—”Russia has trucks.”

Then why is Russia leasing so many trucks from Europe?

Look closely at the photos of the trucks on the Putin bridge, before something happened to it.

One of the reasons they are short on trucks is that somehow, someone installed cheap Chinese tires on all the Russian trucks. The tires looked good in the many parades but other than that... not so good.

And you mentioned logistics, for unknown reasons Russia has stuck with the ancient methods of hand-loading trucks and ships. Nothing palletized no fork trucks and many of the conscript laborers like to enjoy a cigarette while working and that can have some terrible consequences.

As General Omar Bradley famously said: “Amateurs talk strategy. Professionals talk logistics.”

Logistics includes speedy transport to a hospital, and not abandoning their wounded comrades and dead as they run away.

Yes, and General Omar Bradley was fighting against Fascism/Nazism instead of supporting and sympathizing with them within Ukraine and the neo-Nazi Banderist Kyiv Regime.

Ironic huh?

The Chinese tend to not make good rubber.

There are civilian trucks in Russia with good tires. Russians have jacks and tire irons.

Yep, the man who helped defeat the Germans and then spent even more years defending America from the Russians.

General Omar Bradley the first Chairman of the NATO Military Committee.
Bradley was also a leader during the United Nations war against Russia/Red China/North Korea.
