Since Russia launched a special military operation, the Russian army's logistical aches has been no new. Now, Putin finally can't stand it.
According to CCTV reports, Putin clearly required at the meeting of the Russian Armed Forces Demand Coordination Committee on the 24th that coordination should be strengthened in four aspects: military uniforms, equipment, medical care, and the issuance of subsidies to determine the task progress and completion deadline.
can be named publicly at the meeting, which shows that Putin's dissatisfaction with these aspects has accumulated a lot.

military uniforms
As early as last month, Russian media broke the news that Russian military stock 1.5 million sets of winter uniforms were mysteriously missing . This news has not been officially confirmed yet, and the numbers seem to be a bit exaggerated. After all, the Russian army has only about 1.2 million troops in total. If 1.5 million sets of winter clothes are lost, it can almost be said to be the entire inventory of Russian army's winter clothes.

However, it is no longer new to borers within the Russian army that "resell" winter clothes and other supplies in large quantities. Moreover, not only winter military uniforms, but also winter tents and other supplies are also "hot goods" on the black market. Not long ago, a video of the mobilized soldiers from the Russian Sakha Republic were filmed and complained online, saying that the temperature at the local military training base had dropped to minus 25℃, but the single tents with loopholes in the tents of the mobilized soldiers and the thickened winter tents could not even see the shadows.

Moreover, there were reports that Russia planned to purchase 500,000 winter clothes and 200,000 body armor through the third direction of Turkey . However, Turkey directly rejected the Russian side's request, This may make the Russian army more difficult to supply in winter.
equipment
Not long ago, Ukrainian soldiers said that they found that the Russian individual equipment they seized was very simple, such as individual soldier helmets , some were ordinary motorcycle helmets with steel plates , and some high-end helmets that looked like Kevlar material, but in fact, old-fashioned steel helmets with aramid non-woven liner . Such helmets can only protect against pistol bullets and are useless in the face of rifle bullets.

There are also Russian soldiers who have revealed that the high-quality tactical vests that the Russian airborne soldiers should have been equipped with were replaced with cheap tactical vests before going to the battlefield. The new mobilized soldiers got rusty rifles. bulletproof vests and other life-saving equipment are recommended to new recruits to buy by themselves. There is a personal loan center next to the recruitment office. Many mobilized soldiers in many areas have no equipment, which almost caused a mutiny at the training base.

medical
medical services are even hard to describe. Some regional conscription offices suggested that soldiers buy large bags of sanitary napkins for use as tourniquet . Some Ukrainian army also found medical package made in Russian prisoners. It is said that it was distributed uniformly by the conscription office, but the medicines and consumables in the medical package have deteriorated. If used for battlefield first aid, it will only increase the risk of infection and there is no way to cure the disease.

allowances
The work of distributing allowances to mobilized soldiers is also very chaotic. In the order signed by Putin, local governments required that they pay 195,000 rubles (about 23,000 RMB) to soldiers and mercenaries in one lump sum. At the same time, they emphasized that the html February allowance for each mobilized soldier should not be less than 1.95,000 rubles , including during training before going to the front line.
However, many mobilized soldiers did not receive full allowances. Not long ago, a group of mobilized soldiers from the Russian Federation of Chuvash Republic protested collectively in the base that they have not received a one-time subsidy of 300,000 rubles (about 35,000 yuan) promised by the recruitment office, nor have they received the promised monthly allowance.This is because the mobilization allowance needs to be resolved by local governments, and Chuvash Republic does not have that much money at all. In the end, as a pacification, the Chuvash Republic will pay the mobilized soldiers a one-time subsidy of 50,000 rubles (about 6,000 yuan) per person. Although the money is small, it is much stronger than the mobilized soldiers in other regions. For example, the mobilized soldiers of Tyumen only received 795 rubles (about 94 yuan), and the mobilized soldiers of Volgograd area did not have a penny.

After seeing so many chaos in recruitment and military operations, it is no wonder Putin was furious. If these things are not resolved as soon as possible, let alone victory, the soldiers will not mutiny on the front line, which will be the best ending.
