War might never change, but logistical situations do! A bit of writers block delayed me writing this however with rumors of Russian commanders being told to storm Dnipro by may 9th, its time to look at how (un)realistic that is.
If you need a recap please visit my numbers from early last year! and a special thanks to @UAControlMap for their amazing work which helped make this possible.
It has come to my attention I missed doing a thread on the Kherson-Dnipro front. It is time to rectify this mistake! Grab a drink, calculators not required! I will do that part for you, and lets talk logistics of Russia on the Dnipro
Kherson is relatively quiet compared to other sections of the front. This by in large is because not only is it the smallest of the Russian groupings, but Russia uses this theater as a place to rotate troops and reconstitute in a quieter section of the front.

Gather around for a logistics thread everyone, today we will discuss the logistical needs of the Russian army around Avdiivka, Donetsk. I will cover the big three logistical commodities, Ammunition, Fuel, and water. As these are the biggest enablers to allow an army to fight.
To understand my numbers, and to simplify the averages I use the following standard vehicles to calculate logistical needs. Tanks I use the T72 which is a happy medium especially for fuel consumption at 1200L for 1100L for a T80 and 1600L for a T90. AFV's I use the BMP2.
