Ukraine's military reports that Russian forces have lost nearly 10,000 artillery systems and 980 multiple launch rocket systems since the start of the war, with the rate of losses suggesting that Russia may reach these grim milestones in the coming weeks. Both sides have suffered significant artillery losses, with the war depleting NATO's ammunition stockpiles and constraining Ukraine's operations. In response, NATO countries have committed to increasing production of artillery rounds to replenish stockpiles and support Ukraine.
Satellite imagery suggests that Russia has removed around half of its artillery from storage bases since the start of the Ukraine invasion, indicating a high rate of attrition of equipment.
