Think of how often a modern MBT would have to tank up. NATO must have spent the whole of 1999 stockpiling fuel (and everything else) and scrounging mobile containers to ferry said fuel from the forward supply depots to the fighting units in order to prepare for the offensive of 2000.
It's interesting that the Soviets went a different way. Of course, they apparently had Ploesti available, so why not?
