Europe could defend itself, sure, but it wouldn't qualify as superpower in the military area. It doesn't have the same power projection as it used to have and what the US has now. Europe's military state has been abandoned since the end of cold war and production fell. That is why Europe is struggling to produce equipment for Ukraine. The continent has been reliant of US for much of its military munitions, vehicles and equipment.
