Ukraine targets Russian ammo depots to weaken artillery advantage

insider.com

Ukraine is targeting Russian ammunition depots to reduce Russia's artillery advantage. Recent strikes on three depots in September have reportedly decreased the ratio of shells fired by Russia from eight times to three times that of Ukraine. Ukrainian officials claim these attacks have significantly damaged Russian munitions and logistics. However, military experts caution that the exact impact of the strikes is unclear, as it is difficult to assess the amount of ammunition destroyed. Ukraine's ability to conduct these long-range strikes relies on its limited supply of drones and missiles. While these attacks may disrupt Russian operations temporarily, experts suggest that Russia could adapt its storage and defense strategies over time.
