The Third Reich used lots of beasts of burden for their logistics as well. Makes sense when you want to save your oil and steel for fighting vehicles ~~because your industrial base ain't all that~~.
Germany had huge shortages of metal and fuel all throughout the war. Russia has resources, they’re just apparently awful at logistics.
Or maybe for some unknown reason, it seems there are less workers than there used to be.
Apparently containerisation is still not widespread in Russia, and most of their (civilian and military) shipping is breakbulk like it’s the 1930s.
