Historically, artillery has always played an important role in Russian military doctrine. From the days of the Soviet Union through modern times, the Red Army has emphasized the importance of heavy firepower whether by tanks or artillery.
Russia's artillery has been a major element in its recent operations, specifically in Ukraine. In the ongoing conflict, Russian forces have leaned heavily on their artillery to gain strategic advantages.
To put this in some perspective, no other country in Eastern Europe comes close to matching these numbers. Russia's firepower in this aspect dwarfs its neighbors, even with their combined forces.
Artillery bombardments have been a key part of Russia's efforts to weaken Ukrainian defenses and control key territories. Although, it should be noted that the conflict has not yet reached a conclusion.
