Interesting article. I had not thought of using tubed artillery as a means to suppress air defense. I wonder what percentage of Russian air defense is within range of 155mm rounds.

If Russia is smart, none.

Maybe, but that does reduce their overall effectiveness doesn’t it?

Depends on multiple factors. Maybe.

Thank you for informing us.

It does seem though that given how long the front is and how many troops and equipment the Russians have that the number of these artillery systems remains quite small. Why does it take so long to build them?

Thanks for the update and the scenario. Let’s use that model more, pay for industrial capacity somewhere.

Shoot and move, before they track your location.

Europe needs to build on this example of efficient, cooperative production of material for Ukraine to make up for losses of US material.

When Ukraine is building its own Bohdana 155mm SPGs at a rate of one every day, this delivery of 16 units over more months is rather underwhelming.

Yes, but every little bit help and if the Zusannah-2 have different capabilities they can be used for different purposes.
