What does that even mean? If Ukraine had more self propelled guns they would be using them instead. What thought process brought you to the conclusion that wasting shells of your most modern and capable artillery systems, while there are ample alternative explosives around, is a worthwile endevour?
>the US is still using towed artillery which would not have those survival rates
Everyone is still using 'towed artillery' but they also have large numbers of self propelled guns that are becoming increasingly more common because they're just that good.
People funamentally misunderstand the fact drones are tactical in nature, operating at company level. Medium and Heavy artillery are usually in their own dedicated battalions and are brigade level assets. That is to say, a drone is useless if its not over the enemy area and it usually has one shot before its either destroyed or returns to base.
Artillery isn't like that, they will deliver accurate fire out to dozens of kilometers away. They will be supporting all the other battalions in the brigade. Imagine just one battery, usually 6 guns, firing of bursts of 4 rounds each minute. That's 24 155m shells every minute telling you to go fuck yourself. You need entire drone swarms just to match the uncontested firepower of a single artillery battery.
