The modern Howitzers and other self-propelled gun platforms that are not just ballistic will change the conflict, Russia will have to get more of it's elite airforce involved or revert to troops on the ground. These laser guided self-propelled weapons can take out tanks and other fortifications from ranges at least 30km away, with extended range ammo they can be 60km away. I read somewhere a while back the latest variants can fire 4 rounds a minute all individually targeted, travel at 90kph and can be firing within 90s of stopping.
Just to give you an idea of what a range of 30km to 60km means, out in the middle of nowhere like the Nullarbor Plain your visible horizon standing at an eye height of 1.8m is about 5km!
