“Dispersion of headquarters under a vertically centralized command structure with archaic communications is simply impossible. Dispersal of warehouses is possible, but requires maximum simplification and automation of loading and unloading and delivery of ammunition…but the whole process is still based on manual labor and ordinary wooden boxes,” wrote Voenny Osvedomitel, a Russian war blog on Telegram. Introducing such reforms “under the circumstances will take years or at best months, so it is already too late,” he added. “We can discuss at length, but in the current situation we do not see any universal and quick solution to the problem.” A drastic solution advocated by another Russian blogger would be to destroy all road and rail bridges along the Dnieper River in central Ukraine with cruise missiles. It is not yet clear whether the Kheimar and NATO-standard 155mm artillery strikes will swing the war decisively in Ukraine’s favor.
