Alright, it is time for another adventure in "logistical enablers" in the latest US arms shipment to Ukraine.
Specifically look at this line:
"Eight heavy fuel trucks and 105 fuel trailers."
1/8
The heavy fuel truck could only be the US Army's M978 heavy tactical fuel truck.
2/8
I've talked about these logistical enablers of heavy mechanized offensives previously on Twitter.
3/8
The "105 fuel trailers" offer several possibilities.
This 7,500-gallon petroleum tank semitrailer behind an M1088 FMTV semi-tractor is one possibility. (See the global security link)
@battle_order featured it in a recent tweet thread of his.

4/8
The modular fuel system on a PLS truck-trailer tank rack module mounted on a M1076 PLS trailer is another.
5/8

The lowest end of possibility is this dismountable tank and pump unit used in the US Army FMTV trailer fleet.
6/8
I think the 7,500-gallon petroleum tank semitrailer is the most likely for that military aid line as semi-tractor connections are universal and Ukraine has access to Semi-tractors in the European Union militaries & economy to pull them.
The next several weeks will tell
7/8
...which we will see lines of them in the Ukrainian counter attack logistical trains.
Ukraine's 'big cats' will prowl on megatons of diesel fuel delivered by these trailers.
8/8 End
