Russian supply squeeze blamed for wartime reverses
Reports from multiple sources say Russian reverses stem largely from ammunition shortages. Until Archangel harbor opened in May, Russia lacked a viable port for munitions, relying on the Trans-Siberian route. Japan’s wartime supply restraints, slow Siberian rail lines, and long sea shipments from the United States hindered timely Russian resupply. Artillery and rifles were scarce, with some troops said to fight with crowbars in hand to hand combat. Once Archangel fully opens, experts expect improved logistics and rail capacity to fix the supply bottleneck.
