1/ Russia is experiencing chronic supply problems in eastern Ukraine, according to a Russian milblogger, due to a combination of constant drone attacks, fuel shortages, crushing bureaucracy, and obstructive military police. ⬇️ https://x.com/TheDeadDistrict/...
2/ The 'Tactical medicine courses' Telegram channel comments on the dire situation currently facing Russian vehicle logistics:
3/ "Every day I see how this absurd situation with transport and fuel undermines the combat effectiveness of units and simply destroys people. I'll explain in simple terms why this is a matter of life and death, not bureaucratic formalities.
4/ "Imagine certain sections of the front where ammunition, provisions, and medicine need to be delivered as quickly as possible, and the wounded evacuated.
5/ "It's a scene I've witnessed dozens of times: you, dirty, grimy, having not slept for five days, your hands shaking from exhaustion, get into your battered Niva, bought sometime in the suburbs of Donetsk with your last money, and speed along the torn-up roads, risking at any…
6/ …second being blown up by a tripwire or caught in artillery fire. You're delivering ammunition to the guys at the front so they can repel another attack, you're carrying water and food because they've been sitting in the trenches for two days without provisions.
7/ "Or you're assembling a column of two or three of these rusty old cars for an urgent combat mission—you need to urgently move a group to a dangerous area where an assault is about to begin.
8/ "And then begins that very theatre of the absurd, the kind only a bureaucrat who's never seen war up close, beyond his computer screen, could conceive.
9/ "The military police stop you at the checkpoint, and instead of helping you or even letting you through, they begin a humiliating interrogation: "Why are you, a defender of the Fatherland, traveling in such a vehicle? Where are your documents? Whose vehicles are they?"
10/ "I've seen grown, serious men, who've been through the hell of battle, close to tears from helplessness. Instead of completing a combat mission, you spend hours, sometimes even days, proving the obvious, wasting precious time while somewhere on the front lines, the guys are…
11/ …waiting for those very same bullets, waiting for evacuation, waiting for reinforcements. And every wasted hour is paid for in blood.
12/ "Fuel is a separate, simply outrageous story. Fuel is perpetually in short supply because the vehicles are working at full capacity, constantly driving, day and night.
13/ "Two weeks into the month, supply quotas are exhausted, and then the soldiers are forced to buy fuel out of their own pockets, even though their missions haven't gone anywhere!
14/ "And the staffing table, those beautiful little papers written somewhere in Moscow or Rostov-on-Don, still states that a soldier must travel in a slow-moving Ural, Kamaz, or MTLB.
15/ "Have you ever seen what a kamikaze drone does with such "standard" transport? This is not a vehicle, it is a mass grave on wheels, a huge, unwieldy, slow target.
16/ "It's time to finally fucking realize it's 2025, not the 1990s! We're not fighting Dudayev's militants, but an army equipped with the latest technology. Modern warfare demands mobility, flexibility, speed, and stealth.
17/ "We must urgently—I'd say yesterday—revise these outdated, dusty regulations, provide vehicles with fuel at least for the duration of combat operations, and legalise and include in official databases those vehicles that actually save the day at the front,…
18/ …not those that look good in reports. This is technically a simple solution: issue the same combat orders (BRKs) for such vehicles, assign them to units, and put them on rations.
19/ "But instead, we see yet another absurd ban—just recently, soldiers were banned from driving their personal vehicles! In other words, you can't use the only thing that saves you and allows you to carry out orders. This isn't just bureaucracy; it's sabotage.
20/ "If we truly want to win, and not sit in the trenches, it's time to finally start thinking with our heads and adapting to reality, not paper regulations written by people who've never heard a drone whistle overhead.
21/ "While we argue about regulations, people are dying out there. And their blood is on the conscience of those who continue this paper war against their own soldiers." /end Source: https://t.me/tacticalmedicinec...
@ChrisO_wiki the AFU's offensive on Ruzz infrastructure and logistic over the last 1 1/2 years will go down in history as the most successful attrition of an enemies capability to make war...ever Slava Ukrayiny ...only Victory
