Russia’s Artillery Is Wearing Out And Blowing Up==

The difference is that Russian art barrels are cheap and plenty stored during soviet times. So they spend them now.

Also there are millions of shells in old soviet depots which usage time expiring soon. They spend them too now.

—”Also there are millions of shells in old soviet depots which usage time expiring soon. “

Then why are the Russians continuing to use worn-out barrels and endangering their own positions?
Experienced artillery crew members are hard to replace.
And they leave the dead and injured on the field and run.

It is not like they pound a few aiming stakes in the ground and the gun does the rest.

Also, why are they purchasing artillery rounds from the Norks and others?
