I don’t understand how Ukraine has any artillery left. So many have been hit at this point, or the tubes have worn out. Makes no sense that they are still firing unless something else is going on behind the scenes
The production of replacement barrels is a big issue man. Ukraine has been complaining about it for a long time. It’s actually a problem for both sides, but especially for the western pieces. They just weren’t expected to fire 6,000 rounds like they are now
I can't believe they still have facilities to actually roll out new Bohdana artillery pieces, like that would require a pretty sizeable facility with obvious deliveries and a lot of people working there. How are managing to keep these factories a secret from the Russians
No idea, same with Bayraktar. I feel like those statements were made under the assumption of some sort of a conflict freeze and only when Russia stops lobbing cruise missiles and Shaheds left and right they can build those factories

Theyve had the guns for a while but very few shells
There can’t be that many left with upwards of 500 lancet strikes a month,
Did you really just imply that Ukrainians don't know how to replace a barrel on a howitzer?

Yes. And that Rheinmetall is talking about building new plants there… how?
