Holy fucksickles.
That’s not far off the size of the Beirut explosion a few years back.
Scarier if you think about the fact that all those munitions should have been stored in bunkers that would stop a giant explosion like that…
every munition that exploded there can’t kill any innocent Ukraine civilians. Hopefully this will put a dent in the Russian’s ability to blow shit up
Some of the videos on Reddit are just insane. Big W for Ukraine. This has got to be by far the biggest ammo dump they’ve targeted. They’ve target ammo dumps in the past, but not to this extent. The explosions have been seen from space!
Comined with This latest report that shows just how quickly Russia are chewing theough their reserve artillery stocks. I’ve seen credible sources state come February/March next year they Russians will barely have enough WWII era artillery pieces to not even replace, but repair existing stocks.
I honestly think Ukraine needs to hold out for another 12 months max. Short or Iran and North Korea declaring war on Ukraine and them sending troops and equipment on a full war scale, I can’t see Russia being able to continue at the rate they are.
Further combined with this ammo dump hit, thats surely going to be a massive thron in their side. You can’t just produce 300 tons of ammo with the rate they are going through it.
As of the 12rh September.
Ukraine hasn’t gone much further, and it look like Russia has tried to counterattack in the bottom left, but I’m not sure Ukraine’s worried about encorclement.
So satellite imagery suggests that large amounts of ordinance in the ammo dump were stored outside, next to, the concrete bunkers that were designed to shield them. The town has been evacuated, Russia is claiming a smile fire occurred after a drone was shot down. Locals are saying their windows have been destroyed, people outside stating their eardrums have burst at the time of the explosion. The actual explosion is visible from space and registered 2.8 on the Richter scale.
At the same time, Romania is officially demanding a NATO response to Russia’s continuous violation of Romanian airspace. It’s a really interesting one this one. Romania needs to change its laws as they don’t have any laws that detail responses to unmanned drones. Officially, if a manned aircraft violates its’ airspace, they’re required to question the aircraft, warn them, fire warning shots and only engage if there’s a chance that they may pose a threat to Romania. In this case, they cannot do any of this, as they can start the sequence in communication.
I saw the video of that. Proper Comical Ali vibes to it.
They way they treat the storage of such a large ammo dump has me worried about the safety of their nuclear weapons storage.
I’m hoping both the US and Ukraine know the locations of their nukes, because otherwise a raid like, and the accidental detonation of a Nuke…
…yeah, lets hope they know where they are.
Ha i just rewatched it with sound on. You can literally here the shells exploding in the background as they say everything is under control
BBC reporting that they’ve confirmed a minimum number of 70,000 Russians killed from the start of the war. The actual number will definitely be significantly higher as these are only the ones that can be confirmed through either social media, obituaries or cemetery leases. This doesn’t count individuals that are MIA believed dead, in Luhansk, Donetsk or others.
In terms of estimates, BBC suggests the Russian number would actually lie between 100,000-140,000 dead with total losses around 610,000. Ukraine is thought to have lost 70,000 killed and 100,000 wounded. Although if you believe Russia, they’re claiming to have killed 500,000 Ukrainians…
I wouldn’t be surprised if the total dead is much higher than that.
Were in day 908 or there abouts of the war, and the Russians have been reported to be having about 1,000+ KIA most days for the last year at least.
The Russian standard of battlefield casualty care hasn’t really changed much in over 100 years. A high percentage of their wounded probably aren’t making it off the battlefield. Those that are lucky enough to make it to a field hospital, or even Medivaced back to Russia /Behind the lines are not going to be receiving high levels of care.
The Russian military doesn’t have a no man left behind motto. There are more than enough videos of wounded Russian POWs telling tales of Russian commanders ordering wounded soldiers to basically be finished off.
Plenty of POWs amazed that the Ukranians are treating Russian wounded with high levels of care.
With Russia still deploying mobile crematoriums to the battlefields, and a lot of commanders writing KIAs off as ‘deserters’, I wouldn’t be surprised if Russia is around the 500,000 KIA mark by now.
Some reports saying the conscripts taken from Russian prisons also won’t be counted as battlefield losses.
Long but very worthwhile read, explains why Russia’s army is the mess it is.
Thanks for posting that, amazing read, even if I’ve now stayed up too late cause I couldn’t leave it 
Just did the same. Great read
Wow that was a harrowing read.
I mean it’s everything I had heard and worse. It also confirms one thing. Russia cannot win this war.
Say if people want to shag at work/home during lunch but without the baby conception thing. Is that cool Vlad?
Wish Albo would approve something like this.
