Frontline Updates: The Artillery Hunt - March 21, 2026


Listen Later

March 21, 2026. Today's briefing from the Russian Ministry of Defense contains a number that demands attention: two U.S.-made M777 howitzers, destroyed in the Center sector. In a single day.

That's not just attrition. That's a statement. The M777 is the backbone of Ukraine's long-range precision artillery. It's 155-millimeter, GPS-capable, mobile, the system that has allowed Ukraine to strike deep behind Russian lines for years. And today, Russian forces destroyed two of them.

But that's not all. A German-made Marder infantry fighting vehicle, destroyed in the South. A U.S.-made M113, also in the South. A U.S.-made M114 howitzer, destroyed in the North. Six hundred sixty-eight drones shot down in a single day, nearly double recent averages. Nine electronic warfare stations neutralized. More than thirteen hundred Ukrainian personnel lost.

Today was about hunting artillery. And the hunters found their prey.

I'm your host, and this is "Frontline Updates". Today, we're joined by Colonel A.C. Oguntoye, an infantry officer with extensive experience in combined arms operations. Colonel, welcome back.

Today's briefing reveals that Russia has shifted its targeting priorities. They're not just attriting Ukrainian artillery, they're systematically hunting and destroying the highest-value systems. Two M777s in one day proves that.
