The amount of copium available for Ukraine fans seems to be dwindling.

More mainstream media now report on the huge damage the Russian artillery is causing to the Ukrainian frontline troops. Even the New York Times joined in:

Under the fire of Russia’s long-range arsenal and facing a desperate need for ammunition and weapons, Ukrainian forces remain outgunned on the long and pockmarked eastern front, according to military analysts, Ukrainian officials and soldiers on the ground. Just one engagement on Thursday and Friday on a small swath of the line, in a forest north of the town of Sloviansk, sent about a dozen Ukrainian soldiers to a military hospital with harrowing shrapnel wounds.

“You ask how the fighting is going,” said Oleksandr Kolesnikov, the commander of a company of soldiers fighting in the forest, interviewed on an ambulance gurney outside a military hospital in Kramatorsk. “There was a commander of the company. He was killed. There was another commander. He was killed. A third commander was wounded. I am the fourth.”

“You ask how the fighting is going,” said Oleksandr Kolesnikov, the commander of a company of soldiers fighting in the forest, interviewed on an ambulance gurney outside a military hospital in Kramatorsk. “There was a commander of the company. He was killed. There was another commander. He was killed. A third commander was wounded. I am the fourth.”

A company would be 100 to 250 members. Three commanders killed and the 4th on a gurney is far worse than most US battles in WW II.

A returning veteran who had volunteered for Ukraine said he was frightened of the level of constant Russian artillery barrages.

If a battle consists of primarily one side lobbing artillery at the other, it's not not really a battle.

During WW II the German 88 mm artillery was a big obstacle to overcome. Americans had the 155 mm guns, but it took three men to load it. ;)

In the first phase Russians establish artillery fire control so there can be no more re-supplies of either men, war materials or food and petrol. Only after that phase is complete do they send in tanks and men. They do this to minimize their casualties.
