Valerii Riabykh, military expert, development director of the Defense Express media and consulting company, told how many Russian ammunition depots are within reach of Ukrainian weapons

He told about it on Espreso TV channel. 

“According to analysts, there are about 2 dozen such arsenals in the Russian Federation, and most of them are located in the Urals. Our researchers have estimated that there are about 7 such arsenals within the hypothetical reach of Ukrainian weapons. This is in addition to the already destroyed 23rd arsenal (in the Tver region - ed.), which is, let's say, closer to the 107th arsenal (in Toropets - ed.) - and these are two arsenals that have already been destroyed,” he said.

The military expert suggests that the Russia's ammunition depots, which are being reached by Ukrainian weapons, may be destroyed in the near future. 

“There is the 13th arsenal in the Novgorod region, there are two arsenals around Moscow, the 51st arsenal of the Main Missile and Artillery Directorate (GRAU - ed.) near the city of Kirzhach in the Vladimir region, the 73rd arsenal of the GRAU in the Vladimir region. And there is a large arsenal, the 67th arsenal of the GRAU in the Bryansk region. And the 68th arsenal is also quite large, which is used to supply the occupation forces, located near the city of Mozdok in North Ossetia. These are probably the arsenals that have a high probability of being destroyed in the near future,” added Valerii Riabykh. 

  • Last week, large-scale fires broke out in the Rostov region and in the Moscow region, loud explosions were heard at Russian ammunition depots, and drones were spotted in a number of Russian regions.
