Found an interesting discussion today about the poor performance of much of the Russian support vehicles.
Basically they are saying that photos of vehicles with burst tyres seem to point to a combination of using cheap Chinese copies of a Michelin design, and poor maintenance, resulting in sun-rotted sidewalls which cannot cope with low pressures and mud.
There's also some discussion about corruption in the Russian army as well. The writer seems to know his beans.
