Both are good.
Since the beginning of May, Ukraine has targeted and destroyed ~25600 trucks and fuel tankers (an avg of ~376 every single day for the last 68 days), crippling Russias ability to supply the front lines as well as their own civilian infrastructure. Suposedly they only have ~40000 soviet era trucks in storage (and a good portion of those have received 0 maintenance so are in a questionable state).
Can't wage a war when you can't get supplies to it. It's also hard to control civil unrest when civilians no longer have access to necessities.
Hey can you cite his please it is a brilliant stat I have not seen before
@wildflower@lemmy.world posts a daily update with total losses of the ememy.
If you scroll through their history, each day since the beginning of May has 300-600 trucks and fuel tanks destroyed. Todays total minus the May 1st total (119038-93009), is 26029 destroyed.
The 40000 number came from a youtube blogger, not sure which specific video; there's a lot in my watch history lately.
Having to protect your transportation vehicles also stretches your defenses.
