British broadcaster Sky News reports, citing unnamed Western officials , that Russia's advantage in artillery power on the battlefield has recently declined significantly.
According to the data cited by the author of the publication, now for every artillery projectile fired by the Ukrainian military, there are on average 1.5 Russian projectiles. At the same time, earlier Russian troops fired five times as many shells, and in some cases this ratio was even higher.
According to Sky News interlocutors, the artillery advantage of the Russian army is declining for many reasons, including the limited capabilities of Russian military factories, difficulties with rail transport of ammunition to the front, as well as attacks by Ukrainian drones on warehouses with Russian and North Korean shells.< /p>
In addition, according to sources, Ukraine's Western allies have managed to secure a significant amount of ammunition for the Ukrainian armed forces.
At the same time, the publication says that Russia compensates for the reduced amount of artillery ammunition with a large number of planning bombs, the use of which on the front brings "devastating results".
In recent months, Russia continues its offensive and gradually conquers new territories, although this comes at a huge cost to its army, the authors of the publication note. The Ukrainian military told journalists from Western media, including the BBC, that the Russian army now has a significant advantage in manpower and weapons, forcing the Ukrainian armed forces to retreat.
