Ukraine's Artillery Tactics Outsmart Russia's Attacks.

Despite having fewer guns and firing fewer shells, Ukraine appears to be doing more damage than Russia in the ongoing conflict, thanks to the use of small drones for artillery spotting and cheap tablet computers running software like Nettle system to direct fire. Ukraine uses artillery fire as a long-range sniper weapon to pick off individual targets, while Russia has stuck mainly to Soviet doctrine of massed area fires. The trend may see the end of artillery batteries blasting away blindly at map co-ordinates and direct fire becoming increasingly rare as targets are engaged beyond visual range.
