Dette vil bidra til å danne et bedre bilde av kapasitene i russisk krigsproduksjon. Med et viktig bufferlager ute, vil mere måtte gå direkte fra fabrikk til fronten.
Når det gjelder krigsproduksjon, så er det en faktor som begrenser hvor mange soldater som Russland kan mobilisere. Ikke bare er det grenser for hvor mange soldater Russland har kapasitet til å utruste og forsyne. Antallet som mobiliseres vil redusere arbeidsstyrken og dermed krigsproduksjonen.
Ukraina har også dette dilemmaet, men har i alle fall i teorien produksjonskapasitet i vesten i ryggen.
Vil ellers ta med et sistat fra Tendar på X. Han kommenterer Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral William D. Leahy sine prioriteringer under andre verdenskrig:
It was him who proposed a focused war economy in the USA, with only as many troops as necessary. Leahy understood that the trade-offs of having a super-enlarged large army - as General George C. Marshall demanded - were detrimental to an allied victory. The real power of any army lies not in the number of troops but in its economy backing it. Leahy pushed his agenda through against Marshall‘s will. That decision paved the way for the unbeatable US economy and eventually the allied victory.
The discussions in the book remind me of the discussions we are seeing in Ukraine. Should Ukraine mobilize more men? What impact does this have on Ukraine’s war economy? These are no easy questions. But there are indicators showing that Ukraine is not doing that bad. There is a good area where this can be seen and this is Ukraine drone industry. There is not question about the importance of drones in this war, whether in air, water and now even on the ground, and Ukraine apparently overtook Russia in this area. Drones have an significant impact in inflicting painful harm on the Russian army and economy. The strike against the Toropets ammunition storage recently removed a substantial amount of Russian resources from the table. Without the drone industry those decisive strikes would be unthinkable.
