The Soviet Military was comparable to the US's. Only in content were they noticeably different.

1. The Soviet Army was "tank heavy", more tanks than the US Army.

2. The Soviet Navy was "Submarine heavy", more subs than the US Navy.

3. The US Navy was Aircraft Carrier heavy; The Soviets had no carriers to compare to ours.

4. The US Army was "quality" driven: We couldn't match them tank for tank so we built Tank killers such as the AH-64 Apache Helicopter and the A-10 Thunderbolt II (Warthog) fixed wing aircraft. Ten Apaches and Ten Thunderbolts could knock out two battalions of Soviet Armor (Tanks).

Keep in mind, though, it was called the "Cold" War because open warfare never broke out. Most of the population was terrified by the prospect of going to war, but it never developed beyond technological warfare. Each country tried to develop better technology than the other more quickly and efficiently. We can thank the Cold War for computers, cell phones, color TV, and the internet.
