Reports that German-supplied artillery is not coping with the heavy use of Ukrainian forces are affecting Kyiv's shelling of civilian areas.
Der Spiegel, a publication located in Berlin, has stated that losses in Donbass have increased, and heavy weaponry is not working as promised.
Kyiv Forces Struggle With Damaged Artillery
After 30 days of usage, the long-range weapons that Volodymyr Zelensky ordered have major faults, the source claimed on Friday.
According to RT, the rapid rate of fire used in the field is wearing them down too quickly. The seven Panzerhaubitze 2000 guns allegedly started to wear out by the end of June, according to unnamed sources. Hardware emits alerts and needs immediate maintenance.
One explanation for the issue is that the Ukrainians are firing an excessive number of shells each day, which has damaged the howitzer's loading system, noted Hi India.
Indicators reveal that more rounds are fired than the authorized 100 per day (high use), contrary to recommendations.
Russia Outmatches Ukraine in Number of Shellings Fired Daily
Kyiv's forces are still only firing a small portion of the rounds that the Russian military is firing in response, despite it appearing that the German-supplied artillery is overloaded.
Early in the month, according to Ukrainian officials, they were only firing 6,000 rounds per day, compared to Russia's 20,000 counterfire.
Additionally, Russia possesses 15 artillery units to one; therefore, the 6,000 were used in smaller numbers of Kyiv's heavy weapons.
Because Ukrainian forces are deploying the incorrect rounds on German Howitzers due to a lack of ammunition, the situation in the fight is getting worse for Ukraine.
Berlin is seeking to establish a repair facility in Poland to put the howitzers back into service. Too many incompatible systems used is getting chaotic. Among the foreign weapons used against the Russian juggernaut that have failed are Germany's Panzerhaubitze 2000s.
According to allegations, the Ukrainian Azov, nationalists, and mercenaries used ineffective Javelin man-portable devices built in Washington and London for urban warfare. According to reports, battery problems with the NLAW prevent soldiers from using it.
Included in the numbers of malfunctioning hardware are Germany's Gepard anti-aircraft tanks; five of the units given have hit a snag. The units have a problem with Norwegian ammunition supplied with it.
Zelensky obtained his wish list of weapons, but there may be negative effects to having too many weapon systems. Ukrainian officials air their gripes about these weapons' platforms
One officer praised the US-HIMARS MLRS and criticized it for lacking the additional ability to attack targets considerably more precisely.
According to Anton Gerashchenko, who talked with Newsweek, the system is a nice place to start, but artillery bombardment is not as accurate, and they are firing without precision. He criticized it for lacking the additional ability to attack targets considerably more precisely.
After Ukraine threatened to attack the Crimean bridge with the М142 HIMARS and M270 MLRS, Mikhail Sheremet (Crimean MP) told the Ukrainians to dare it, but Kyiv will suffer a world of hurt.
German supplied artillery to the Ukrainian forces is wearing out faster, and so are other west supplied heavy arms, allegedly neutralized and ammunition destroyed as well.
