A quick "Mud & Truck Maintenance" infrastructure observation here.
I want people to look closely at these photos _NOT_ at the destroyed tank, but the road under it.
That road will fall apart under the weight of heavily loaded supply trucks after that tank is removed.

There have been hundreds of such explosively destroyed & burned out fighting vehicles on the roads to the Ukrainian cities Russia wants to conquer.
As Ukrainian Territorials destroy more of the 'Deadline Daveski" Russian AFV's during "Road Burning Duty" sweeps.

More and more road bed is going to be structurally destroyed by intense, hours long, heat of ammunition cook off.
This is the attrition of war hitting Ukrainian roads that the road bound due to the Raputisa & bad tire maintenance Russian trucks have to use.

One of the things that I was looking for in the build up of Russian forces around Ukraine was the stockpiles of sand, gravel and pre-made concrete structures to extensive road repair & maintenance required for extended mechanized combat operations.
There wasn't any.

Captured Russian Army documents make clear Putin's generals planned a three day "special operation" so they did not lay on the civil engineering supplies to support the road maintenance needed for artillery-heavy mechanized combat operations.

The @GirkinGirkin videos of the Russian Army 2nd strategic echelon movements that Putin's generals didn't think they would need are _STILL_ not showing any of the civil engineering supplies necessary for the war they have.

We should be seeing Russian civilian dump trucks filled with road building materials, flatbed semi-tractor trailers with pre-made culverts and excavators being staged in large numbers.
There just aren't any.

This strongly suggest to me that Putin's generals are on a very short economic clock regards how long Russia can fund combat operations
Think six to 10 weeks of high intensity mechanized combat operations.
Being on "sand & gravel watch" was not on my bingo card for 2022.
