Yeah. Government-owned companies producing shells that probably wouldn’t pass QC in “the west”, and paying employees a pittance in comparison. Also at least based on aerial photos, Russians seem to use contact fuzes a lot (you can see the difference from the “splash” patterns) which are a lot cheaper than airburst / multifunction fuzes, but admittedly those might well have been old Soviet stock and their new production could well be more modern.
Still, regardless of the fuze used it’s no surprise that Russian production is cheaper.
no, it’s just that 20-40+ tubes are eliminated DAILY. which is absolutely bonkers. They’re losing a division of artillery every couple weeks.
you do realize it takes meatsacks to run the guns right?
and while you may be able to refurb some of the damaged tubes, the meatsacks are gone and you’re going to have to train new ones?
It’s not like literally all Russian artillery gets destroyed before firing off a single shot. Fuzing absolutely does make a difference
no, it’s like, mathematically obvious, that literally all russian arty gets destroyed before firing off their second or third salvos, you know, the shots ‘fire for effect’ cover, the ones that matter?
If you knew squat about field artillery you’d fucking know the first few rounds always require adjustment.
You’d also understand shoot and scoot. Apparently all these concepts are new to you.

I heard they’re fighting with shovels and washing machines!
considering the rate at which UA is destroying russian tube arty I can’t imagine the fuzing will make much difference in the war.
what an absolute shit show.
