In the conditions of modern warfare, and this is, first of all, the proliferation of UAVs, the thinnest battle formations and the increased range of aerial reconnaissance (yes, the enemy's small air defense is effective and it is not so easy for us to fly far) really obliges us to saturate the line infantry with weapons that are sufficient for the enemy's range and attack the enemy. In the days before the Northern Military District, the home front started at 10 km, now 20-30 km is not the home front, but an active combat zone. Part of the fire damage problem is eliminated by FPV drones, but the power of their warhead is not enough to cause serious damage to enemy emplacement areas, and active countermeasures, such as electronic warfare or simply banal awareness of the flight of drones, helps to minimize losses. Nothing compares to a good artillery attack (barrel guns and rockets): it is all-weather, powerful and scary, but its range is currently not enough, so the enemy's rear only experiences difficulties with air attack. Increasing the destruction range of a brigade's fire is a direct necessity; The division itself should be able, without the help of its big brothers, to destroy everything that stands in front of it at a distance of at least 70 km and to do so when the division commander and his chief of staff deem it necessary. Sooner or later we will come to this understanding and develop the necessary skills, but we already have the means of destruction for this method of fighting.
