Their logistic chain certainly is so complex that they need creativ thinking and plenty of ingenious improvisation skills to master it. So far they have.

I hinted at this some times, that every new individual Western system delivered, every new platform, needs them to make the logistics network even more complex and difficult for them.



As the saying goes: In war, amateurs focus on tactics, professionals focus on logistics.



Ideally, we should not have sent the Marder, Bradley and AMX-10, but just lets say the Bradley (just an example), or even better only Marders because they are closer to the theatre already, and replace the delivering country'S losses internally in NATO, and outside the war.



Instead, they now have three vehicles, one in low quantity, and need to open three full supply lines now. Or the Challengers from UK. Just ten tanks, that is nothing decisive at all - but they need to open a full supply chain just for these ten tanks. Thats why I am against the US delivering the Abrams, and Biden seems to think the same way, media said he told that the Germans that he doe snto nweant to send Abrams due to the gas turbine issue. We should deliver them Leopards only. And we should make sure that these many different national versions are as similiar and as small in diversity as possible. Even withint he same base variant, lets say 2A4, a Leopard for country A is not like the Leopard for another country named B, they all have their own ammo, their own modified electronics specifications, their own software, even changes in the engines, transmission... Ammo fired from one Leopard may not work when fired form another nation's Leopard even if the Rheinmetal gun by verison number is exactly the same: its about warhead programming maybe, or electronics and software code for feeding the (differing) targetting computer. There are not just 5 or 6 different versions of Leopard-2 in service in Europe - but DOZENS.
