Ammunition availability can make all the difference in a war, but only if it makes it to the troops on the front, rather than being destroyed in storage.
Over the course of several days, Ukraine recently succeeded in striking two Russian GRAU arsenals deep in Russian territory and a separate depot and storage facility, causing massive destruction and destroying thousands or tens of thousands of tonnes of Russian munitions.
In this episode I ask how long-range drones were able to destroy what were meant to be, in many cases, hardened targets, why the bases may have suffered the damage they did, and what this may all mean for the war going forward.
Dear Mr. Zelenskyy...my home and all my possessions were just wiped off the face of the earth this past Friday morning. Since Americans have given you somewhere north of 600 BILLION, I was wondering if you would consider a donation of a mere $25,000 to help me and my wife get back on our feet. A cashier’s check would be fine. Thanks in advance.
prayers up...
For Z’s check? J/k...thank you.
“Over the course of several days, Ukraine recently succeeded in striking two Russian GRAU arsenals deep in Russian territory and a separate depot and storage facility, causing massive destruction and destroying thousands or tens of thousands of tonnes of Russian munitions.”
More good news. They’re doing so well without them; they don’t need our long-range missiles now. Less risk of war with Russia.

ransomnote:
"They’re doing so well without them; they don’t need our long-range missiles now."
Translation: "The west refused to help Ukraine fire long range missiles into Russia to get the United States into direct warfare with Russia, despite Zelensky's attempts to beg them into doing it. Therefore, we've decided we don't need them."
Someone should tell Zelensky because he wasted everyone's time begging for them.
