Interesting numbers. One million 155mm artillery rounds?

That is about 3500 a day of combat, roughly on average, likely increasing with time.

Makes you wonder how many 155mm (NATO standard) artillery pieces Ukraine has.

That's delivered, surely not all used yet. But as a rough guess, maybe 3k used per day, so far?

Russian supporters were claiming, what, 60-70k artillery rounds served up by Russia per day? That puts some perspective on it, even allowing for the usual Russian exaggeration.

Granted it's a long frontline (~1100 km or more depending on exactly how defined.)
