Notes:
The table lists HE-F shell expenditures. Fragmentation-submunition shell expenditures are listed in brackets, while a dash notes that firing to hit is not useful.
Shell expenditures assume:
- Firing up to and including ten kilometers, targeting assumes full preparation or using a sight-in gun's data, whereas for rocket artillery full or partial preparation is assumed.
- For firing over ten kilometers, the expenditure is increased by one tenth for every kilometer beyond the first ten kilometers.
When firing data is adjusted by sight-in shooting, fire adjusting using aimpoints or when ammunition effects can be verified, expenditures are reduced by 25%. When the partial preparation method is used, the ammunition expenditure grows 150%.
When an unarmored target is entrenched, the shell expenditure is increased by a factor of three. When a battery/platoon of towed guns/mortars is deployed openly, the shell expenditure is decreased by a factor of three.
When the target is an armored RADAR station, a single armored target or an APC-carried CP, the shell expenditure triples.

Notes:
The table lists HE-F shell expenditure. Fragmentatin-submunition shell expenditure is listed in brackets. A dash means that firing is not useful.
Expenditure norms are listed per cannon or launcher, regardless of range.
Expnditure norms for suppressing SP armored guns (mortars) with long-range medium MLRS are given based on the usage of medium-range medium MLRS shells
Shell usage per minute during continuous fire concentration
