Platoon size, maybe a batallion of lightly armed SWAT style troops with some armoured personel carriers and a few heavy machine guns. Rest is mainly crowd control to block off the immediate area around a largely static threat to keep Instagram "influencers" with their selfie sticks out, not to contain an army of what appears to be effectively medium class tanks. | |
