Yep. THOSE Soviets.
Tell me about it.
I think you're confusing material superiority with the aforementioned concepts, but I might be wrong. Please elaborate.

The only reason the soviets had any logistics at all is due to lend lease.
We sent them so many trucks that they went from an immobile army on defensive's 1941-1943 to a very German styled mobile army 1944-45.
Lend lease did save the Soviet Union despite all the Russia won da war by dem selves sayers.
Here is where Lend lease proved most effective, Trucks, Rubber and fuel, not tanks, planes and guns.
They had the manpower always did but Germany still walked all over them because they lacked mobility, We gave them that mobility and they quickly turned the tables although getting black eyes all the way to Berlin.
And also for your close air support argument, While not quite a Sturmovik the P-47's and the Typhoons and Tempests were still just about as effective with the added advantage that they were no longer bomb trucks when the payload was dropped but competitive fighters!
