They are running out of tanks and afvs. The only reason they haven't is they're spending their Soviet inheritance. It's a nice trick but you can only use it once. If you want to learn more about it look at the recent loss data it's a lot of older Soviet era rolling stock. And if you cut it up month by month you can see it's getting older and older. As far as artillery shells if they weren't running out why would they bought all that s*** from North Korea?

The reason why Russia can produce 3million artillery shells per year is because they didn't charge 90k USD for a bag for bushings.

They are two very different system, so suggesting that one replaces the other doesn't make much sense. One 155mm artillery projectile costs ~$1000, maybe up to $3000. A ballistic precision rocket, by comparison, is easily $100k+. While the latter is better in basically every way, it's essentially a quality vs quantity question, and sometimes the extra quality isn't so important, so you just want extreme quantities. So, they serve very different strategic purposes.

It's about the land that international corporations have bought. from German banks to US corporations. Everyone has their fingers on Ukrainian soil and that's why the war is not over. The West doesn't want to lose its land. and the Ukrainian farmers are dying at the front. And then another farm can be bought up, they come home when they can, and work as slaves for western companies for 160 euros. Hurrah , Through complicated association agreements, the crème de la crème of the world's largest capital owners find themselves as lenders to the Ukrainian agricultural giants. These include Vanguard Group, Goldman Sachs, Banque National de Paris, Kopernik Global Investors, Norges Bank Investment and a number of others. As creditors of “Kernel Holding”, the Danish banking group ING Bank, the Landesbank Baden-Württemberg and the Austrian Raiffeisen secure influence on crop yields. Behind “UkrLandFarming”, which has to service external loans worth an estimated $1.6 billion, are the US fund Gramercy LLC, the Export-Import Bank of the USA and Deutsche Bank.[12] The Ukrainian fields are therefore at the mercy of the international network of capital managers via lease agreements and lenders. The recent history of the sell-off of Ukrainian black earth soils can be impressively demonstrated using the example of the US private equity fund “NCH Capital”. Founded in 1993 by George Rohr and Moris Tabacinic, the two collected well-capitalized investors for Ukrainian and Russian agricultural goods and benefited early on from the privatization rush after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The money flowed to tax havens such as Cyprus and the Cayman Islands via offshore companies. “NCH Capital” played a key role in land reform in Ukraine when its CEO George Rohr attended high-level meetings between the Ukrainian President and the US Secretary of Commerce in 2015, a year after Maidan. These ultimately led to Kiev agreeing to the IMF reform plan, which subsequently led to the liberalization of the land market.[13] To secure its business, “NCH Capital” has some of the most important pension funds in the USA behind it, which are invested in the company. Across industries, these include the funds of Dow Chemicals, General Electric, Lockheed Martin, Merseyside, Honeywell International, Harvard University, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and many others.[14] They all benefit from the fertility of Ukrainian land.and that is the truth, the Ukrainians are not dying for freedom but for western corporations who are afraid of losing their ground,,,thanks for this democracy hurrah hurraaa,, ,

The accuracy modern artillery means that what took hundreds of rounds to achieve in ww1 can be done with a a time on target salvo of 4 or 5 rounds from a modern gun. Advances in targeting, fusing, and the radar analysis of actual trajectory of shells fired to compare them to the calculated trajectory, which can be corrected before the next round is fired to zero in, and result in 6 rounds fired in less than a minute all arriving within a few feet of the target. And the gun that fired them has already scooted away to avoid counterbatterry fire. I should clarify, that is what MODERN artillery can do. Much of Russia's vaunted artillery is literally ww1 and ww2 era scrap metal that can't hit the broad side of a barn, from INSIDE the barn. The Russians still have to fire hundreds of rounds to eventually blunder into their target, which is why despite having access to all those vaunted russian stockpiles, the Ukrainians are still thumbing their noses and mooning the Russians while shredding their columns when they try and advance, those brave russian meat puppets. LMAO.

To put this in perspective, the First World War used between 900 million and 1.2 billion rounds of artillery ammunition. Most of the artillery used during that war was also much larger than modern artillery, as they did not have jdams/fabs for delivery of large rounds with enough capacity to destroy fortifications.

