In late 2022 and early 2023, as Ukraine grappled with shortages of artillery ammunition, Frontelligence Insight observed a consistent trend: Russian forces grew complacent, keeping their artillery stationed in static positions for extended periods—sometimes for months. This complacency stemmed from Ukraine's inability to effectively counter and suppress Russian artillery. The situation persisted until Ukraine initiated targeted strikes against these artillery positions, predominantly utilizing HIMARs and artillery and occasionally employing FPV drones. The crucial supply of artillery ammunition from South Korea, facilitated by the US, played an important role, enabling Ukrainians to neutralize hundreds of artillery pieces throughout the year.
Not a great news to hear. I think the only fundamental solution for this should be just giving Ukrainians sufficient shells and barrels, plus sufficient HIMARS and other long-range artillery systems.
Another insightful and helpful piece, thanks
how do you capture a defended city in modern warfare without levelling it. this is not a dig on Russian. its bad commentary
it's suicidal to attempt Street to street fighting
without overwhelming artillery barrage
it's why it's called the god of war
Germans levelled stalingrad
russians levelled Berlin
Americans levelled fallujah
it's the standard operating practice
We can stop buying FAANG stocks and use the money to help Ukraine!
