[Yahoo] Ukrainian troops fire thousands of explosive shells at Russian targets every day, using high-tech cannons supplied by the United States and its allies. But those weapons are burning out after months of overuse, or being damaged or destroyed in combat, and dozens have been taken off the battlefield for repairs, according to U.S. and Ukrainian officials.
One-third of the roughly 350 Western-made howitzers donated to Kyiv are out of action at any given time, according to U.S. defense officials and others familiar with Ukraine’s defense needs.
Swapping out a howitzer’s barrel, which can be 20 feet long and weigh thousands of pounds, is beyond the capability of soldiers in the field and has become a priority for the Pentagon’s European Command, which has set up a repair facility in Poland.

Western-made artillery pieces gave Ukrainian soldiers a lifeline when they began running low on ammunition for their own Soviet-era howitzers, and keeping them in action has become as important for Ukraine’s allies as providing them with enough ammunition.
The effort to repair the weapons in Poland, which has not previously been reported, began in recent months. The condition of Ukraine’s weapons is a closely held matter among U.S. military officials, who declined to discuss details of the program.
“With every capability we give to Ukraine, and those our allies and partners provide, we work to ensure that they have the right maintenance sustainment packages to support those capabilities over time,” Lt. Cmdr. Daniel Day, a spokesperson for the U.S. European Command, said in a statement.
When the ammunition for Ukraine’s Soviet-era guns, which fire shells 152 mm in diameter, grew scarce shortly after the invasion, NATO-standard howitzers that fire 155 mm shells became some of Ukraine’s most important weapons, given the vast stockpiles of compatible shells held by Kyiv’s partners.
The Pentagon has sent 142 M777 howitzers to Ukraine, enough to outfit about eight battalions, the most recent tally of U.S. military aid to Ukraine shows. Ukrainian troops have used them to attack enemy troops with volleys of 155 mm shells, to target command posts with small numbers of precision-guided rounds and even to lay small anti-tank minefields.
Russia and Ukraine have struggled to meet the demand for artillery ammunition on the front. Russia has turned to North Korea for ordnance, and Ukraine has requested more shells from its allies.
The United States has shipped hundreds of thousands of rounds of 155 mm ammunition for Ukraine to fire in the largest barrages on the European continent since World War II and has committed to providing nearly 1 million of the shells in all from its own inventory and private industry.
Ukrainian forces have also received 155 mm shells from countries besides the United States. Some of those shells and propellant charges had not been tested for use in certain howitzers, and the Ukrainian soldiers have found out in combat that some of them can wear out barrels more quickly, according to U.S. military officials.
After the damaged howitzers arrive in Poland, maintenance crews can change out the barrels and make other repairs. Ukrainian officials have said they would like to bring those maintenance sites closer to the front lines, so that the guns can be returned to combat sooner, the U.S. officials and other people said.
The work on the howitzers is overseen by U.S. European Command in Stuttgart, Germany but may soon fall under a new command that will focus on training and equipping Ukrainian troops.
“It’s not altogether surprising that there are maintenance issues with these weapons,” said Rob Lee, a military analyst at the Foreign Policy Research Institute. “They didn’t get a full training package for them and then were thrown into the fight, so you are going to get a lot of wear and tear.”
The Western artillery weapons provided to Ukraine, in the form of rocket launchers and howitzers, have sharply different maintenance needs. Of the former, HIMARS vehicles need little work to keep firing their ammunition, which is contained in pods of preloaded tubes. But howitzers are essentially large firearms that are reloaded with ammunition — shells weighing about 90 pounds each — and fired many hundreds or thousands of times, which eventually takes a toll on the cannon’s internal parts.
The nature of the artillery duels, in which Ukrainian crews often fire from extremely long distances to make Russian counterattacks more difficult, places additional strain on the howitzers. The larger propellant charges required to do that produce much more heat and can cause gun barrels to wear out more quickly.
Currently, Ukrainian forces are firing 2,000 to 4,000 artillery shells a day, a number frequently outmatched by the Russians. Over time, that pace has caused problems for Ukrainian soldiers using M777 howitzers, such as shells not traveling as far or as accurately.
Some of the issues can be traced, in part, to the howitzer’s design. Built largely with titanium, which is lighter than steel but just as strong, the weapon is easier to move on the battlefield and quicker to set up than earlier guns — a clear advantage for the United States when it began using the M777 in Iraq and Afghanistan in the early 2000s.
In those wars, unlike in Ukraine, the M777 was generally used to fire small numbers of shells in support of troops.
The United States did, however, get a glimpse of what might happen to Ukraine’s M777 howitzers five years ago, during the campaign to defeat the Islamic State group.
In 2017, a Marine artillery battery from Camp Lejeune in North Carolina deployed to Syria with four M777 guns and fired more than 23,000 rounds of 155 mm ammunition in five months of supporting combat operations in Raqqa — nearly 55 times what a typical battery of that size would normally fire in a year of peacetime training.
As a result, three of the battery’s howitzers had to be removed because of excessive wear over the course of that deployment and were replaced with guns held in reserve in Kuwait.
When one of the howitzers went down, the others simply fired more, an option the Ukrainians are forced to choose daily.

