Covert Cabal did a video on the number of self-propelled artillery on the russian side that is remaining to give us some idea on how long that will last. He is saying that out of the 4200 SPG's, 4500 remain. However the daily reports of artillery destroyed every day is stunning.

You meant 2500, right?

Either way, the most important of the video is this chart here:

It shows that while Russia "only" lost about 40% of their SPGs, they lost much more of the more modern vehicles than their older counterparts - possibly because those are in a sorry state of disrepair and need longer to be put in combat shape again.

Another interesting tidbit is what he says at the end: That the backlog of vehicles to be repaired is growing fast and that they are falling further and further behind on the time schedule, especially with the tanks. In other words, it takes longer and longer for Russia to repair a vehicle and bring it to the front, which means that Russia can't keep their production numbers up and will sooner or later have to fight on foot. He also says that he's going to make a video about that soon, so we'll have a clearer picture about this soon.
