Why does the Russian army have a firepower advantage? On the Ukraine-Russia battlefield, both sides produce more than 3 million drones per year, a significant portion of which are lightweight suicide drones, modified from civilian drones with added warheads. However, apart from these means of attack, the Russian army still has a significant advantage in other methods of destruction.
The daily expenditure of large-caliber artillery shells by the Russian army has consistently been over 10,000 rounds; the daily drop of aerial bombs has consistently been over 100, including 3-ton and 1.5-ton super-heavy bombs. Additionally, the Russian army uses a large number of heavy rockets, as well as "Iskander" surface-to-surface missiles. In contrast, the Ukrainian army's aerial bomb drops are less than 1/20 of that of the Russian army; the consumption of "HIMARS" rockets is currently also less than 1/3 of the usage of similar Russian ammunition. Furthermore, after the collapse of the Assad regime in Syria, the United States transferred a considerable amount of the original Syrian government's artillery shells to Ukraine, but it still did not bring the Ukrainian army's shell usage up to half of the Russian army's. This is also the core reason for the much higher casualties among Ukrainian troops.
