 After the destruction of the Zupark 1M systems, Russia lacks counter-battery weapons. Russia is facing a growing shortage of counter-battery weapons, resulting in challenges on the battlefield. United Kingdom Defence Intelligence reported it. Russian ground forces' survivability relies on effectively detecting Ukrainian artillery and striking against it, often with its forces' own artillery. A key component of this approach is counter-battery radars, which allow commanders to rapidly locate enemy gun lines. Russia is suffering from a worsening shortage of counter-battery radars, especially its modern Zupark 1M. Only a handful of the originally deployed Zupark fleet are likely to remain operational in Ukraine, UK Intelligence said. The UK Intelligence reports indicate that in early July, there was evidence of another destroyed Zupark 1M system near the 58th Combined Arms Army's operational area. Earlier, its commander, Major General Ivan Popov, announced his dismissal, provoked by his complaint about the state of affairs in the army, in particular the lack of counter-battery weapons. The UK Defence Intelligence believes that Popov's complaints once again prove that artillery remains central to Russia's warfare. Though Ukrainian troops continue fighting for breakthroughs in Russian defensive lines, artillery gunners are playing the long game for future artillery supremacy. Counter-battery fire and especially radars that facilitate it with high accuracy are playing a big part in this.
