[quote=Anonymous]As winter proceeds, there has been an interesting observation coming from Ukrainian troops that have used both NATO and Soviet gear:

NATO gear is made for missions, and Soviet gear is made for war. NATO gear performs amazingly when its supply chain is fully intact, it can attack and disengage, and then return to base for maintenance and replenishment. When those supply chains dry up, or it can't be rotated, NATO gear is failing on the battlefield. Many of the NATO vehicles also can't seem to handle the mud and ice. There are videos of Strykers stuck in mud that isn't particularly bad. There are also rumors that the Abrams have issues with their filters, and are being withheld from the combat zone.

Soviet gear on the other hand loses far less capability when supply or maintenance is interrupted. Its more friendly to field and ad-hoc repair. Its also more suited to the climate of Ukraine with mud proving far less of a problem. It may not match NATO gear at its peak, but it seems to be more reliable in the long run.

Its interesting to see a lot of old "what-ifs" from the cold war being played out in Ukraine. [/quote]
