Disrupting Russia’s Artillery Supply Chain
Overview
The Russian military remains dependent upon its artillery in how it wages war. Its advantage in artillery over Ukraine has accounted for the vast majority of Ukrainian casualties throughout the war.
Join us for a discussion of a new report that breaks down the end to end supply chains supporting Russia's artillery, from the sourcing or raw materials and machine tooling, to the manufacture of guns and ammunition, its storage, and transportation. The report identifies a number of areas where targeted disruption could have a tangible impact on Russia's artillery and held redress the imbalance between Russia and Ukraine. At this event the authors will detail the key findings and offer policy recommendations. The findings may be directly focused on artillery, but the approach presented has applicability to other adversary capabilities and indeed to other adversaries and competitors, from Iran to China.

The Global Europe Program is focused on Europe’s capabilities, and how it engages on critical global issues. We investigate European approaches to critical global issues. We examine Europe’s relations with Russia and Eurasia, China and the Indo-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. Our initiatives include “Ukraine in Europe” – an examination of what it will take to make Ukraine’s European future a reality. But we also examine the role of NATO, the European Union and the OSCE, Europe’s energy security, transatlantic trade disputes, and challenges to democracy. The Global Europe Program’s staff, scholars-in-residence, and Global Fellows participate in seminars, policy study groups, and international conferences to provide analytical recommendations to policy makers and the media.
