Why Killing Logistics Works Better Than Killing Soldiers

Yigal Levin and Ryan O’Leary argue that instead of accelerating the destruction of Russian infantry, the focus should shift to dismantling Russian logistics—both along the front line and deep in the operational rear.

Strange statements.

Targeting Russian logistics and equipment—without striking the factories that produce and repair them—amounts to hitting the leg, not the heart. It can only be regarded as a tactical move, not a strategy.

Destroyed Russian soldiers, however, cannot be replaced. A soldier is not a piece of equipment but a unit that requires twenty years of “production” and the formation of social ties.

Moreover, the destruction of hundreds of thousands—or even a million—Russian soldiers inevitably shapes future opponents of war among today’s Russian children.

Therefore, inflicting 500,000 casualties on the enemy within a year constitutes a strategic approach.

Strategy is about sharpening society itself—its will to win, its intellect, its strength, and its spirit.

Ukraine must destroy key Russian production facilities in both strategic and operational depth, as well as ammunition logistics and command structures. This directly reduces the pressure on our frontline infantry while degrading Russian infantry units

To do this, we must conduct proper intelligence work and analysis—and make the right decisions.

Meanwhile, “swamp patriots,” accustomed to sausages priced at 2–20 kopecks, should come to the same conclusion they did in the late 1980s: that they do not need such statehood at all.
