Analysis: Comparison between Russian and Ukrainian Artillery powers on the battlefield Ukraine - Russia conflict war 2022 POSTED ON THURSDAY, 28 JULY 2022 16:00 What can Ukraine do facing Russia’s might in the field of artillery? 

What towed guns and self-propelled howitzers does each army operate? 

A tweet posted on July 17 by Shashank Joshi provides a very interesting chart comparing both arsenals.

 To make it short, 

Ukraine is believed to have about 1,000 howitzers and 200 MLRS, both shooting a total of about 4,000-5,000 rounds a day, 

while 

Russia is believed to have about 3,000 howitzers and 1,300 MLRS, both shooting between 20,000 and 50,000 rounds a day. 

Needless to say that the following figures are impossible to check or update, as it is generally the case with OSINT (Open-Source Intelligence).
