I've been looking for any good accounts on the dynamics of modern artillery engagements (what's happening in Ukraine has sparked interest but it's always been something I've wondered about) - looking for any material on the topic: books, magazine articles, videos, podcasts - will take anything. A few thoughts that have come to mind:
- The situation in Ukraine - is it representative of what theory suggests most conflicts might look like (i.e. NATO v. Russia, hypothetically)?
- Ukraine is often compared to WW1 - this feels simplifying - is it accurate? What are the differences if not? What is the density of manpower / firepower relative to WW1? What are the casualty rates like?
- Is it simply a matter of detection / having superior angles or longer range? What other factors determine how to gain an advantage?
- What are the roles of other elements of an armed force? If air superiority / supremacy (not sure these terms are correct in this context) could be established, how does that change the above dynamics?
Apologies if this has already been covered - I found this post (https://www.reddit.com/r/WarCollege/comments/mxnup0/artillery_in_modern_warfare/) but it was pre-Ukraine, so imagining there might be some more specific takes at this point.
