It is widely acknowledged that the conflict in Ukraine has become a war of attrition fought to a very great degree with artillery, the proverbial “king of the battlefield”, returned to prominence.
Throughout the conflict Russia has enjoyed a large artillery arsenal overmatch, sometimes 9 to 1 over the Kiev regime.
At times up to 80-90% of Ukrainian casualties have resulted from artillery blasts and shrapnel.
A big part of an artillery war are static positional battles and artillery duels, with big artillery gun crews playing a cat and mouse game of firing at great distance, moving position, hunting each other down and slugging it out with thunderous detonations across the trench and corpse-littered battlefield wastelands.
