russian forces suffered their highest monthly artillery losses since the start of the full-scale invasion, with Ukrainian forces reportedly destroying or disabling more than 2,000 artillery systems in June 2026. The month also saw record losses in military vehicles and one of the highest losses of air defense systems recorded during the war
Towed artillery is notoriously difficult to completely destroy. Russia had a massive stockpile of rusty heaps to pull spare parts from at the start of the war. One damaged artillery plus spare parts from a few scrapped ones = a new refurbished gun.
Reportedly this is changing with Ukraine able to destroy the barrels with specialized drones or just a larger overall payload to cause more damage.
Ukraine has some artillery they’ve raved about being easy to repair. Takes multiple drone hits, goes for repair and is good again in a few days. It less fancy, manual aim / control, but fancy stuff comes with its downsides if damaged.
Sometimes you just need simple and reliable. Mix it in with the fancier stuff.
