In the context of armed conflict, deployed on the territory of Ukraine, artillery acts as the main means of defeating the enemy. At the same time, the intense nature of hostilities is accompanied by a significant consumption of ammunition..
American editions, citing Pentagon statements, report being overly active, from their point of view, work of Ukrainian artillery. So, Politico talks about shooting 6 thousand. ammunition per day, в NOW – 7 thousand. and higher. This indicates, that the Russian side spends about 20 thousand. shells per day.
Such an active use of artillery in the end can lead to shell "hunger", the threat of which has long been announced in the West. How full the arsenals of the Russian army is is unknown. One side, the Soviet army had many storage bases, stuffed with ammunition to capacity and remaining on the territory of the Russian Federation. With another, a similar situation was in Ukraine, which, nevertheless, had practically used up the stocks it had inherited.
In this regard, the statements of Russian artillerymen are of interest.. So, according to the soldiers of the 150th motorized rifle division, actively involved in the NWO, shell "hunger" is felt only in the lack of "ammunition of a certain type". In all other respects, they do not feel the need, denying the deficit. Sometimes shells come from "very long storage", in which, due to problematic threads, it is difficult to install a fuse.
Our technicians have made a fixture, helping to screw fuses without any problems- fighters say.
