Sounds like someone has their intelligence network working overtime..... But hey, Ukraine is just a failed, corrupt nation, not worthy of international assistance in their time of need.

Sounds like they got that one right!

Funny how the population in an illegally occupied territory might be inclined to pass info along to their legitimate countrymen...

U.S. Army reviving production of iconic war weapon

War, the ultimate crucible, has a curious way of resurrecting the relics of the past. The M777 howitzer, once relegated to dusty museum dioramas, is experiencing a glorious rebirth thanks to its unexpected heroics in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Its battlefield performance has been nothing short

Majority of German Leopard 2 Tanks Not Working in Ukraine

Only a “very small number” of modern battle tanks provided to Ukraine from Germany are still in use, a Bundestag parliamentarian has revealed.

Interesting.

Of course Germany has so few tanks left anyhow (even before giving some to Ukraine), they would make little difference in a war.

But who would they fight anyway?

From the article : Breitbart
The situation is also emblematic of the poor state of Germany’s defense industry, which has been woefully underfunded for decades despite protestations from figures such as former President Donald Trump, who long called upon Berlin to meet its NATO defense spending requirements.

Artillery shells expended per day. Ukraine is running low on ammo again. Ally manufacturers are running at capacity, which is not enough.

They probably are running lower/conserving shells however another large factor is the increased use of artillery during the summer offensive and the decreased need during the relatively slower pace of war right now.

Any chance you saw a winter 2022/23 chart?

Conserving and smartly using their resources has been something Ukraine has been very good at. While russia has destroyed its own units in frontal attack after frontal attack, Ukraine has been much more conservative and has relied on manipulating the circumstances of the battle which has both limited major losses and slowed the pace of progress.


I did find this, but its not very detailed...

With artillery shells running low, Ukrainian troops on the front lines are improvising and using explosive drones to try to hold the Russians back.

“We’re increasingly using FPV drones because we have a lack of shells,” said Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine’s minister of digital transformation. But, he added, “drones can’t replace artillery completely.”

With additional aid packages from the U.S. and the European Union stalled, Ukrainian forces are running short on ammunition, money and manpower. Many brigades are depleted from the summer counteroffensive, which failed to make a significant breakthrough.

Now, the Ukrainians are trying to make do until more resources arrive. As in the first weeks of the war—before Western weapons flooded into the country—that short-handedness has led to unorthodox tactics and MacGyvered weapons to plug holes, such as substituting FPV drones for artillery fire.

The drones can’t fly as far or fast as artillery. They can’t carry as much explosive, or blast through a concrete wall. But at just a few hundred dollars each, the drones cost far less than artillery shells and are much easier to produce—volunteers buy drones from commercial vendors and deliver them to the soldiers, who rig them with explosives.

Bradley vs T-90M



I don't doubt for a second the Bradley crew got a little lucky, but good equipment and good training was a HUGE factor.

Been seeing similar reports for months now, if it's all propaganda, who ever is behind it is not only very good, but tireless and consistent.
