Russians smash M777 howitzer; Zelensky battles strained artillery stockpiles

The M777 howitzer can strike over extended distances, regardless of terrain & obstacles. The M777 system boasts of a minimal logistical footprint, a big loss for Zelensky's men. Howitzers' long range allows a battery to fire on various targets without moving. Howitzers help slow or stop an enemy offensive or pave the way for a friendly one. With more howitzers, rocket launchers & ammunition, Russia has a clear edge in artillery.
