What kind of vehicle is this? Looks very interesting.
You probably spot on with regards to the tyre pressure or clearly the lack thereof.
I imagine that there may not be that many working air lines in destroyed garages and with a very fluid front line and being away from repair shops etc to inflate as they would like (I wonder if BTRs come with an airline in the vehicle kit to self inflate ??

Problem is, the Russicists were fought to a standstill and began to lose ground when the ground was nice and firm over the summer. Things have slowed down now as Autumn weather takes its toll.
According to the many defence analyses i’ve read of late, the winter will likely resemble a partial stalemate, with neither side really gaining much of an advantage.

My money is also on a stalemate.

How fitting. Reverting to WWI tactics to go along with those Mosin-Nagant riles.
