Quite a few Russian soldiers are saying that Ukraine's counter battery is far superior hence a ton of Russian artillery is being picked off.

It's basically a battle now between the West's superior technology vs Russian's endless supply...Although losing operators is a consideration to take as well, not anyone can just fire artillery effectively, plus like you said, replacing the destroyed artillery, Ukraine needs to destroy logistical routes and they won't have to destroy all of Russia's artillery.

I think losing too many artillery systems won't be Russia's problem. They have just so much of it and obviously also didn't stop producing new military equipment since the war started. Russia will also throw billions in the production of new ones. But hitting the operators will be a problem sometime. You have to train them and you can't learn battle experience, that also takes a lot of time and many will be already dead again before they gained that experience. 

Importantly need to destroy the logistical routes as well so it's harder to replace any destroyed artillery but they can't do that when we still put f*cking range restrictions on them, if Ukraine had ATACMS they could seriously damage all supply routes in the South, if they had unrestricted Storm Shadow they could finish off the Crimean Bridge. Sigh.
