  1. Question: How complex is the logistical chain for the Bradley? Follow up question (that probably can’t be answered until it’s tried): Can Ukraine’s overall logistics system absorb this new weapon system? Premise: The Bradley platform is a subsystem of a “weapon system”, that is to say it’s a component that works with other component systems such as tanks, artillery, air support, and infantrymen. All of these subsystems must be serviced by a logistics system. The basic questions we should be asking are: 1) can the Bradley be added to the mix without overtaxing logistics? 2) Can the Bradley be integrated into the currently constituted fighting force, either in the vehicles intended role or pressed into a different role? (Ryan suggests it could be used mainly as an artillery spotting device, for example. Depending on which model is sent.) The logistics issue is really a big deal because there is also an opportunity cost. Opening a new logistics chain will most likely constrain currently existing chains (supplying and servicing artillery, for example). I really hope that the Bradley can be successfully integrated, and if so, the U.S. sends a metric shit ton.
