Something Strange Is Happening To Russian Artillery On The Frontline

The situation is mirrored.

Over the course of a full-scale war, the pattern of Russian artillery losses has changed significantly, which probably indirectly reflects the exhaustion of modern artillery systems. Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) analyst Richard Vereker, noted unian.net.

He noted that at the beginning of the war, self-propelled artillery systems accounted for the bulk of Russian artillery losses. However, in 2025, the situation has mirrored, and now about 2/3 of Russian artillery losses are attributed to towed guns.

Another transformation is related to the caliber of these guns. At the beginning of the war, about 2/3 of the losses accounted for the main artillery caliber of the Russian army - 152 mm. Now, however, it accounts for only 11% of the total number of guns lost, while the rest are mostly 122 mm artillery pieces.

Vereker notes that visually verified losses do not necessarily accurately reflect the proportions in which the Russians use different types of guns. However, in the absence of other verified data, this is still the best available indicator of what the Russians are fighting with today.
