Really good point. If the Ploesti oilfields were able to supply several Soviet armies for the year 2000 campaigns they must have provided some aviation fuels as well. It's been a long time since I last thought about that. On top of the rest of the difficulties that NATO forces were facing in Poland during the summer offensive there's every chance they would've faced Soviet CAS and other air assets too. What a nightmare.
