Ukrainian artillery sometimes outnumbers Russian artillery.
In certain areas, the Ukrainian Defense Forces were able to achieve three-fold superiority over the army of the aggressor country in artillery. Although even at the beginning of a full-scale invasion, the enemy had an advantage in artillery of about five to one. The press secretary of the operational-strategic group of troops “Khortitsa” Nazar Voloshin said this on December 13 during a telethon.
Now, in some areas, the advantage in the use of artillery shells and artillery on our side is 1.5 to 1 or even 3 to 1, he noted.
According to Voloshin, the Russian army uses artillery in large squares, and Ukrainian gunners send each shell to the target. It is thanks to the skill of the Ukrainian “Gods of War” that the invaders lose their advantage in artillery.
The speaker of the OSUV “Khortitsa” emphasized that the occupiers are trying to compensate for the lack of artillery by using more KABs. And the number of artillery shells and guided bombs used depends on the intensity of combat operations in each individual direction.
Let us recall that in November, the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, said that the EU countries were unable to supply Ukraine with the promised million shells by the spring of 2024, but had already delivered more than 980 thousand artillery shells. And the promised million ammunition will arrive before the end of this year.
