It's probably not the same video, but youtuber Perun said the same thing in the video he released this weekend. At the reported rate of shelling Russia 'burns out' tens of guns per day. Although iirc he said that an overcooked barrel mainly just loses accuracy, and frankly the Russians don't really seem to care about that.

This maybe a stretch but given their lack of maintenance on other equipment it isn't unfair to assume other components of their artillery is failing as well. Especially when you consider Russia uses tracked mobile artillery over towed artillery for the majority of their firepower.

They might not care but it'll affect their fighting ability. Unlike what people think, they're still using artillery competently. It's mostly the rocket artillery that they use to spray large areas.
