Using satellite imagery, I was able to identify each individual type of artillery piece, including self-propelled and towed variants. The 94th base, for instance, had dropped 950 self-propelled and 1,300 towed artillery pieces, while the 80th base had lost a significant number of both types. The 715th base, on the other hand, had seen a dramatic decline, with only 19 self-propelled and 289 towed pieces remaining.

The 744th base, which is one of the smaller bases, had lost 12 self-propelled and 275 towed artillery pieces. The remaining bases, which are smaller and located in remote areas, were harder to access, making it more challenging to obtain recent imagery. I had to rely on older images and lower-resolution satellite data to estimate the number of artillery pieces remaining at these bases.

The grand total, according to my estimates, is that Russia has 2,961 self-propelled and 6,786 towed artillery pieces remaining. However, it’s important to note that these numbers only account for artillery in storage and not in active service. When considering both, the actual number of artillery pieces Russia has available is likely much higher.

Russia’s inventory is declining rapidly, with self-propelled artillery pieces being withdrawn at a faster rate than towed pieces. If the current rate of decline continues, Russia will exhaust its self-propelled inventory in approximately 3 years and 10 months, while towed artillery will last about 1 year and 6 months. However, this projection is based on the assumption that Russia will continue to withdraw artillery at the same rate, without considering other factors that might affect the available inventory.
