When they weren't suffering shell hunger they engineered what the russians called an artillery genocide. At best, the russians have a 2-1 numerical advantage in artillery pieces, assuming everything russia has listed actually exists and is functional. It started out worse, the russians numerical advantage hasn't worked out for them.
The us isn't actually the key piece on this one, because most of their arty, 2/3rds or 3/4s I can't recall offhand, is soviet standard. We don't have that stuff. We don't make that stuff. We don't use that stuff. We play war daddy, going around the world buying it up...but people have been telling us no. What they need from us are patriots and short range air defense...which won't help with the arty situation, but it would put a damper on the terror attacks and give ukrainian mechanized forces a way to advance in the face of k series helicopters.