For instance the M777 is built like a race car, with fine tolerances, versus the Soviet 2A65 which is built more like an older tractor.
One has much better performance (and accuracy) under ideal conditions, the other has mediocre performance but is not as susceptible to adverse conditions.

Ah,
So you mean things actually get "USED" in a real war and you need actual production lines that produce more than "5" barrels a year?
Whelp! Who would have thunk that. Not the GrandLogisticians with multiple doctorates on Logistics and Production and Management, for sure.

Frank G;
Not a good comparison. Both an AK and an Ar will handle the mud and wear&tear equally well/badly.
A better comparison would be one between a/any "line trooper rifle" and an ultra-gucci .3 MOA long distance bench-queen that needs barrel adjustment after every 100 rounds, hand-loaded and precisely calibrated ammo and a white-room to manage it's maintenance.

The west, and the US in particular, since the cold war planned on an "80 hour war". With the associated combined arms gear, it was all supposed to over, one way or another.
The notion of fighting a sustained conflict isn't in the plans. Hence Iraq.

[Korrespondent] 21:52 Since the liberation of the Kherson region from shelling, 32 civilians have died there, said the head of the National Police Igor Klimenko. According to him, the population of the region is now being evacuated due to constant massive shelling.
20:41 Zelensky and Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo signed a declaration on Belgium's support for Ukraine's full membership in the EU and NATO.
20:35 Zelensky said in an evening video message that the Ukrainian Grain from Ukraine summit was supported by more than 20 states, the total amount that was accumulated is almost $150 million. Up to 60 ships are being prepared for shipment.
19:50 Luxembourg will transfer six Primoco One 150 drones to Ukraine. These Czech-made UAVs were purchased as part of military assistance to Kiev, the Luxembourg Ministry of Defense reported.
18:59 The Russians launched an airstrike on the Chasovoy Yar of the Donetsk region, as a result of which three people were injured. A direct hit destroyed the entrance of the five-story building, damaged the unfinished building and the warehouse, said the head of the OVA, Pavel Kirilenko.
18:48 During a visit to Kiev, Hungarian President Katalin Novak said that Putin's responsibility for the war against Ukraine is obvious. According to her, Hungary has "150,000 reasons" to stop this war and achieve peace: "150,000 reasons are 150,000 Hungarians living in Transcarpathia on the territory of Ukraine. Many ethnic Hungarians have already given their lives for the defense of Ukraine. Responsibility of Vladimir Putin for this war is obvious, and the Hungarians have always and everywhere opposed this suffering and bloodshed. We are neighbors with Ukraine, and our neighbors can rely on our help. Neighbors will always remain neighbors."
18:43 Ukraine receives secret arms supplies from countries that publicly deny it, Kuleba said in an interview with Le Parisien. According to him, Kyiv receives military assistance from a number of countries not directly, but through intermediaries: "Most of these third countries publicly say that they are not supplying anything, but everything is happening behind the scenes."
17:39 The founding summit of the Grain From Ukraine humanitarian initiative took place today. Zelensky stressed that this initiative highlights the global importance of food security and the global role of Ukraine and partners in ensuring such security. Ukraine plans to send at least 60 ships from its ports to the countries most affected by the food crisis and in urgent need of assistance.
16:42 DTEK announced that from November 26, it will turn on the light for all Kiev residents in turn so that the interruption in power supply is no more than five hours. This will be the case until the generation deficit can be reduced.
15:57 Belgium will supply Ukraine with ten underwater drones and two mobile laboratories, Defense Minister Ludivine Dedonder said. According to him, these drones can detect all underwater threats - both mines and spy equipment. And mobile laboratories can be quickly deployed near the place where an incident of a chemical, bacteriological, radiological or nuclear nature occurred.
15:14 The Russians attacked the Dnieper this afternoon. According to preliminary information, seven private houses were partially destroyed, a fire broke out. 13 people who were injured due to the missile strike have already turned to doctors, including a 17-year-old boy. Four were hospitalized. Rescuers continue to dismantle the rubble, there is a possibility that there may be a person, said the head of the OVA, Valentin Reznichenko.
