"Russian Roulette": The expert explained the causes of frequent gaps in the artillery artillery (photo)

According to Oleksandr Kovalenko, the military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation is not able to compensate for a large amount of artillery that is destroyed for a month, so the old unsuitable technique is in progress. Almost half of the losses in Russian artillery are due to ruptures of the barrel during a shot, which indicates a strong wear of the Russian Federation. Alexander Kovalenko, a military-political observer of the Information Resistance group, announced this on April 2.

Kovalenko posted a photo of one of the damaged howitzers and explained that artillery guns were often broken due to wear. "What happened to this Russian howitzer D-20? The trunk was torn through the development of its resource, 40 years ago, and the preserved one? Or inside the trunk, a projectile, unfit for use, but the Russian Federation still married troops in the war zone, despite the risks? ” He writes.

According to the expert, now the gaps of the trunks are displayed by the Russian Federation of no less than the fight against the Armed Forces, and they can do nothing with it, because "the production of new artillery in general in Anabiosis, especially when it comes to the smelting of trunks. " Kovalenko notes that the removal from the conservation of artillery units D-20, D-30 and other nomenclature began in Russia in the spring of 2022. A similar situation with ammunition.

The shells, which tried not to remove from storage in the summer and fall of 2022, because of their unsuitable condition, now became the basis for the replenishment of ammunition of Russian military units. The expert notes that only last month the Armed Forces destroyed 290 units of artillery of the enemy. However, the military-industrial complex of Russia is not able to produce even 10% of the amount of destroyed artillery per month.

Now Russia is forced to remove most of weapons from conservation. And if from the spring of 2022 more or less suitable for the use of howitzers and the SAU, now they are more and more in the course of those that belong to the unsuitable. "Yes, the concentration of non -standard art and ammunition in Russian occupation troops only grows," he explains.

According to him, the howitzer, even with the trunk that has produced its resource, can shoot, but it should be understood that its gun is unpredictable. "In addition, if you provide excessive loads on it, it will increase the percentage of unpredictability. For the shells, it is generally hellish lottery -" Russian roulette "with two cartridges in the drum," he summed up.
