@mm8u9y7i ⚡Fun fact:
The Toropets arsenal "has 41 newer bunkers that can hold up to 240 metric tonnes of ammunition each, and 70+ sheds hold up to 120 tonnes each, not factoring large areas of open-air storage, that's over 19K metric tonnes".
Thus, the arsenal holds up to 19,000 tonnes of munitions.
The Russian army uses upwards of 10,000 - 15,000 tons of munitions per day.
So, even if Ukraine were to have destroyed the entire arsenal [it didn't], this represents a single day or two of Russian expenditures at most.
We know they didn't come close to destroying the whole thing, nor that the arsenal was even "full" at capacity.
Thus, Ukraine may have destroyed about 12 hours worth of Russian munitions expenditures in the SMO.
Gamechanger?
