Russian artillery superiority decreases from 8:1 to 3:1, Ukrainian defense official says

On 1 October, Ukraine’s first Deputy Defense Minister Ivan Havryliuk reported a significant reduction in Russia’s artillery advantage on the frontline since the beginning of 2024. On the national telethon, he said the ratio of artillery ammunition usage between Russian and Ukrainian forces has decreased from 8:1 last winter to 3:1 now, as per Liga.

Last winter’s Russian artillery advantage was largely due to factors: the six-month delay of the Ukraine aid funding by the US Congress Republicans, and the EU’s failure to deliver promised 1,000,000 artillery shells. The situation improved after the arrival of US aid and as supplies under the Czech shell initiative began to arrive.

The official emphasized Ukraine’s challenges in competing with Russia in the production of weapons, equipment, and ammunition due to Russia’s larger industrial potential. He highlighted the crucial role of support from foreign partners and coordinated efforts of government structures in addressing this disparity.

Havryliuk stressed the importance of ongoing efforts to establish joint ventures with international partners.

“Our agencies, government, and leadership of Ukraine are conducting significant work towards creating joint enterprises so that, with the help of our partners, we have the ability to produce the entire range of weapons and military equipment we need,” he said.