14:23 Another exchange of prisoners took place: 12 Ukrainians were released , Yermak said. Among them are four Navy fighters, two National Guardsmen, border guards, one from the TPO, as well as three civilians - a spouse and a man who was considered missing. Among the military - two officers, as well as seven privates and sergeants. The soldiers defended Mariupol, the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and Snake Island. In total, 98 Ukrainians were returned in the last week.
14:07 Well-known crime boss Armen Sargsyan (Armen Gorlovsky) has become the new "watchman" for prisons throughout the Russian Federation and the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. One of his main activities is the creation of a new "private military company", according to Ukrainian military intelligence. It is expected that within a limited time the new structure will recruit a significant number of recruits. The model for the project should be PMC Wagner. "Recruits" for PMCs will be recruited in places of deprivation of liberty.
The project should strengthen the occupying contingent and create internal competition among Russian PMCs. The new PMC is sponsored by Russian-Armenian businessman Samvel Karapetyan. The creation of a new structure is an attempt to create a counterbalance to Prigozhin's de facto monopoly in the field of PMCs in Russia, the GUR MOU notes.
Armen Sargsyan is a crime boss from Gorlovka, close to the Yanukovych family and associated with Yuri Ivanyushchenko (Yura Enakievsky). He is on the Ukrainian wanted list as one of the organizers of the murders on the Maidan. The shadow overseer of all business in the occupied Gorlovka, since February 24, has been engaged in looting and "squeezing" businesses in the occupied territories.
13:35 Prime Ministers of Ukraine, Poland and Lithuania Denis Shmygal, Mateusz Morawiecki and Ingrida Simonyte signed a joint statement following the meeting in Kiev within the framework of the Lublin Triangle. They called on the international community to recognize the common goal of liberating the entire temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine.
12:53 On Sunday, November 27, Kiev may reach the planned power outage schedules, Klitschko said: "Almost all houses in Kiev are with heat supply, in the near future this figure will be complete. Currently, 25% of Kiev residents are without electricity. I hope that tomorrow we will be able to reach the planned shutdown schedules. There is water in the whole city. The situation is already much better."
11:48 Electricity was supplied to Kherson, the Office of the President reported.
11:39 Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo arrived in Kyiv. Zelensky announced that he was starting negotiations.
11:23 In the Kherson region over the past day, as a result of Russian shelling, two civilians were killed, ten more people were injured, the head of the OVA, Yaroslav Yanushevich, said.
11:16 Prime Minister of Poland Mateusz Morawiecki arrived in Kyiv on a visit. He has already honored the memory of the victims of the Holodomor at the memorial sign on Mikhailovskaya Square.
11:14 As of 11:00, another nuclear unit has been put into operation, the capacity is being increased to the planned level at others. Thus, electricity producers now cover about 75% of consumption needs. However, another 25% of electricity is still in short supply, so today a consumption restriction regime is in effect throughout Ukraine, Ukrenergo reported.
11:09 In Ukraine, more than 2,000 unemployed have already been involved in public works to restore the country from the consequences of hostilities, the State Employment Service reported. Most of all, the Restoration Army signed up in Sumy (664 people), Kyiv (509 people) and Poltava regions (313 people). Among the main types of work are the construction of protective structures, the unloading and packaging of humanitarian aid, the removal of rubble, etc.
11:03 British intelligence reports that Russia is removing nuclear warheads from aging nuclear cruise missiles and bombarding Ukraine with rockets without a warhead. This is confirmed by an open-source photograph showing the wreckage of an AS-15 rocket, which was developed in the 1980s to deliver a nuclear weapon. Such a modification of the rocket cannot cause great damage, although it can cause some harm due to kinetic energy.
Analysts note that the main thing that the Russians achieve with launches is to divert the attention of Ukrainian air defense to false targets. However, whatever Russia's goal in this impromptu scheme, it in itself illustrates the shortage of long-range missiles, intelligence points out.
10:04 In Kiev, 130,000 residents remain without electricity in the mode of emergency shutdowns, the KGVA reported. Water supply has been restored in full, and the start of heat supply continues. Within 24 hours, it is planned to complete all restoration work, electricity will be supplied according to the schedules of stabilization shutdowns.

