The numbers are staggering.

Estimated Pre War Artillery Canons Russia held in storage

Self Propelled Artillery - 4,450 guns
Towed Artillery - 14,631


Russia has burnt through 1/3rd of its SPG's and just over half of it's towed.

I've asked time and time again just how much can Russia endure, we seen peaks of over a 1000 troops a day, large amounts of aircraft and ships destroyed yet still they attacked. It seems we have moved passed any sort of reason with this.

When you think about it the USSR paid for a lot of this stuff, Russia just inherited it and I guess due to that Russia doesn't care how much they loss, it was just laying around for them.

Not sure if anyone has commented on it but what people seem to be missing, North Korea has a large number of these guns so probably able to produce ammo for it. China can also build them and the ammo so may support NK in turn supporting Russia.

They were also in widespread use until the 2010s by various militaries around the world and I believe Ukraine is also using some in this war.

Yes probably NK ammo
 
The rusky heroes ex cons are being returned to their original country. Quite a few murderers. Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
Ukraine has exchanged POW with Rashka.

I am concerned that this attrition rate can only be sustained by the Kremlin concluding their only option for political survival is to fully gear up a war economy which the rest of Europe doesn't seem to be too concerned about considering the laughable state of most of it's major militaries.

They are already apparently spending up to 40% GDP on the war which is crazy. I say full your boots Vlad. It's unlikely they can spend their way to a material increase on what we have seen from Russia so far and whilst sanctions haven't crippled the general economy I suspect the the technology required for modern weaponry is difficult to procure in volume.

He's eating away at the reserves and may only have another 10 months before they are exhausted. I'm optimistic still that Ukraine can continue to inflict strategic losses on the enemy. The aircraft could be a significant moment for Ukraine and they aren't far away.
 
The military loses as a ratio to Ukraine are just as mind blowing as the depth Russian equipment reserves. At least 5-1 in manpower and 12-1 in equipment.

Even Russia can't keep that up forever but they do have the manpower and equipment depth to keep I going for quite a while long yet. More likely economic and political pressure forces them to back down first but given the control and effective propaganda Putin has over the majority of people there who knows when Russia will be forced to stop.

There has to be an inflection point coming, there is only so far existing stockpiles will last before they have to double-down on manufacturing, etc. or find another path. On paper they can continue to produce base spec versions of their tanks and aircraft, etc. just lacking some modern features.

At the rate they are attriting the kit production cannot keep up. Perun's latest video on the matter is very revealing.
 
In other news Canada says it plans to send its stockpile of 80 thousand unguided CRV7 rockets to Ukraine, Ukraine can use from helicopters etc. however of the 80 thousand stockpile, Canada estimates only 10% are fully functional and ready for combat but will send all in case the Ukrainians want to repair them or use them as spare parts for other things
