I can only add my own experience with Russian/Soviet army which dates 30+ years back to mandatory military service. It was always the same. Widespread theft meant that not all trucks and tracked vehicles had batteries in them, so the starting them was always either by towing or jumper cables. Oil was so thick that to start in winter you would use blowtorches to heat engine oil sumps from beneath the trucks the night before. During the drills good part of the vehicles could not leave their dislocation areas, and longer marches meant that most part was lost along the way due to breakdowns, disorientation, miscommunications etc. I participated in the drill which required a relatively large unit (approx 10,000 troops in total) to arrive in area some 300 km away from the main base. Later I overheard officers talking that only 25% of the units arrived there on time. Mind you, those were not reserve units, they were supposed to be ready to repel NATO attack on the short notice, hence we had full staff on site and ammunition loaded. Sure later heads of the higher command rolled, but nothing really changed on the ground level. So this does not surprise me at all.
