The Russian army is currently losing its advantage over the Armed Forces of Ukraine in artillery shells. Previously, the occupiers outnumbered the Ukrainian military by five to one in this weaponry.

This was stated on TV by the spokesman for the Khortytsia Military District Nazar Voloshyn. Today, in various directions, the ratio in favor of the enemy in the use of artillery shells is approximately one and a half to one, and in some areas it reaches one to three.

“At the beginning of the war, the ratio of shells was about five to one in favor of Russia. Now, in different directions, the enemy’s advantage in the use of artillery shells is about one and a half to one, and in some – one to three. This allows the enemy to hit the squares with artillery while our artillery guns send everything and every artillery shell is on target,” Voloshin said.

According to him, recently the Russians have been losing their advantage in artillery, but are compensating for this with air strikes and dropping aerial bombs.

Recall that in the war against Ukraine, Russian troops continue to suffer significant losses in manpower in order to achieve tactical successes on the front in the western part of the Donetsk region. The aggressor loses approximately 53 soldiers for every square kilometer of captured Ukrainian territory, all this destroys the viability of the Russian economy.

Analysts at the Institute for the Study of War believe that Russia’s limited manpower reserve is unlikely to be able to sustain this level of casualties in the medium term.

As OBOZ.UA reported, the losses of the Russian army during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine on the morning of December 10 reached almost 756 thousand people. Against this background, the Russian Federation stated that the aggressor state “is close to achieving the goals of the SVO.”

  1. Mafia land’s artillery problem became obvious months ago already when they started pulling out old Soviet-era towed artillery from storage and by welding together strange combinations of vehicles and naval weapons.
    We can thank in larger part to Ukraine’s effective drones for this development. A special thank you to everyone who donated for drones!
    But, I also think that another weapon that shares in large part to this success are superior Western artillery and counter battery radar systems. Western artillery is both further reaching and more accurate, giving it a decisive advantage when you have a slugfest between the two types of artillery. Being able to shoot farther and with higher accuracy makes it possible to come out on top almost all the time.
