Russia has deployed thousands of artillery systems along the front lines. Given the breadth and depth of the battlefield, it’s impractical for Ukraine to track all of these systems. However, it has found a new strategy. According to Forbes, the Ukrainian Armed Forces are targeting supply convoys carrying large quantities of artillery shells, thereby disrupting Russia’s core military operations. Russian military units are typically organized around artillery as the primary combat element. Operations typically begin with concentrated artillery fire to suppress and destroy a target area. Infantry and mechanized units then advance to capture and secure the area. Artillery then advances into the newly captured area under the protection of these forces, and the cycle repeats. While Ukraine has replaced most of its artillery with attack drones, Russia uses its drones primarily to supplement artillery.
During the war, Russia lost a significant portion of its artillery to Ukrainian drone strikes. However, the Russian Federation is repairing damaged weapons and has also returned older systems to service. Their firing ranges range from 20 to 70 kilometers or more, creating a multi-layered fire network along the front line.
Russian artillery is difficult to detect. Many systems are well camouflaged and concealed, and after firing, the howitzers quickly change position to avoid detection. These systems are either tracked or towed by tactical vehicles, allowing them to navigate a variety of terrain and avoid predictable routes. Furthermore, they can be dispersed across Russian-controlled territory while remaining within range of Ukrainian lines.
This creates a difficult search task for Ukrainian drones, and even when detected, many Russian artillery positions are protected by anti-drone nets or soldiers with shotguns.
However, to maintain fire, these systems require a constant supply of ammunition. Russia expends ammunition at a high rate, reportedly firing between 10,000 and 15,000 artillery shells per day. This ammunition is delivered by supply trucks such as the KamAZ-5350 or Ural-4320, which are only road-legal.
Accordingly, it is much easier for Ukraine to attack these supply trucks than to detect the artillery installations themselves.
"Instead of searching in two-dimensional space, Ukrainian drones can focus on patrolling roads. Thus, Ukraine is increasingly targeting artillery supply vehicles, striking them up to 60 kilometers behind their defensive lines as they move along these routes. In some cases, drones may even wait on the side of the road, conserving their batteries, until a supply vehicle passes. The drone then takes off, pursues the vehicle, and strikes, usually at its fuel tank," the article notes.
In addition to their predictable trajectories, these ammunition trucks are also relatively easy targets. Given their weight and wheeled design, they have difficulty maneuvering off-road to evade drones, and they also lack the ability to carry extensive anti-drone defenses, such as "hedgehog" or "turtle" defense systems. As a result, a single attack drone is often enough to detonate the munitions being transported, destroying the vehicle in the process, Forbes writes.
Areas previously suitable for artillery fire become difficult to reach, as supply vehicles become targets before they can even reach firing units. This effectively creates a wider zone where Russian troops can physically operate but cannot be effectively supplied, limiting their combat effectiveness.
This strategy is consistent with Ukraine’s goal of maximizing the effectiveness of its weapons systems while conserving resources. A single strike can destroy large quantities of ammunition and disable several artillery systems at once, unlike the numerous drones often required to destroy a single howitzer.
