What happened to all the stories of Russia having a hundred years supply of shells. Artillery shells have to be properly stored. Russians store artillery shells outside.
Storage and transportation of ammunition in Russian army - 2010
Not long ago, there were explosions in the arsenals of Udmurtia and Bashkortostan. Currently, the storage and transportation of ammunition in Russian army often violate all sorts of safety rules.
Here is just one example of open storage of shells. There are about 90 railroad cars of 125 mm high-explosive shells in this dump. Not surprising that something always explodes in such storages. Photos from Yaplakal.com

Great post looks a lot like their “reserves” of tanks. A bit like looking at a junk yard and counting all those cars as “in storage”. I guess my point is about all this back and forth about just about everything as if either side has facts. How many stories did we see about the Russians will basically never run out of shells because they have so many and then you see these pictures and stories about buying shells from NK…. But one side claims nearly unlimited shells and if you question you are called a troll or shill for Ukraine. Like this is some kind of sporting event and no fouls called on my team are right. As an observation if you thought Russian was this mighty juggernaut at the very least that has to be questioned
Thanks for the great post