09:22 The American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) writes that Russia has begun to conduct prisoner-of-war exchanges more often to alleviate dissatisfaction in the information space due to previous failures in negotiations on the return of Russian prisoners.
09:11 In the Donetsk region over the past day, as a result of Russian shelling, four civilians were injured - three in Bakhmut and one in Kramatorsk, said the head of the OVA Pavel Kirilenko.
09:03 Kiev residents complain about the inconsistency of information about the work of Indestructibility Points in the capital, which is why people's deputies begin to inspect all 530 locations, Arakhamia said. Over the weekend, it is planned to carry out a full update of the data and at the same time solve problems with equipment, logistics and the functioning of locations.
08:56 The New York Times writes that almost a third of the 350 artillery installations that Western countries have supplied to Ukraine are inoperative. To eliminate this problem, the United States has deployed a repair base in Poland.
07:59 Russia is regrouping its troops in order to strengthen them in the Limansky, Avdeevsky and Novopavlovsky directions. Over the past day, units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine repelled attacks by invaders in the areas of the settlements of Yakovlevka, Soledar, Bakhmutskoye, Bakhmut, Opytnoye, Pervomayskoye, Krasnogorovka and Nevelskoye of the Donetsk region, the General Staff reported in the morning report .
Also, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports a large number of losses in enemy units in the Luhansk region. There has increased the number of civilian hospitals used by the enemy for the treatment of exclusively Russian military. Hospitals in the settlements of Krasny Luch, Antratsit and Lutugino are overflowing with wounded invaders, and morgues with their bodies.
The issue of logistical support for the mobilized Russian servicemen remains unresolved. So, in the Kostroma region, social networks are calling on the population to weave camouflage nets, carry warm clothes, mats, sleeping bags and other things necessary for military personnel in the field. At the same time, there is a decline in material support for the Russian military from the civilian population.
The Russian military-political leadership began to receive reports on the real state of affairs of the mobilization carried out and the implementation of the plan for the autumn conscription for military service. It is known that the military personnel of the Kaliningrad region are no longer fulfilling the plans for the autumn conscription for military service due to the evasion of conscripts.
00:10 Electricity shortage is currently 30%, while by Wednesday morning, November 23, there was a deficit of 15-20%. During Saturday, November 26, an increase in the capacity of nuclear power plants is expected, respectively, the percentage of consumption coverage by generation will grow, said Volodymyr Kudrytsky, Chairman of the Board of Ukrenergo. "We plan that we will pass the weekend with a deficit of about 25%. This figure is already close to the one that was before the last shelling, but it is still large. Therefore, the restriction schedules will remain," he added.
Kudrytsky also said that now Ukrenergo has changed tactics and brings to the oblenergo not the number of megawatts by which consumption should be limited in each region, but, on the contrary, the consumption limit in the region. “And according to the limits that we have increased for tomorrow, I see that 75% of consumption coverage is the level that allows us to make the outages shorter and try to enter the planned mode,” the head of Ukrenergo explained.

