The Russians use a PUSH logistical system. Armies are supplied using pre-determined logistical packages that are delivered whether the receiving unit needs them or not.

NATO uses PULL logistics. Commanders request items and those items are delivered.

The PUSH logistics system may be better suited for nuclear war. EMP may damage radios, making communication difficult, but the Russian supplies will still get through without any special requests.

I like his content because he understands the Russian doctrine and gives us good actual news

“Russian logistics are better for a nuclear wasteland” that’s terrifying

I respect that homie just doxxed himself and pointed out his home on a map

There not fighting a “war, ” they’re fighting a “special military action.”

I’ve watched about 10 videos so far and I’ve learned tons in just a few minutes. This is awesome. I had no idea about their logistics differences.

I would watch this dude's videos from an atomic shelter. But as Ukraine's neighbor I really hope I will be able to to continue watching them from my home.

PUSH logistics reminds me of a MASH episode where they doctors are trying to get an incubator and the supply officer says they can’t have one, but they can have a Pizza Oven

I feel like I’ve learned more about the Ukraine Russian war from him than I have from any other media source

I don't think I like what is being implied here. :(

I’m stationed a mile from the White House, me and my fellow Grunts joke about how SOL we are if we get nuked

I really dont like where this is going. Lets hope this is not going where i think this is going

[robertobryk]

I'm confused in two different ways:
1. If we're in a situation where it's hard to communicate, it's also likely that units are not in the places where they were supposed to be at this point, so they are likely not to get their supplies if we simply send them to their planned position. How is that managed? (By even more oversupply?)
2. The push-based system you are describing will be wasteful, but will also (assuming the point above is handled) cause units to be well supplied, at least in the consumables with predictable usage (food, arguably fuel). Anecdotes I've heard about imply that Russian units are severely undersupplied in those consumables. How does using the push-based logistics system lead to that?
