Russia's artillery is out-shelling Ukraine's, but the intense fighting is wearing out their guns, leading to concerns about whether Russia has enough artillery to sustain its firepower. With around 5,000 artillery pieces in the field and limited production capacity, Russia may face a shortage of gun barrels by 2025. Ukraine has improved its ability to destroy Russian artillery, posing a significant challenge to Russia's military strategy.
