Ukraine's strikes on Russian arsenals and military depots helped improve the situation with shells at the front. As a result, Russia's advantage in ammunition has diminished, according to a source in the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
According to the source, on certain sections of the frontline, the current ratio of ammunition usage ranges from 1:1.5 to 1:3. The destruction of Russian arsenals significantly reduced the enemy's advantage at the front.
Additionally, a source in the General Staff noted that drones of various types now account for 50% of the strikes on the battlefield.
Ammunition for Ukraine
At the beginning of 2024, Ukraine faced a significant shortage of shells, which was caused by the suspension of US aid due to a delay in funding in Congress.
However, the situation with artillery improved over time. By June, sources reported that the gap in the number of shots between Ukraine and Russia had narrowed from 1:7 to 1:3.
