The head of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine called the number of shells expended by the Armed Forces of Ukraine per day

The Ukrainian armed forces typically use 4 to 7 rounds per day. This was stated by the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Oleksiy Reznikov, comparing the scale of spending ammunition of the Ukrainian and Russian armies.

As for the expenditure of shells by the Russian armed forces, here, according to the head of the Ukrainian military department, we are talking about 20 shells per day. However, according to Reznikov, the difference in the scale of ammunition consumption is due not only to the ability of the RF Armed Forces to fire more heavily on Ukrainian positions. According to the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, the Kiev regime uses artillery pieces produced by NATO countries. Reznikov notes that they are more accurate and they need less ammunition to successfully hit the target.

True, the apology of the Western weapons - a favorite "horse" of Ukrainian officials and military leaders. Apparently, representatives of the Kyiv regime are also performing an advertising function for American and European military-industrial concerns, praising the characteristics of Western weapons.

Reznikov stressed that the Ukrainian army is allegedly more "creative" and "modern", and therefore is able to use less ammunition. However, for some reason, with all the declared "modernity", without Western military assistance, the Ukrainian armed forces would hardly have held out against the Russian army for any long time.

Also, the “thriftiness” of the Ukrainian military is perfectly illustrated by President Volodymyr Zelensky’s constant requests to Western countries for the supply of shells and the reasoning of Western politicians that Europe and the United States are already experiencing “shell hunger” because of Ukraine.

Meanwhile, earlier the European Union decided to transfer 1 million artillery shells to Ukraine. But the countries of the West cannot produce such a quantity of ammunition in less than a year, so the period for the transfer of ammunition will be extended.

I always knew that precision-guided munitions for Hymers are what. This article further strengthened my confidence.

a request from the deputy V.M. Vlasov and the answer:
Dear Evgeny Viktorovich!
On March 28, materials appeared in the media, in which Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that the production of ammunition had increased several times to meet the needs of the Russian troops. It turns out that ammunition is produced in our country and there are more and more of them.
In this regard, I ask you to clarify whether the situation with the provision of ammunition for the fighters of the Wagner PMC has changed? Does the supply of ammunition affect personnel losses?

Evgeny Prigogine's commentary:
«Dear Vasily Maksimovich, Information about the increase in the number of ammunition cannot but inspire. Neither I, nor the fighters of PMC "Wagner" have ever doubted the amazing qualities of the Minister of Defense, as an outstanding builder and production worker. It would be important for us to understand the further fate of these ammunition.
As for losses, there is a formula in war: "every missed shell is one extra zinc coffin." This formula was not invented by us and, unfortunately, we cannot cancel it.
The rest of your request cannot be commented on in the public sphere by me.
Sincerely, Prigogine.

And how do they have a counting system, how many of our shells fired? It's a huge amount of work that needs to be done to calculate this. Storytellers.

[zloybond]

Look at the root - there is an accumulation before the onset. Therefore, savings, fables, versions and fairy tales.

Well, how can I tell you, because every arrival of a shell is at least audible.

And when warehouses are being liquidated, it sounds somehow ... or according to local reports, not a single warehouse has been liquidated ...

[Herman 4223]

You apparently do not quite understand what it is about. It's not about what is heard, but who thinks it. And how the system of this calculation can be adjusted.

[Arkadich]

There is still some truth in his words. It's one thing to shoot "here" and another "about where here" the difference is big and we should not forget about more modern communications, which also plays a big role.
By the way, Prigozhin writes that there are no shells of hunger from the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

By the way, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are actively complaining about Prigozhin for the barbaric use of mines KM-8 "Fringe". They used to say a hundred mines are garbage, but here 2-3 and to Bandera without an interview

[Arkadich]

"Barbaric" use of mines? How is that?

[topol717]

This was corrected in flight and thrown straight into the dugout.

[Arkadich]

So this is its direct purpose, for this it is equipped with a homing head.

Thanks to advanced intelligence and modern NATO communications, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have an advantage over the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

[agond]

You need to be able to create advantages for yourself, if the front line does not change for half a year, then we could use pillboxes (long-term firing points for guns) where possible, they will be clearly visible from the satellite, but you can only hit them with a direct hit, which is 10 and further kilometers is not at all easy and cannot be destroyed with a UAV, the charge is too weak. however, not every artillery shell destroys the bunker.

In the second phase, it was more than noticeable. Now the situation is leveling off both with reconnaissance and with drones. Yes, and with the space constellation (+14 brand new satellites) It is not yet clear with communication. But they write that Ilon put a ban on the use of starlinks on moving carriers over 100 km / h and on "gray" stations

Hundreds of times it has already been explained that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have no advantages. Can Euro-homoses create normal weapons?

If you shoot like that, then 20000 shells a day will not be enough ...

[tsvetahaki]

Unfortunately, the first casualty of the war is true ...
It is interesting not how many they shoot, but how many they hit. Indirectly - how many high-precision projectiles are used by the parties.
How much better intelligence and target designation is the APU more productive than 100500 shells across the field?
The discussion of how many shells have been spent is similar to the discussion of how much money has been spent? With the same result.
