The Third Raikage is a calm and seemingly level-headed person. And a man who would do anything for his village. He will take down down his enemies wither it will last until his dying breath (via lasting 3 days and nights of fighting). Raikage isn't quick to act much like his hot headed son. With that said he will analyze Gaara and make a rationale conclusion that Gaara is much like his father[

], so he will expect overwhelming sand techs.
Gaara's Sand tech is no threat to the Raikage. Sorry to burst your bubble. With a man that was well known of his body like steel and blood like iron[

] and being able to tank a devastating move like Rasenshirukin (both its cutting and explosive power), Gaara is basically fighting another Kimimaro by scenario. Or should I say a "super Kimimaro w/ super overwhelming speed lol". It was already canon that suppressing Raikage with sand will easily break out of it[

]. Second, Gaara's sand speed still has trouble catching speed like characters proven when trying to capture Joki[

]. With Raikage Raiton armor he moves faster then Joki, fact. So I can pretty much argue of replicating the same feat he was dealing when facing Joki. As he is faster is very agile with good reflexes[

Raikage's fighting style is straight forward. Juggernaut through everything and uses his speed/reflexes when the time comes. That is all thats needed when facing Gaara. Raikage pulls out any variant of Nukite and proceed to juggernaut and pierce through any sand thats in front of him. If a Mass Doton Wall +Yonton Elastic prioritizes couldn't stop him from continually tackle through so Sand is going to stop him but only minor slow him down. If by chance he still gets bury, will only simply walk out much like Kimmaro walking out of desert requiem[

Catching Gaara with Nukite wouldn't be a problem because 1) Gaara always fights at the opponents level shown to the likes of even against Madara. 2.) Gaara using Sand base to capture Raikage can end up being a new platform to use[

In thee end, Gaara gets penetrated to death, as no shield is protecting him from Raikage's Nukite.
Your premise was very easy to counter as it as heavenly relied on Suna Bushin to further support Gaara. Unfortunate you premise holds no water to make that feat claim. Here is what Databook 1 says about Suna Bushin use:
Black: Copying the user's form, a sand puppet.
Quote: Changing into an incarnation, the killing intent destroys the enemy!!
Picture: As it gets a backfist, the head's form changes and attempts to grab
Sasuke, trapping him!!
The sand takes Gaara's shape, becomes a Bunshin and fights. The Suna Bunshin is
different from the other types of Bunshin in that the sand does not completely
assume the form of the user, but remains as sand the entire time. That is to
say, the Bunshin's form can be changed instantly into sand, and the enemy's body
can be trapped. Its many applications with long-range attacks can have it act as
a lure and a decoy. This is where it draws the line with other Bunshin.
Here it is bold and underlined. Kishimoto draw as a conclusion that Suna Bushin =/= Kage Bushin. Nor any other Bushin since every Bushin classes works differently in the Naruto verse.
So the claim of making 3-4 bushin is not supported. And the fact that a single bushin has the chakra to pull out these jutsu when it was strictly built for decoy/distractions. Thus I cant make a rebuttal to something that does not support the manga.
Now you might bring up arguments that this book is waaaaay outdated for me to use it to disprove you as this is shippuden now. Unfortunately for you the same description Kishimoto showed was demonstrated in the war arc too. TWICE: [
