It produces about 50 artillery-gun barrels a year, according to Pavel Luzin of the Center for European Policy Analysis, a think-tank.
At the start of the conflict Russia had around 19,000 artillery pieces in unsheltered yards. But some of those guns have been rusting for decades, making them unusable. Many have been raided for parts over the past two years: gun barrels have frequently been used to replace those worn out by firing thousands of rounds.
It is hard to estimate the rate at which Ukraine is destroying Russian artillery: big guns are usually stationed far from the front lines, making them difficult to count. Ukraine’s armed forces claim to have destroyed more than 10,000, but the number which can be visually confirmed is far lower. Oryx, ananalysis team in the Netherlands, whose estimates are often reasonably consistent with those of state agencies, has images of around 1,000.

The invaders could protect their artillery by moving it further back from the front lines, or withdrawing some pieces altogether. But that would hamper their ability to pummel the Ukrainians.
