Explosion of a warehouse of hundreds of rockets and thousands of missiles. A blow to Russia

The Ukrainian Armed Forces carried out the most spectacular drone attack since the outbreak of the war. Up to 100 of Ukraine’s newest jet-powered drones, called Palanytsia, hit the most advanced and the largest Russian ammunition depot in Toropets. This is a facility with a diameter of over 3,000 meters, which was built only in 2018 and on its premises 250,000 tons of rockets, missiles and explosives were stored.

The Kremlin announced that it was the safest facility of its kind in Russia and was built using world-class technologies. The construction cost was 3.6 billion rubles. The Toropets storage facility is located about 400 kilometers northwest of Moscow and It was supposed to withstand even a nuclear attackThe purpose of its creation was to wage the most effective war possible against the Alliance. That is why it was located only 230 kilometers from the nearest NATO countries.

As usual, however, reality quickly verified Vladimir Putin’s grand plans. The Ukrainian Armed Forces attacked the facility with their latest drones and achieved their intended goals. Analysts report that the Ukrainians could have manage to destroy up to 30 thousand tons of ballistic missilesMLRS shells, artillery and other explosives.

The explosion had the force of up to 1.8 kilotons of TNT and was felt at a distance of up to 300 kilometers. Seismographs in various Russian cities recorded a shock of M=3. This is the effect of the explosion of weapons stored there, including extremely dangerous ones used by the Russian army to attack Ukrainian cities. Iskander missilesNorth Korean-supplied KN-23s and Iranian Fath-360s.

This is a huge blow to the Russian army. Analysts have no doubt that the destruction of such an important for the Kremlin missile and weapons depot could seriously disrupt operations not only on the front, but would also greatly limit attacks on Ukrainian cities and will weaken anti-aircraft defense the facilities located directly on the territory of Russia, including the protection of the capital itself.

The Toropets depot was a strategic facility that housed supplies of missiles for all the air defense systems currently used by the Kremlin, namely S-300, S-400 and S-500 or Pancyr. Most importantly, bombers will also have limited access to missiles and rockets, which will result in limited combat sorties and attacks on Ukrainian positions both in Ukraine and in the Russian Kursk region.

Ukrainian devices Palanyca is the first drone equipped with a jet engine. That is why they are most often referred to as missile drones. Unfortunately, little is known about them, but they are said to offer a range of over 700 kilometers and carry a warhead weighing several hundred kilograms. The SZU recently announced that mass production of these devices has begun. We can therefore expect the Ukrainians to carry out more spectacular attacks, such as the one on the warehouse in Toropets.
