Logistics as a decisive factor in modern warfare (defence24.com)

• Logistics is not a support function but a core strategic factor.
• Ukraine war shows daily ammunition consumption outstrips production.
• Poland positions as NATO logistics hub with infrastructure expansion.

"This analysis argues that logistics—transport, fuel, ammunition, and supply chains—determines war outcomes more than strategy or advanced weapons. The Ukraine war highlights this, with daily 155mm shell consumption exceeding peacetime production of entire states. NATO and European states must enhance logistical resilience; Poland is positioning as a key eastern flank logistics hub. Future logistics will rely on digitalization, autonomous systems, and cybersecurity."
