Would Soviet logistics in Norway fail as they did in Ukraine?

Would a Soviet attack through northern Norway suffer logistics failures like those seen in the later war in Ukraine?

Not necessarily to the same degree. Corruption existed in 1980, but leaders such as Gorshkov tolerated it only while equipment and supplies were still delivered and repeatedly checked to work.

Soviet corruption would affect the campaign, though the 1980 force should not be treated as identical to a much later Russian one. Its discipline is compared to the Royal Navy of Samuel Pepys: private gain might be tolerated within limits if stores still arrived and systems functioned. Regular testing made failure to deliver dangerous for those responsible. The severe geography of northern Norway remains, but the same level of institutional decay cannot simply be projected forty years backward.
