In 1994 the Russians attacked Grozny, the Chechen capital, as part of their campaign to stop the breakaway republic. The Russians had massive problems with the Chechens’ deliberate targeting of logistic units. The Russian logisticians were so inept at defense that, not only were Russian infantry units pulled back from the front to guard these units, but also many additional infantrymen were pulled out to fill in the unit vacancies.
RESULT: Logistic units had taken so many casualties, they were completely unable to accomplish their mission!
