The "most powerful" composition of ammunition was destroyed in Toropka. Which rockets lost the army of the Russian Federation

On September 18, the Defense Forces of Ukraine conducted a successful raid of drones for purposes in Russia. It was possible to impress the large composition of ammunition-the 107th arsenal of the Main Rocket-Artillery Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Russia in the city of Tropets of Tver region. The approximate area of ​​the composition is 7. 76 square kilometers, which could store about 30 thousand tons of different ammunition.

Without exaggeration, it is the largest arsenal of ammunition, which was struck by Ukrainian experts during the full -scale war, Publika said. Ammunition detonation is ongoing, and people on buses to the neighboring city of Western Dvina are evacuated in Toropka. Eyewitnesses publish a video of a large -scale explosion. Judging by the frame, the explosive wave knocked out windows in many residential buildings. Monitoring services recorded a weak earthquake in Toropka after attack on ammunition.

According to Volcanodiscovery, at 3. 56 in Moscow time, a magnitude of 2. 8 points was recorded. The following were seven more weak magnitude shocks from 2 to 2. 8. The Russian authorities do not confirm the destruction of a large composition of ammunition: the air defense systems allegedly worked on the territory of the part, and firefighters fought with fire, stated in the government of the region.

The Ministry of Defense of Russia declared the destruction of 54 Ukrainian drones: half were knocked down over the Kursk region, and the rest over the Bryansk, Smolensk, Belgorod and Orel regions. Military officials did not mention the attack on the Tver region. It is noteworthy that the Russian Deputy Defense Minister Dmitry Bulgakov described the rocket arsenal in Toropka as that meets the "highest world standards" for corruption. Built in 2015 for 3.

6 billion rubles Arsenal is protected from rocket strokes and will even withstand a nuclear explosion. "If you store the current arsenals with what was earlier - on open areas and in wooden storage, and today - in concrete storage, the difference will be about as follows: whether it is to walk in a bulletproof vest that protects against the defeat by bullets and fragments, or fragments, or fragments. to walk without a bulletproof vest, ”Bulgakov said.

Toropets is located in the west of the Tver region, from it to the Ukrainian border - about 500 kilometers. The drones of the SBU and the forces of defense were eliminated in Toropka with "Iskanders", "Points-U", Kabam and Artillery Ammunition. UAVs in the truest sense of the large composition of the Main Rocket-Artillery Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Russia were erased from the face, the sources of focus in special services say.

"After the arrival of Ukrainian drones, a very powerful detonation began. The local in the public were asked if it was not a nuclear bomb to them. Now" Kap "burns on the area of ​​6 kilometers wide. We work further to organize a similar picture at other military facilities , - the interlocutors say.

Later, in the General Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, they told about the lesions of the arsenal of integrated storage of missiles, ammunition and explosive materials. Significant reserves of North Korean ballistic missiles KN23, missiles to the Grad RSSU, S-300 and Iskander systems were destroyed. The rocket arsenal impressed the drones of Kamikadze of Ukrainian production, in the attack involved more than a hundred percussion UAVs.

Numerous explosions occurred on the territory of the arsenal, followed by the detonation of the ammunition. "Under our sight, every step of the occupier, every enemy arsenal, including the latest," super -protected. The figure of 30 thousand tons of ammunition at the 107th arsenal of Grau in the Tver region at first glance looks abstract. Military expert Oleksandr Kovalenko explained the loss of Russians in ammunition on the example of 122 mm jet shells to the RSSU and 82 mm mines.

If we talk about 122 mm jet shells, it is more than 460 thousand shots. Given the frequency of use of RSSS in the fighting area, it is a stock for 10 months of active fighting or more than a year at average intensity. In the case of mines, the figure is even higher - up to 10 million shots or a stock for more than a year and a half. "You can imagine the extent of losses even in a mixed type of ammunition. You can not extinguish all this detonating non-stop.

I think, they will do as oil depots: until it burns, they will be observed from afar at the display of the ammunition," the expert said. It should be noted that on September 7, 2024, the SBU drones struck the ammunition in the village of Soldativska Voronezh region of Russia, where there were also North Korean missiles.

According to the reserve colonel, the expector of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vladislav Seleznev, the Russian military has 13 large warehouses with ammunition, as in Toropovka. "Why these warehouses are worn only in the third year of the Great War - a mystery. Although it is better late than never. The figure is 30,000 tons - astronomical. All this turned into ashes and no longer fly to the heads .

Seleznyov is convinced that Ukrainian intelligence officers have detailed information about other Russian warehouses and nomenclature of shells. To hide such large stocks underground or to transport it to another place just will not work: for transportation of 30,000 tons will take years. "Of course, in Moscow, some decisions will be made on the basis of today's arrival, but the timing is not tomorrow. The enemy received a serious slap this night," the expert summed up.

Focus has already wrote how the advantage of the Russian army in resources made it possible for the occupiers to move in the Toretsk-Pokrovsky direction. The co -founder of the Deepstate project Roman Pogorely described the difference in approaches to the war in allies of Russia and Ukraine. The head of the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Kirill Budanov previously called the most dangerous military ally of Russia.