[REGNUM] The United States put Russian businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin
...Volodya Putin’s buddy is not just any Russian businessman, but the head of Wagner PMC...
on the wanted list . This is stated on the website of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
It is reported that a reward of $ 250,000 has been announced for information that will lead to the arrest of the entrepreneur.
The FBI is known to be looking for Prigozhin for his alleged involvement in a conspiracy against the United States, including interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Recall that in July of this year, the US State Department promised a reward of up to $10 million for information about Prigozhin and the Internet Research Agency (IRA).

Forget Mar-a-Lago. He's attending a private deal closure with Hunter Biden at the Lincoln Cottage, Camp David. You've got the number. Call after 1000 hrs please.

Still beating the "Russian interference" horse, eh? A big reward will keep the idea in the news, even if no one ever claims it. It also gives the FBI something to do when they are not fomenting plots and insurrections.
Commentary by Russian military blogger Andrey Chervonets
US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken demanded that Moscow immediately withdraw the law banning propaganda of homosexuality
No, let your children in the USA receive the services of sex reassignment surgeons at the age of 10, but we, in Belarus, Russia will not have this.
Good for them. Things are changing here, too, but only after the Culture Revolution types viciously bullied the rest into letting them do this to our children for a few years.
Today, the State Duma adopted a law banning LGBT propaganda, pedophilia and gender reassignment in advertising, books, movies and the media. LGBT people are free to do whatever they want in their beds at home, but there should be no propaganda, especially among children, either theoretically or in principle.
For an adult, if he is not sick of course, homosexuality is difficult to impose, because he understands that the relationship between a man and a woman is the norm, men and men are not the norm. And children can simply be deceived, deftly substituting concepts and cause-and-effect relationships.
By the way, interestingly, such characters as Blinken call themselves Christians. But LGBT people have no place in Christianity, do they? Blinkens don't feel the breaking of their own template? Or are they already so entangled in their duplicity that they themselves do not notice?
Let me remind you that on October 15, 2020, Joe Biden announced the right of 8-year-old children to change their sex. In October 2022, Biden condemned a number of US states for banning the provision of puberty blockers and sex reassignment surgery for minors. So let all this abomination remain in the US and the EU.
We'll get by somehow, your values are not universal, don't force it on others. And the West itself... if LGBT rights are interpreted as broad human rights, then the West, in order to avoid double standards, should include respect for pedophiles, necrophiles and bestiality in these rights. They, too, after all, people, although abnormal.
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
[ColonelCassad]▪️On November 23, as a result of missile strikes by the Russian Armed Forces on the energy infrastructure, several sections of the railway were de-energized, namely:
➖in Kyiv region
➖in the Dnipropetrovsk region
➖in Mykolaiv region
➖in Lviv region
➖in Vinnitsa region
➖in Sumy region
➖in Kharkiv region.
On the day on November 23, there was a delay of 12 long-distance trains, and in the evening the number increased to 22.
Delays in the movement of long-distance trains reached an average of 1 to 4 hours.
▪️By the evening of November 24, traffic pauses were already recorded on 28 flights. The largest: for trains in the direction of Odessa, Kharkov and Lvov, on average, delays reached 12 hours.
▪️In the afternoon of November 25, the movement of the Intercity electric train was resumed. It was reported that ten long-distance trains were behind schedule in the direction of Odessa, Kharkiv, Zaporozhye, Lvov, Ivano-Frankivsk and Uzhgorod. The longest - 13 hours for train number 120 "Lviv-Zaporozhye."
Rail traffic is gradually being restored.
As of November 28, Ukrzaliznytsia has already announced the launch of several suburban trains in the Kharkiv region.
Most of the delays in the movement of trains are associated with a shortage of diesel locomotives. They are intensively used for transporting military cargo, fuel and lubricants and supplying the army.
Compared to past strikes, the duration and scale of disruptions to the Ukrainian railroad have increased. And in the case of repeated strikes, the problems will increase.
It should also be noted that the use of diesel locomotives for military transportation is not a panacea - they must be serviced and refueled. And for this and for the operation of the railway infrastructure as a whole, electricity is needed.
