When the Russians first rolled into Kiev earlier this year, their convoy had
several vehicles showing dry rotted tires. The side walls were separating
between the rim and tread. If there werer regular inspections, those tires
were unsafe for driving around a test track let alone atke a road trip to
invade another nation. A specially trained armored crew becomes infantryment
when their radiators are full of corroded scale and their water pumps sieze
up. There is a saying, "for the want of a nail, a horse shoe is lost." To
make it short, this loss of a shoe takes a rider from the fight. That rider
was essential to winning the battle, and eventually a war. One missing nail
seems isignificant, but what does that say about several horse improperly
shoed?
Incompetent might be the wrong word to use. Due to their mandatory service
of 2(?) years, most troops do not become career troops. Troops spend their
summers putting out forest fires, otherwise they beg for money during their
break time. In the Western Services, the logistics guys and administrative
people are non-commissioned officers. Specialists, corporals, and sergeants.
The Russian army leads from the top and has colonels managing things we can do e
easily with lower ranked troops. That is why there were so many confirmed
command officers (colonels, generals) being killed or captured early on.
Imagine this was WWII, and Patton or Montgomery were caught leaving the French b
order dressed in German enlisted infantry uniforms? In peacetime those lead
officers are in a position of trust, but aren't checked on a regular basis
regarding the warehouses of hardware they could've told a sergeant to do if
they were in a western army. Where did 15 million new uniforms intended for
these reserve troops disappear to? How about all those tanks missing
reactive anti-armor plates? The Ukrainians pulled off the armor in terms of
using it themselves, then found it was probably gone before it left the
warehouse. Corruption at it's worst.
