I wonder if UKF drones are used to saturate RU air defense.
Then Stormshadows are sent to kick off the secondary explosions.

“What is this, a nuclear mushroom?” The enemy attacked 2 more large ammunition depots
In the Tikhoretsky district of the Krasnodar Territory last night, the enemy attacked an ammunition warehouse with drones. In the village of Kamenny, a large arsenal came under attack. It is noteworthy that the ammunition was stored in the open air.
But that’s not all. The 23rd GRAU arsenal in the village of Oktyabrsky, Tver Region, was also attacked. Alas, there was a lot of ammunition there too without any protection.
We managed to contact one of the commanders who was guarding the arsenal in the Krasnodar region.
“I won’t lie - when the drone hit, we were all freaked out. One of the locals called me and asked: ‘Is this a nuclear mushroom?’ The scale of the fire and detonation couldn’t be more serious,” said an eyewitness to the incident.
It is too early to talk about the scale of losses in the warehouses, but at least several military personnel are listed as missing. According to sources, the warehouses contained shells for large-caliber artillery, KABs, and missiles for MLRS. The information is being clarified.
Let us add on our own behalf - if those responsible for such careless storage of ammunition are not punished, we may lose serious reserves. It’s time to sort out the situation. It is obvious that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have set a course for the destruction of large warehouses in our rear.
“Then Stormshadows are sent”...
That may be part of what we are seeing - Ukraine authorized to strike into Russia with them, before there is any public announcement.
Kyiv Independent reports:
“The United States may send Ukraine medium-range missiles for F-16 fighter jets as part of its latest military aid package, Politico reported on Sept. 20, citing unnamed U.S. officials.
The U.S. is expected to announce a $375 million military assistance package for Kyiv next week, Reuters reported earlier on Sept. 20. The package represents the largest tranche of U.S. military aid for Ukraine since May 2024.
A medium-range glide bomb known as the Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW) might be included in the new package, officials told Politico. The missile can cover a distance of over 70 miles.
The contents of the package have not been finalized and are subject to change, the officials said.
Reuters earlier reported that the U.S. would likely send patrol boats, ammunition for high-mobility artillery rocket systems (HIMARS), artillery shells, and spare parts as part of the latest round of military assistance...
...the 70-mile (JSOW) range would allow F-16 pilots to keep their distance from the front lines and Russian air defense systems.”
