True, but if you land in Archangel they will just kill your little invasion on the next turn with troops from Novgorod. They can still attack you with mech, armor, and planes but any losses they incur doing that will be expensive to replace. With 3 inf, 3 tanks, they might not even be able to kill them all and you will have a tank or two for the blitz. Stopping you will be a distraction from the front. This is called being a trouble maker.
