    Ukraine gets the coordinates and multiple systems have automation to work together to hit an area and they’ve had that for awhile.

    At least earlier on, Russia was still doing a lot of shoot a shit ton to blanket an area as they werent as high tech on that front.

    That was awhile ago though, Russia may have worked towards that by now.

      I’d say that from what we can see here, Russian capabilities did not improve in general, but diverged.

      They have much better drone recon allowing better precision nowadays, but are running out of good guns to follow up on that, so they are most likely doing blanket artillery saturation while also hitting valuable targets with glide bombs and ballistic missiles.

      So vis-a-vis artillery, they need many more shells for the same effect, and it’s getting worse, but they are getting better with drones and cheap smart munitions.
