I’ve been away from the military a long time but shouldn’t the ratio of support vehicles to tanks be much higher? Like a minimum of 3 to 1. So where are the trucks? Maybe off prepositioning supply dumps or bringing up more supplies and equipment?

Or maybe the tanks are not real, but mockups (drone bait), or are likely broken and awaiting parts? Both of which would explain the lack of support and lack of soldiers.

Been away from the mil for a long time too.

On the trucks, my guess would be that, since the old Sov built many of its armor and mech inf units just for show but not for go, and has always been disastrously short on actual logistics capability, that the trucks available are shuttling back and forth between units in actual operation as in on the move at the time.

That would be, if I were to guess. I’m not paid to guess anymore so, ain’t gonna.
