Russia's ability to outmatch Ukraine with artillery on battlefield significantly reduced
Sky News UK ^ | 12/6/2024 | Deborah Haynes

Russia's ability to outmatch Ukraine with artillery barrages on the battlefield has significantly reduced to just 1.5 Russian rounds for every Ukrainian shell fired back, Western officials have said.

This compares with Russian forces launching at least five times as many artillery rounds as Ukraine could in the war previously - with the ratio at times much higher even than that.

The Western officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, put the levelling out down to a "wide variety of factors".

These factors include limitations in Russia's defence production lines, difficulties with transporting more rounds to the frontline by rail, and strikes by Ukrainian drones against strategic stockpiles of Russian and North Korean ammunition supplies inside Russia.

In addition, they said Western supplies of ammunition were helping to bolster Ukraine's armoury.

However, vast quantities of Russian glide bombs appear to be compensating for the reduction in the country's advantage on the artillery front, the Western officials signalled.

Excuses. Excuses. Excuses. Putin bombing empty Ukrainian border villages to rubble and claiming the “front is marching west” is just plain silly.

Our tax money is being spent on massive defense bills since we still have a need to defend ourselves from a vicious, ignorant, evil, corrupt violent foe namely your side, Ivan. This is a golden opurtunity to take this evil, vicious, barbaric, rotten regime out so it never bothers the world again.

--- "Russian artillery has decreased to only. 1.5 shells per Ukrainian shell."

Any idea who is doing the counting, and what any verifiable sources are? Please cite a source. Thanks in advance/

“Be mad at Putin. He started the war.”

He sure did and if he isn't finally dealt with he will start another war in the future. Given all the help Ukraine is getting from around the world it looks to me that the only people who really believe in The Russian side are on this board.
