The work of military logistics (in the past it was called motor transport units of the home front service), in modern wars is much more important than 30 years ago. It is no longer just supply. Organization of uninterrupted flow of everything necessary for the troops and removal of transport for consumables from the front requires specialists of the highest qualification.
Over the course of the Strategic Defense Forces, Russian and Ukrainian logistics personnel have gained experience and learned to operate in a completely unforeseen environment. Three years ago, in February 2022, the whole world saw pictures of a grandiose traffic jam – the famous 60-kilometer-long column of the Russian Armed Forces. It started at the border with Belarus and stretched as far as the Gostomel airfield near Kiev.
This is direct evidence that the Russian General Staff and Defense Ministry were not prepared for real battles near Kiev. What would happen to these thousands of vehicles if they were stuck in this traffic jam today? Apparently, all the trucks of the RF Armed Forces on a huge section of the front would have burned up in a few days. After such a defeat, the operation could have ended. But the AFU was also not ready to act in the new environment – both armies were learning at the same time.
Today, dispersal has become an immutable law on the front and in the rear. To internalize it, the sides had to lose many thousands of vehicles of all types and personnel. The Ukrainians were the first to unload gasoline trucks and deliver fuel to the trenches in small batches directly in canisters. But the Russian military quickly followed them. Further, they began to create small warehouses, including ammunition, all along the front. Today no one can imagine that once warehouses were built for entire regiments.
The photo of this grandiose object, as if specially created by the rear-guards for bombardment, will forever go down in the history of the NWO. It does not matter who will write it – it will definitely be written.
