Perhaps even a great deal more.

As I often found out in earlier times, I'm also sure the plentiful and accurate ISR only told them of some of the problems they might face. Regrettably, that knowledge does not help much in dealing with those who object to your presence...

Nor does it help in digging out the large number who survive the fire and other support poured upon them -- above or below ground.
