 Ukraine targets Russia's big guns to blast a path forward. Kyiv's military has honed its systems for finding and destroying Russian artillery, but Russia is also adapting according to the Wall Street Journal. It is noted that the operation is an example of how Ukraine has honed its system of identifying and destroying Russian artillery, giving its armed forces an important advantage as they try to push forward and retake occupied land. With some 70% of Ukrainian compact casualties resulting from artillery strikes, according to a recent study published in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons, taking Russian guns out of the fight saves Ukrainian lives. In this contest, Ukraine has an advantage in the accuracy of its artillery aided by Western equipment and Ukrainian ingenuity. That has helped Kyiv's forces to gain near parity in a field where Russia previously had an edge. According to soldiers on the front line, Russia is also improving, Ukrainian soldiers say by using drones to guide its big guns. Ukraine has fewer than a dozen counter-battery radars and they are a particularly high-value target. Soldiers limit their use to avoid exposure, but when switched on, they emit radio waves that are easy to detect by Russia's anti-radiation missiles. The Wall Street Journal added, it is said that if the radar is spotted, operators can see on the computer that its signal has been detected. They then decide whether to move location or go dark, deactivating the signal and temporarily leaving the base, Ukrainian army officers said. It is only at night that they travel out to radar positions or rotate personnel there.
