61 artillery systems :-)
Slava Ukraini!
9008 out of 5.689 they had beginning of the war according to minusrus. Minusrus has a bit different categories, but in general it seems like all they have left is barrels from N-Korea and what they can produce. No matter how that’s counted, it has to have an impact on what Russia can do on the field. I haven’t checked on what kinds of amounts they can produce, but I heavily doubt it’s 60/day.
Russia has access to massive amounts of old Soviet artillery storage. Before the war it was 12345 towed and 5093 self propelled, but that includes once which can not be fixed. Unfortunatly satellite imagry is unable to show that. However half a year ago they were already down to 7500 towed and 4408 self propelled. Given that that was half a year ago, it propably is worse today and a lot of what is left is propably to bad to be fixed.
The more I look at it, the more Russia is struggling to keep the war going. If the US would continue its support I would be pretty sure Ukraine is going to win.
And if the west in general would stop fearing for the ghost of soviet union or something and give them what they need in quantities that they need. I of course understand that it’s a massively complex problem logistically, financially and even more so politically, but holding back long range missiles and things like that is just bullshit.
And besides US support, EU (and Europe in general) has to get their shit together with manufacturing and in general being ready once Russia eventually digs itself out of the hole it’s been digging itself in. Currently things seem to move in that direction in general, but who knows what’ll happen in a year or 5.
Absolutely. This is so annoying when our (European) politicians say they won’t compromise our own defense capabilities.
A lot of those capabilities are to protect against Russia, so we could easily give Ukraine more, because Russia is already weakened by the war, giving Ukraine more and better weapons would weaken Russia even more.
As a Finn I have to disagree with this. I’m glad that our military has prepared and keep doing so and not just throw anything out of the door towards Ukraine as it’s still a possibility we’ll need those toys. Estonia and Poland seem to have the same strategy more or less. But anything directly west from Ukraine (Germany and France mainly) could just empty their warehouses and it’d give the best value out of their hardware they’ll ever get. Stop the threat from the east and not spend a drop of domestic blood while doing it.
The military capabilities of specially EU countries is a poor joke right now. Not even the whole union can produce enough ammunition for a single (long and shattered) battlefield. If the Soviet Union in its former glory was still a thing they’d wipe the whole Europe and there’s nothing we could do about it without USA and even with them it would be difficult due to logistics. Of course in that case I suppose Europe would be better prepared as well, but right now it doesn’t look good. Hopefully this improves in the very near future.
