Ukraine fires about 4-7k dumb rounds per day (Russia fires around 20k).
What's the bet that the Russians produce a 155 mm (or thereabouts) artillery shell for a whole lot less than the Western MICs can charge. I did see somewhere that Russia can produce an artillery shell of that sort of calibre for about 2-300 bucks. (And I remember thinking that that was expensive!)

1 standard 155mm shell costs about $3600, (up from ~$2k before the war)
And 1 smart shell (guided) around $110,000
