Compass Points - Still the King


Artillery has become the decisive weapon of the war in Ukraine. With tens of millions of shells fired and drones guiding nearly every strike, this conflict has turned into one of the most intense artillery battles in modern history.

In this episode we break down how artillery systems have actually performed in Ukraine — not in theory, not in brochures, but on the battlefield. Using visually confirmed loss data, open-source intelligence, and real combat footage, we compare Soviet-era artillery, Western-supplied systems, rocket artillery, and self-propelled guns to see which platforms survive, which get destroyed, and why.

This video follows on from our previous deep dives into tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, and completes the picture of how modern combined-arms warfare is being reshaped by drones, counter-battery fire, and extreme attrition.
