Representative of the joint press center of the Forces defense of the Tauride direction, Alexander Shtupun, on the air of the telethon, called this shortage “palpable.”
However, our soldiers find a way out of this situation. According to Shtupun, for this purpose, the use of drones, so-called FPV drones, and “drop drones” has increased.
Also, according to the speaker, Ukrainian units do not have enough Soviet shells, but “the 155-mm NATO-style artillery is currently operating, it is much more accurate and allows us to carry out the tasks that we are now facing.”
