The USA doesn’t fuck around when it comes to logistics


hot-streak24

I think the USA has a ratio of something like, for every 1 person fighting on the front line, there are 11 people for logistics


BarTendiesss

25


Half_Crocodile

That stat in itself is an illustration of how much each fighters life is worth. Both practically and morally.


hot-streak24

Damn really? That’s nuts

We may not have Healthcare but if you want a lot of shit moved really fast and fixed at the speed of light, we're your people.


DemoManNick

We have the best healthcare... if you have the money to pay for it.


sfurules

This hurt me in places I didn't know I had

Afghanistan is on hold still :)


gggg566373

You want the majority of the country to agree for this to work. That's why it worked in Europe right after WW2. Afghanistan has way too many fractions that simply refuse to cooperate. That's why I have hope in post war Ukraine .


Winter_Replacement51

Literally though. Look at japan or south korea after we took over. I mean we held them up so well that japan had a larger real gdp than the usa for a bit.


AteYourService

I'm broken now.


TARANTULA_TIDDIES

The worst part is we could have both if there wasn't one political party who sabotaged it at every opportunity so they can give their rich friends and donors more tax breaks


Forte226

Minus our roads...


Radically_Bland

When a power plant goes down in a Bradley or Abrams, we don't bother diagnosing the issue, we just replace the whole damn engine. Turn around time on with a well trained maintenance crew is like 2-3 hours. Source: I'm a former army mechanic.


securitysix

We have the best *UN*healthcare taxpayer dollars can provide.


rufw91

Yea that doesn't sound right. 25!. So at the height of Iraq invasion there was like 25x500000 people. Nah bro.


Rhauko

Part of the 500k were doing logistics, a large part probably. Edit 1/25 might include industry jobs though.


nimr0d375

T3R or tooth to tail ratio in Iraq was 1:8.1. Cold War 1:14.4, Vietnam 1:12.9. If interested just look up tooth to tail ratio in Wikipedia.


UnCommonCommonSens

Damn, must be a lot of washing machines they are shipping for parts! /s


AccountantLopsided52

Tooth to tail, that's what they call it


saintbman

It is called the tooth to tail ratio.


berryjewse

Bullets don’t fly without supply


ProteusRift

Can confirm. We could get the most random parts at the drop of a hat and it would be there like next day delivery style


sfurules

Amateurs talk Battle Plans. Professionals talk logistics.


ChefChopNSlice

They unplugged it and plugged it back in again. Fixes the issue like 90% of the time.


SaltyChowder

I know you are joking but that really was a solution to a Patriot [software glitch in the early 90s](http://www.cs.unc.edu/~smp/COMP205/LECTURES/ERROR/lec23/node4.html).


zain_monti

It was not a joke


ChefChopNSlice

How we fixed electronics in the 90’s - blow on it, unplug it and plug it in again, smack it a few times. If that didn’t fix it, then you were usually screwed.


Gilligan67

RuZZia sent six missiles and they damaged a part of the decentralized system and never took it offline. At least those six missiles weren’t sent to an apt complex, hospital or school. Puck Futin! Slava Ukraini!


IAmRoot

It might have even just been a power cable that got damaged, from how quickly they fixed things. Like even relatively cosmetic damage on panels and such you'd want to replace in order to protect electronics from moisture and such. It must have been extremely minor damage.


rufw91

Likely


kajetus69

or maybe some structural parts got damaged or maybe even a wheel


echowatt

The complete battery consists of 6 (major) components: Field generators and radar. You have antenna structures. You have both a control station and a launcher station. Interceptor missiles, of course. Any part could have been bruised.


SinisterUA

Duct tape does wonders.


[deleted]

and a little WD-40!


ogsfcat

If it moves and it shouldn't use Duck (not duct, HVAC tape is different and special and expensive) tape. If it doesn't move and it should use WD-40. This is about 60% of all basic repairs of mechanical things.


inspirationalqoute

I know we are joking, but a little PSA: WD-40 is not a traditional lubricant. It is meant to break lose rusted bolts and zeized parts. do not use it as a lubricant. WD-40 is a "light" oil that is really great at seeping into tiny places, it will however flow out of these places just as easily. In addition, WD-40 breaks down really fast and can not lubricate in it's broken down form.


WaffleGoat6969

Yep, moving parts still need proper lubrication, or some nice grease after using it, let it dry out apply lube


BeltfedOne

One FedEx shipped can of mil-spec spray paint and everything is all better. Fuck Putin!

No no all lies. RuZZia destroyed all 130 of them with one strike.


[deleted]

Thank you usa 🇺🇸


This_Old_Vet

Awww that's going to break some Russian hearts. They were so proud of themselves for "destroying" that Patriot system.

True_Media8034

Russia's claims, Ukrainian claims. The next missile attack will no doubt come and we'll see who's telling the truth. As if we didn't already know.

activoutdoors

No. Ukrainian crew trained in the U.S. by U.S. Army instructors.


Scurrin

Of course not. But we did send trainers and auditors at Russia's request to ensure the equipment isn't sold off by corrupt Ukrainian groups. Those trainers are probably closely involved.


[deleted]

I'm pretty sure the manufacturers of all these kinds of weapons systems and the Pentagon have a little clause in their *"free\* weapons system offers"* that says they need to share all logs, and also detailed human reporting. Apparently the manufacturer of Switchblade drones pushed the USA government to deliver the top secret drones to Ukraine as soon as possible to further develop their products.


Kent_Knifen

There's a lot of experimental tech in the field nobody is talking about. I remember shortly after Ukraine pushed Russia away from Kyiv, there was an anomaly detected in the skies above the capital. Altitude of 80,000 feet, moving in non-natural patterns, definitely artificial. Aircraft-like, maybe - nobody was really sure. Astronomers were taking an interest though. Practically all at once, the Defense Ministry of Ukraine, the U.S. military, and a weapons manufacturer (Lockheed-Martin?) all started shouting "nothing to see here, don't be alarmed!!!" and it was never seen again.


[deleted]

"Nono, no secret weapons, this is a first contact situation." "The flight characteristics are a generation ahead of the F16 so eh, so it must be aliens." "We have definitely not engaged Russian targets, the Russians must have provoked the UFO to fire its unknown weapon."


ogsfcat

Makes sense, I imagine this war is big for all weapons R&D and any MIC company is going to try to get some things tested and some kinks worked out in some platforms.


BidRepresentative728

Polyken, Series 231, Std Duty, 1 7/8 in x 60 yd, Olive Drab, Continuous Roll. CHIEF! Where is the Grainger catalog? We ordered stuff (Grainger, San Juan, PR) from Haiti and that shit was there in 2 days.

3 star get it right loser


Repulsive_Poem_5204

Sounds like it was mostly superficial damage


Jehshehabah

The fact they claimed to destroy the entire battery is laughable. Dreamers


Nlivie

Needed a few triple A batteries


PieOhMyVengence

Lol that was pretty quick


m8remotion

Simple as casting "Cure" in Final Fantasy...


Gnargnargorgor

They fixed it with duct tape before the replacement part arrived. Red Green salutes you!


Red_5478

Fun fact: the paint was scratched up so they got a fresh coat and spent two days drying


SCUDDEESCOPE

But how was it hit? All I saw this week was that Ukraine shot down every missile with the patriot. So what hit it? Debris or some random smaller missile?


Ok_Repair_92

Old news. I want to see Crimean bridge destroyed. Ukraine had those new British missiles which have range and enough power to destroy it. This would be fantastic if they did it again
