"Unprecedented explosions in military history”: Defense Express on ammunition depot destruction in Russia's Tver region

He stated this on Espreso TV.

“There is no accurate data to analyze what exactly the Russians were storing in the warehouse in Tver. There are various reports about the types of ammunition stored there. The Center for Countering Disinformation mentioned that North Korean KN-23 ballistic missiles might have been present. Other sources, including the Security Service of Ukraine, suggested that Tochka-U missiles could have been stored there. While the Russians no longer produce these missiles, they are manufactured in North Korea. For now, it is best to wait until the initial excitement from such a powerful explosion subsides before analyzing all the data,” Kyrychevskyi explained.

According to the expert, the ammunition from the 107th arsenal of Russia’s Main Missile and Artillery Directorate is intended for the Russian troop group in the Kursk region.

"Perhaps there has never been an explosion like this in the history of the world's military. The explosions at the ammunition depot in the Tver region even caused an earthquake. If you analyze events from the First World War, the explosion at Kyiv Fortress in 1918, and even during the Second World War, nothing like this happened with ammunition depots. Moreover, if we consider the importance of the 107th arsenal of the Main Missile and Artillery Directorate to the Russian military, there is information suggesting that this particular depot was responsible for supplying the Russian forces operating in the Kursk region. This is why all of this ammunition could theoretically have been intended for use against our military," he emphasized.

• In the early hours of September 18, a drone attack triggered a fire and explosions at an ammunition depot in Toropets, Tver region. Authorities have ordered a partial evacuation of the area.
