That's some great comedy. So, according to that story, the Russians are using old dilapidated equipment but they are still kicking the Ukrainian army's butt? Just yesterday, Zelensky upped his daily losses to between 150 to 200 soldiers per day from the previous totals on June 6th of 60 to 100 per day.

So if we are to take that story at face value, it means that old crap equipment is all Russia needs to wipe out the Ukrainian forces. .

Does that sound like "winning" to you?

That old equipment is sure causing an uproar, eh?

Growing concerns about Russian artillery superiority: ISW

The Institute for the Study of War says Ukraine is making more urgent requests for sophisticated Western weaponry as a result of concerns about Russia’s superiority in artillery.

It cites a senior military intelligence official saying that Russian troops have 10 to 15 artillery pieces for every one held by Ukrainian forces.

“Considering the current prevalence of protracted positional battles, especially in the Severodonetsk- Lysychansk area, Ukrainian forces urgently need fresh supplies of artillery systems,” ISW said in its latest update on the war. “As Ukrainian forces use the last of their stocks of Soviet-era weapon systems and munitions, they will require consistent Western support to transition to new supply chains of ammunition and artillery systems. Effective artillery will be increasingly decisive in the largely static fighting in eastern Ukraine.”

Ukrainian Governor says:

“Russia’s army is more powerful, they have a lot of artillery and ammo.."

‘Out of ammo’ as southern battle rages
.
In the Mykolaiv region near the front line in the south, the regional governor says there is an urgent need for international military assistance.

“Russia’s army is more powerful, they have a lot of artillery and ammo. For now, this is a war of artillery… and we are out of ammo,” Vitaliy Kim said.

“The help of Europe and America is very, very important.”
