(excerpt) SOME TAKEAWAYS:
- Ukrainian forces destroyed all rail links between the two countries.
- Russian forces are relying on analog, unsecured radio communications rather than scrambled digital channels, and Ukrainian forces are listening in and jamming.
- Poor logistics also helped Soviet forces lose in Afghanistan.
- Russia has 30,000 strong military rail organization.
- “Russia doesn’t have enough trucks.” They can’t operate effectively more than 90 miles from supply dumps.
- A large percentage of truck transport was dedicated to rocket resupply, not fuel and food.
- Russia only had 3-5 days of supplies when they invaded. When those ran out, they were screwed.
- Russia’s military works on a “push” logistic system rather than a “pull” system used by the U.S. military, mean it’s not very flexible.
- Russia has the capability to set up the infrastructure for a longer war, but it’s going to take time.
- Russia’s failure to quickly achieve it’s objectives has seen it resort to more desperate and indiscriminate tactics.
