Although the Ukrainian army has obtained heavy artillery, but in a short period of time can not be skilled in the use of these weapons and equipment, the Russian army needs to quickly establish the battlefield initiative, the Ukrainian artillery positions that have not yet formed combat effectiveness to attack, do a good job of these three points can break this crisis: respectively, the Russian army should strengthen the firepower of close air support, avoid frontal confrontation with NATO artillery, and strengthen intelligence reconnaissance capabilities.

Towards the end of April, NATO heavy artillery also arrived in Poland, and then transported by land to the Ukrainian army. Judging from NATO's operations in the past few days, NATO's military assistance this time focuses on artillery, including 72 towed 155 mm howitzers provided by the US military, the British AS90 155 mm self-propelled howitzer, as well as Polish T-72 tanks, Slovenian T-72M tanks, Dutch PzH 2000 155 mm tracked self-propelled howitzers, and so on.
These guns are nato active duty weapons and equipment, and have strong combat effectiveness, such as the U.S. M777 type 155 mm howitzer, lightweight, can be carried out rapid strikes on the front line, evacuation, the British 155 mm self-propelled howitzer can carry out 6 rounds per minute of high-intensity firing, equipped with automatic loading system, can fire 3 shells in less than 10 seconds, the maximum range range of 20 to 30 kilometers.
If the extended range bomb is used, the range may be even longer, but this time NATO is providing ordinary shells. The arrival of NATO heavy artillery in Poland means that a fierce war is about to break out, and the Observatory think tank believes that the Russian military can break the crisis at three points.
The first point is that the Russian military should strengthen the firepower of close air support, give full play to its own advantages, and use helicopter gunships and unmanned aerial vehicles to establish low-altitude air supremacy. Strike at the artillery positions of the Ukrainian army. This kind of firepower for close air support needs to be provided by Russian helicopters and drones, but helicopters will face some air defense problems, so drones are weapons that the Russian military can rely on.
The second point is that the Russian military should avoid confronting NATO artillery head-on, because NATO artillery has a relatively long range, which can reach 20 to 30 kilometers. The M777 howitzer has a range of up to 24 kilometers, these guns have a range of more than most of the russian army's active equipment, and the Ukrainian army also has a large number of anti-tank weapons, which means that the Russian army also needs to pay attention to its tank group to avoid entering the range of Ukrainian anti-tank weapons and artillery.
The third point is that the Russian army should strengthen its intelligence and reconnaissance capabilities and quickly gain insight into the dynamics of the Ukrainian artillery positions. To strengthen intelligence reconnaissance capabilities, it is necessary to use unmanned aerial vehicles to carry out rapid reconnaissance and positioning of the Artillery Positions of the Ukrainian Army, and to conduct joint operations with the Aviation Corps, with the support of intelligence, to carry out rapid strikes on the artillery positions of the Ukrainian Army, and at the same time give play to the advantages of the long range of the Russian rocket artillery, and use the ultra-long range of the rocket artillery to strike at the Ukrainian artillery positions.
In summary, although the Ukrainian army has obtained heavy artillery, but in a short period of time can not be skilled in the use of these weapons and equipment, the Russian army needs to quickly establish the initiative on the battlefield, the Ukrainian artillery positions that have not yet formed combat effectiveness to strike, do a good job in these three points can break this crisis.
