TL;DR Summary
Russia is heavily relying on artillery to compensate for its degraded abilities in offensives against Ukrainian fighters due to a lack of airpower, ground assault capabilities, and poor targeting abilities. However, Russia's scarce supplies of artillery ammunition will undermine this tactic. Both Russian and Ukrainian troops are facing critical ammunition shortages, but Ukrainian forces are more accurate in their targeting and taking defensive positions in many areas that typically use up less artillery.
