Any fight between actual tier 1 militaries would be a bloodbath like we haven't seen since WWII. Worse than that, because the weapon systems are orders of magnitude more lethal. just entire armies being wiped out by missiles and artillery fire until both sides ran out of planes and missiles, then it'd be back to WWII tank warfare until they ran out of tanks, then it'd be WWI trench fighting.
War is just the interlude between diplomatic negotiation.
I doubt it would ever get to tank warfare much less trench warfare. We'd shoot our load, declare victory, and then negotiate a retreat from the region that saves as much face as possible. Same as what happened in Afghanistan, Korea, and Vietnam.
