Russia’s Remaining Self Propelled Artillery in Storage, and what it means
Russia’s Remaining Self Propelled Artillery in Storage, and what it means
Video Summary
In this context, we’re examining what Russia has remaining in storage. According to recent satellite imagery, the number of self-propelled artillery pieces has significantly declined since the start of the war. From over 2,500 pieces in 2021, the number has dropped to around 2,565, a 40% decline. The majority of the losses have been from the 94th and 80th arsenals, with the 94th being the largest, accounting for over half of the total arsenal.
The older systems, like the 2s1, have declined less than the newer systems, such as the 2s9. This could indicate that these older systems are in worse shape. The rate of decline varies between systems, with some, like the 2s1, experiencing a steady decline, while others, like the 2s4, 5, and 7, saw an initial drop but have since slowed.
The complexity of the situation is evident, with factors such as supply chain issues, ammunition shortages, and backlogs in repairing and overhauling units contributing to the decline. One certainty is that the numbers are decreasing and will not last forever.
