That is true. The US has deprioritized artillery for a long time. If you want to blow something up, call in an airstrike. We have some of the most kickass airpower on the planet. Or deploy some himars (missiles). There have been a few programs to make some longer range artillery, but after a few billion dollars, they were all cancelled. Our current artillery is behind the times.

I believe there is a new one on the drawing board, largely because of what the Army is seeing in Ukraine. I forget the designation of the system.

There also is adapting to NATO standard in Ukraine while most of their stuff is old Soviet standard. That's changing as they get more hardware from NATO nations.
