 Russia has almost completely depleted its artillery stockpiles as it has been actively using old-style artillery for the last five months, former Ukrainian security service officer Ivan Stupik told Newsweek. It's not just a cliché, it's not Ukrainian propaganda. It's really a big problem for the Russians. They are using this artillery because they have no other options. Not late Soviet era, but mid-50s and mid-60s, D-30 and the D-20 type of toad artillery, with a maximum range of around 9 to 11 miles. It's a very short distance. It's nothing compared with the archer from Sweden, he said. Referring to the system donated to Ukraine by Stockholm which has a range of more than 30 miles of Russian gunners prove more numerous and well supplied than their Ukrainian enemies in the early stages of the conflict. But as Kiev's arsenal has been bolstered by NATO partners, Russia's God of War has been somewhat muted. Kiev's claimed tally of Russian equipment losses demonstrates the enthusiasm with which Ukrainian artillery and drone teams have hunted Russian big guns, as well as multiple launch rocket systems that perform a similar function at shorter ranges from September to November 2023. Ukraine says it has destroyed 2,272 artillery pieces and another 167 multiple launch rocket systems in the same period in 2022. The figure was 789 artillery pieces and 108 multiple launch rocket systems. The Kremlin's problem is only becoming more pressing as advanced NATO munitions arrive in Ukraine.
