What newer equipment they have received (M777 howitzers, HIMARS rocket launchers) have been targeted for destruction as soon as they are detected on the battlefield. They take drone videos of M777s being blasted by precision artillery (destroying also the gun crew, most likely). According to Colonel Douglas MacGregor, the Russians have perfected a battle management control loop that feeds directly from comprehensive surveillance into target identification and fire control. There is no way the Ukrainians can bring their equipment to the front without the Russians being able to knock it out before it gets there. NATO looks on in dread.
