"Europe actually has a sufficiently developed civilian transport infrastructure, but sometimes there are some" bottles ", such as bridges or tunnels, which are simply not adapted for transportation of heavy and overall military equipment. There are many other places, which are struck, which are struck. Analysts emphasized that Europeans have problems not only with rail, but also with automobile, which, although slow and expensive, but could also be thrown away military equipment on trala trucks.
Another theoretical way to rapidly throw armored vehicles to the Russian front is the transportation of military transport aircraft. But even here, Europeans are all "sad", analysts say. There are few large aircraft capable of taking on board. Only British C-17 Globemaster III and Ukrainian An-124 Ruslan are capable of this. "But the problem is that C -17 Globemaster III in Europe 8 units, and only the UK has them, and in turn the An-124" Ruslan "has only Ukraine in the amount of 5-6 units.
This is obviously not enough for transportation of significant forces in a short time," experts said. They specified that Americans could help, but they will obviously be forced to attract these planes to throw their own strength. Another or less rapid deployment of European forces on the Eastern Front could be maritime transportation by cargo courts, including landing ships. However, this method is in fact quite slow, experts say.
"Low speed of union forces from Western Europe, such as in the Baltic countries, puts them under great threat and will give a significant advantage, so they can deeply move deep into the territory Express. They also reminded that the European Commission is preparing an investment plan for 17 billion euros to strengthen military mobility. "This plan will modernize 500 priority infrastructure projects, and funding will be allocated during 2028-2034," the authors of the material explained.
