@AWistfulNihilist@tal What’s good to keep in mind is that Russian (actually: Soviet) artillery is extremely imprecise.
If you want to hit a specific target using Russian-made artillery, you need to shoot, on average, about 10 times as many shots as you would with western artillery. The Russian artillery is just as good as the western one when your goal is to obliterate everything in a large area, but if you’ve got a specific target, the 10x multiplier does apply!
So, the Russia is very capable of destroying cities with its artillery, but that won’t win you any wars. If you want to compare Russian ammo production capacity in terms of how many enemy military objects they are able to destroy, you need to divide the Russian production numbers by ten.
It’s incredibly precise. They leveled Gaza by being very precise with their target selection and aim. They were even picking (and hitting) specific rooms in schools and hospitals as a means to justify the whole “they’re using human shields, we’re still minimizing harm” crap. I wish I was fuckin joking when I say that the precision of western artillery has helped Israel deny shit.
