Russian arms depot vaporised in 'one of the largest' strikes of Ukraine war

"This attack appears to be one of the largest in terms of numbers of drones used and its impact"

Ukraine's strike on a weapons depot deep into Russia was highly damaging in part due to 'incompetent' storage of ammunition, RUSI's Dr Matthew Savill tells Frontline on #timesradio

A world without Putin is getting closer.

Newest satellite photos shows over 60 bunkers and warehouses totally to be about 90% of all ammo is gone now....and the few bunkers/buildings not destroyed may have been empty...so this maybe a 100% success rate!

Putin must be in a constant state of paranoia and dread. Good.

[miroslavobranovic]

The Russians are to blame for the warehouse explosion, human negligence that Ukraine used to its advantage at the best moment

[coxhoe]

russia hits a hospital, ukraine hits a munitions depot, russia hits a school, ukraine hits an airfield.there is no question to who is going to win

[robertpatrick]

30, 000 tones of munitions at say 40$ a kilo ….. best part of 1 Bn $……. Ignoring the cost of the base etc

Russia will eventually run out of Soviet era equipment (2026?). Russia will also eventually run out of Siberians.

Victory to Ukraine. Time for Russians to retire Putin like they retired Gorbachev and Krushchev.

Thanks Kate for the super support you give to this horrible war that is being brought on by Russia

[blaberus]

Shame "depot" didn't read "despot".

[jimjones]

The explosion looked like a second sun...Russian trolls, it was just a truck that went on fire in the depot everything is fine.

[blakewu]

Alas, for a second seeing Purim’s face I read the headline as “Russian despot destroyed”! 😩

[BW-fifd]

To better this world is going to take more than a madman. Lock Putin up and throw away the keys.

[stephenr]

Putin can replace numbers of soldiers but that doesn't account for dilution of quality. 2000 raw recruits against 100 commandos (SAS, Seals, J2F etc.) guess who survives?

[SteveW-uztk]

About 1/10 of their inventory destroyed in this strike

[tomarmstrong]

The West having supplied Ukraine with effective weapons, and then to apply restrictions on their effectiveness is madness. Putin respects strength and despises timidity.

[rockbutcher]

I think that the Ukrainians should name their next model of long range drone/cruise missile "Falling Debris."

RT news: Our anti-air systems engaged the targets and the base was hit by falling debris.
Ukraine: Exactly! 🤣

The west - "It's simply horrible what Russia's doing! We must help Ukraine!!"
Ukraine - "Gee, that'd sure be nice, ya know. This would've all been over by now if you did!"

The west - "But oh my, we're just SO worried about escalation!"
Ukraine - "What escalation, you morons??!! He's fighting with scraps and gone begging for other scraps. Are you all bloody mad??!!"

The west - "Sooo worried! Can't you just find a way to surrend.... I mean talk peace so we don't have to keep answering hard questions here in our safe countries? It's awfully stressful, you know, and we're scared we might lose votes. You wouldn't want us to lose votes, would you?"

03.01 "we don't have deep, in-depth knowledge of the depot..." YES WE DO! Russia released various videos promoting how advanced this weapons and munition storage unit was and that it could withstand a nuclear blast. Dr. Savill has lived in the cloistered world of the Civil Service for too long. You can do better, Times Radio.

Russian depot vapourised. Wen Ruzzian Despot vapourised?
