1
00:00:00,540 --> 00:00:02,880
Good shot... Meaningful.
2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:08,460
What happened to this Russian howitzer D-20
that I showed in more detail in one of my
3
00:00:08,460 --> 00:00:14,400
previous videos? Did the barrel rupture due to
reaching the end of its lifespan 40 years ago?
4
00:00:15,060 --> 00:00:18,180
Or did a non-functional projectile
explode inside the barrel,
5
00:00:18,180 --> 00:00:22,020
which Russia still supplies to the
conflict zone despite the risks?
6
00:00:22,860 --> 00:00:28,140
In fact, barrel bursts are now no less a cause of
Russian artillery being taken out of action than
7
00:00:28,140 --> 00:00:34,560
the AFU's anti-battery warfare. And all because
of the wear and tear and unserviceability of the
8
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:39,840
ammunition. But the enemy can do nothing about
it, because the production of shells is slow...
9
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:46,260
Production of new artillery is in complete stasis,
especially when it comes to smelting barrels.
10
00:00:46,860 --> 00:00:50,340
Withdrawal of D-20, D-30 artillery from storage
11
00:00:50,340 --> 00:00:54,240
and other nomenclature started in
Russia back in the spring of 2022.
12
00:00:54,900 --> 00:01:01,080
In just the past month, the Armed Forces of
Ukraine destroyed 290 pieces of Russian artillery
13
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:05,400
The military-industrial complex of the
occupiers is not capable of producing
14
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:10,260
even 10% of this amount of destroyed artillery
per month, but it can ensure the unstorage.
15
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:15,480
Starting from the spring of 2022,
relatively usable howitzers and
16
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,380
self-propelled artillery were
taken out of storage. And now,
17
00:01:19,380 --> 00:01:23,700
more and more of those that are unsuitable
for use are appearing on the battlefield.
18
00:01:24,660 --> 00:01:27,720
The situation with ammunition is similar.
19
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,920
Those rounds, which were tried not to be
removed from storage in the summer and
20
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:37,080
fall of 2022 because of their condition, are now
the main replenishment of the units' ammunition.
21
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:43,740
Thus, the concentration of substandard artillery
and ammunition with the enemy is only growing.
22
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:50,220
Yes, a howitzer, even with a spent barrel,
can shoot, but it should be understood that
23
00:01:50,220 --> 00:01:55,800
its gun becomes unpredictable. In addition, to
put excessive loads on it is to increase the
24
00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:00,000
percentage of unpredictability. About
the shells it's a hell of a lottery.
25
00:02:01,020 --> 00:02:03,960
That's the "Russian roulette"
with two rounds in the drum.
26
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:09,060
Before I continue, I ask you to subscribe
to my channel, it will help to promote it.
27
00:02:09,060 --> 00:02:16,440
In March 2023, Russian troops suffered
221 tank losses, the November 2022 level.
28
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,700
On March 23, Dmitry Medvedev announced that Russia
29
00:02:20,700 --> 00:02:26,880
planned to produce 1,500 tanks
in 2023, or 125 tanks per month.
30
00:02:27,420 --> 00:02:32,700
Two days later he had already announced
that Russia would produce 1,600 new tanks,
31
00:02:32,700 --> 00:02:36,000
but within 3 years, that is 44 tanks per month.
32
00:02:36,540 --> 00:02:43,740
Until February 24, 2022, the Russian
military-industrial complex transferred 160 to 300
33
00:02:43,740 --> 00:02:51,600
not new, but upgraded old tanks per year to the
Russian army. That is 13 to 25 per month. Again
34
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:59,580
- not new, but old, de-conservation or already in
service, upgraded tanks. But that's not the point.
35
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,580
The point is that the AFU destroyed at
36
00:03:02,580 --> 00:03:07,080
least 116 Russian tanks per month
during the full-scale invasion.
37
00:03:07,860 --> 00:03:12,600
In turn, taking into account the rate of
destruction of tanks over the past 5 months,
38
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:16,200
the average monthly figure is 180 units.
39
00:03:17,100 --> 00:03:21,540
Of course, with the intensification of
hostilities, this figure will increase.
40
00:03:22,380 --> 00:03:28,380
After all, the average loss of Russian tanks
in a year of war is 280 tanks per month.
41
00:03:28,380 --> 00:03:30,420
I mean, whatever claims they make,
42
00:03:30,420 --> 00:03:33,840
they can’t solve the loss problem
even at the level of fantasies.
43
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:39,600
Currently, the Russian military-industrial
complex is not producing, but restoring those
44
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,920
tanks that can be restored with minimal time
and cost to bring them to combat readiness.
45
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:51,300
And when they run out? Oh, well... Maybe then the
famous T-14 "Armata" will finally come into play?
