Toropets Satellite Imagery Shows Damage to Missile Storage
Video Summary
Ukraine’s strike on a Russian ammunition storage facility, known as Tet, has left a significant impact on the region. Satellite imagery has revealed the extent of the damage, with at least two hardened concrete bunkers destroyed, possibly resulting in the destruction of 30,000 tons of ammunition. The aftereffects of the strike show extensive smoke and flames, making it difficult to determine if more structures were hit. The use of open storage for ammunition, rather than secure bunkers, likely contributed to the destruction.
The Ukrainian air force is suspected to have used a Palencia jet-powered drone, which has a range of around 200 kilometers, to carry out the strike. The accuracy and success of the mission are notable, given the challenge of bypassing Russia’s air defense systems.
In a separate development, Ukraine has also been targeting Russian ammunition dumps, with multiple strikes reported in the region of Marup. Satellite imagery reveals the extent of the damage, with evidence of artillery shells and other debris scattered across the area.
The impact of these strikes on Russian operations in the region is yet to be determined, but they are likely to have a significant effect on the military’s ability to maintain supplies and support their troops. The Ukrainian military has been actively targeting Russian ammunition storage facilities, and it’s possible that this tactic will continue in the coming days and weeks.
