Western militaries love to spend $50k on a guided munition to destroy the target in one shot. Russia's equally valid approach of "Have 50 archaic tanks blanket the entire field with HE from obsolete shells" is likely a tenth that price. And afterward Russia has 49 tanks left and Ukraine is out an irreplaceable $50k munition and their towed artillery is dead to boot.

Russia has the Krasnopol guided artillery munition. Similar to the Excalibur, but it can hit a moving tank (up to 36km/h) and it's cheaper (30K).
