Abstract

This research note aims to offer an alternative viewpoint to the one given in ‘Russia’s Iron Horse and its Logistic Limitations in the Ukraine War’ by using the lens of Red Army practice during the Soviet-German War, 1941–1945. This demonstrates that although countries may be poorer and less well-resourced, nonetheless they can achieve impressive results using innovative means. It may be that the Russian Federation’s armed forces do not meet Western standards of transportation and supply levels, yet by structuring their operations in particular ways and giving their soldiers a lower standard of support, they may be more capable than first appears.
