Oof that's a lot of Artillery Systems. I hope they were able to capture and not just destroy them, so they could use those Systems against Ruzzia.
capturing would be of little use as Ukraine doesn't have ammunition to them, or even a way to get more. Efforts to get Ukraine more artillery ammunition are focused on NATO standard rounds which will not fix in these.
This is the typical days haul of artillery for a long time. However Russia is known of have a lot of artillery in various stockpiles. The number destroyed isn't the point so much as it forced Russia to go back for even older artillery to replace it. Already we see them using systems designed in WWII (AFAIK nothing that saw service in WWII, but things designed then and built after the way).
These are fantastic artillery numbers. Iirc, russia is an artillery-first military - e.g. shoot a lot or artillery, pause and check with soldiers, repeat as needed.
So the fewer of those they have, the more they rely on guided bombs (which require planes, which are few, wear off and they are steadily losing too) and meat assaults.
