Thank goodness. Now we’ve got the Russians on the run and are turning this thing around. Someone please airlift the Russians compasses and tell them they are retreating in the wrong direction. They need to go East.
To no avail given the Russian have a reported 10-1 artillery advantage, but yeah, not stopping the Russians from striking Ukrainian positions.
I think there may be a need for a re-order. It’s not just how many you use, it’s also how many the enemy destroys before you get to use them.
💥 High-precision long-range sea-based missiles “Caliber” in the area of the village of Radushnoye, Dnepropetrovsk region , destroyed ammunition depots for HIMARS multiple rocket launchers, M777 howitzers, and self-propelled guns 2S7 “Pion” supplied by the United States to Ukraine.

And all those shells are falling on Ukrainian soil.
Our Tax Dollars at work and at waste
How many rounds until the barrel needs to be replaced?

“This is why Ukraine now suffers hundreds of battle deaths every single day. And why, for months, the Russians have suffered very few casualties – at least a 1 to 10 ratio – and quite likely much lower.”
What are they shooting at?
3,000 rounds a day? I saw a report the other day Russian artillery is raining down 60,000 rounds a day. That alone should tell you who is winning this thing.
ya know, even though i’m sittin here playin arm chair commando evaluator, it just appears to me that all the aid and support hasnt done squat do to the fact russia has conquered, what is it now, 70%+ of that country?? just sayin...
How many are hitting residential areas in Donetsk and other settlements?
NATO will happily fight to the last Ukrainian, as they turn Europe’s breadbasket into another $yria.
Just softening up the area for their million man army to retake to south.
3,000 rounds per day, is 150 tons, or about one ton of shells, per gun, per day (plus propellant), or one big truckload per day, for a battery of six guns. A couple of dozen rounds fired per day, per gun. Seems quite a sustainable rate of fire.
I don’t believe estimates of the Russians firing 50K shells per day, on a sustained basis. Maybe they massed fires like that for some peak at some point.
However many tubes/crews they had working, they have been subject to attrition and suppression from counter-battery fire, and now their resupply of ammo is under attack.
I suspect that when you add in the greater accuracy of the Western guns/rounds, Russia’s Artillery dominance of the last phase of the war, is not going to carry forward to the next phase.
Instead, Russian forces will have to adapt to the new Ukrainian deep strike capability, throughout most (if not all) of the occupied territory, outside of Crimea.
this will be a war of attrition. As, in WW2, it will be won by the side that can produce and deliver to the battle field the most munitions.
I think Russian factories will not be able to keep up.
The question in my mind is the resolve of the Ukrainian allies?
14 Russian ammunition depots (50 fuel trucks at one) and other targets destroyed. Russian air defense including S-400s cannot intercept HIMARS missiles.
Russia’s plans are defeated by a few Western weapons: Ukraine holds its own and Europe’s defenses

[Russians said that it was only salt peter storage. Ha, ha! See and listen to the heavy rounds detonating.]
Have a look at this piece of work in light of what we’re seeing in some comments.