I see several references to "gunpowder" here. Gunpowder, sometimes called black powder, is a propellant made from charcoal, sulfur, and potassium nitrate (saltpeter). Except for muzzle loader hobbyists, its use in firearms is largely obsolete because it makes big clouds of smoke, leaves a lot of residue in the weapon, is prone to failure under damp conditions, and does not have the power of more modern propellants. What Russia is using is guncotton, or more technically, cellulose nitrate. It's made by reacting cleaned and finely chopped cotton (cotton pulp, often made from waste fibers from textile thread spinning) with a mixture of sulfuric and nitric acid, followed by a careful cleaning process to remove all traces of residual acid. It is critical that the fibers be broken down and carefully cleaned so that they are no longer hollow because acid trapped in the fibers or other impurities make the product inconsistent and unstable. That's why there are problems with the shells from North Korea; they obviously have poor process quality control (what do you expect from slave labor, anyway?). Guncotton was discovered in 1832, reportedly by accident when a chemist named Braconnet used cotton to wipe up a nitric acid spill and put it on the hearth to dry, only to be startled later when it spontaneously exploded. It took several decades to develop a safe and reliable production process. (Source: Encyclopedia Americana, 1941 edition, except for the details of the discovery; I don't recall where I read that.)

One of the other factors is funny. Russia uses a LOT of D-30 artilery which is 122mm shells, while they have a shorter range and less explosive power overall they also take 22kg of material to make but the NATO 155mm is 45kg of material. So they literally can make two shells from the same material. They're easier to handle and assemble, ship, and load into the weapons.

I saw a few vids of them talking about the NK shells floating around a while ago. This might be a situation to more seriously consider the anecdotal soldiers videos on situation, instead of Opp-State intelligence.

Well maybe the Dudayev and his gang should have thought about it before proceeding to commit suicide for their nation with their decisions. Wow such men fighting the russians by engaging in urban warfare using their own people as meat shields then crying when the russians stoped playing their little games.

Ngl, that Uralvagonzavod logo is dope as hell.

The benefit of being targeted by massive propaganda calling you liars and crazy people, is that you can simply report the truth in your announcements and your people understand it's the truth, while your enemies have convinced themselves it's all lies. Unintended consequences strike again.

if the russian mod is correct about the increase then Russia made 1.2 million rounds a year for like 14 years so they hypothetically should have like 12m in stock but at the start of the war they were using 50-100k rounds per day

its definitely important to note that Russia is spending nearly 6% of its GDP on the military, if the US were to do the same we would nearly double our defense budget which currently is sitting at 3.45% of GDP. if we were to do the same our military budget would be nearly the same as the entire GDP of Russia.

America has always fought countries that can't shoot down planes, so they pound enemy positions with bombs from above. Russia is fighting a whole different enemy - 30+ countries with air defense, fighter jets, drones, tanks, missiles, etc. They need artillery shells more.

Not sure on what basis you write this. When the US went to Iraq for the liberation of Kuwait in 1991, the Iraqi airspace was the most heavily defended sky in the world. It took 1 month for the aair compaign and almost no casualties to defeat the threat. The ground offensive took 4 days. Russia is currently engaging NATO's old equipment. And, to be honest, they barely received anything in the last several months

One thing not mentioned in this video is the lack of skilled manufacturing work force in the west, with the exception of Germany( their apprenticeship programs were great). 30+ years of outsourcing manufacturing have greatly reduce the number of workers that have the skills to do such work, and that is specialty true for the young workers. It would take at least a generation, if effort is made and there is intensives to address this issue. My dad work all his life as tool and die maker and he is, with his technical high school diploma from Eastern Europe, as good as me(Math and Computer science major) at trigonometry. He was using it in his work all day long. How many young people who may contemplate working in a factory have that level of education nowadays?

Veteran of the 1st Gulf War so can testify to the reliance on SF and Air Power early on to discourage Iraq from invading Saudi Arabia. Getting Naval, Air Power and SF units to remote battlefields takes days vs tanks, artillery etc which can take months. This put a reduced focus on US artillery capabilities and improvement.

True. While fighting third world countries with limited ability to destroy those things it's the way to go. In a long drawn out war of superpowers where those very expensive slow to produced resources start vanishing quickly........you're in a different ball game. Not to mention air power is great for blowing things up but you MUST occupy ground to control it. Air power doesn't do that.

Pretty much true. During the Soviet times one of the artillerys main mission was to suprres ATGM fire, so they needed fire saturation. In order to support the tanks. Because while artillery was an important role, during Soviet times the tank was still considers the mayor force weapon. All other forces support the tanks, unlike in NATO thinking where infantry has a myth status. Artillery is just a better support arms than infantry becaouse of it's range and ability to quickly concentrates fires.
