While I don't entirely disagree with the replies below asserting them to be equivalent to a strike air wing, another possibility for comparison is armor. Tank platoons are usually four tanks strong, in two tank sections (since Tanya's men appear to pair up with a wingman, that comparison holds true). Similarly, an armored battalion is usually four companies of 14 tanks each. So Tanya having a mage battalion 48 strong when you consider the battlefield impact a mage can have is a perfectly reasonable number. They're more like tanks or strike aircraft than infantry.
