Russian gun tubes need frequent replacement IIRC.

They were not made for use in extended periods of high volumes of fire. They were designed for a high intensity campaign of a few weeks of battle in Germany. Not months of constant bombardment a la WWI.

They do (or did) have lots of replacement tubes in stock. Maybe much less so by now.
