Epic detonations at a Russian munitions depot in the Tver region following yet another Ukrainian drone attack. Russian authorities have announced “partial evacuation” of the city of Toropets. The depot can have up to around 30,000 tons of munitions in store.
Each of the warehouses could accommodate 240 tons of ammunition, media reports
That is, there could potentially be about 30,000 tons of various ammunition in the arsenal of the BC warehouse in Toropka. Including 122-mm rockets for BM-21 “Grad”, 82-mm mines, ammunition
The explosion registered as a 2.8M earthquake by seismic GEOFON Station Vasula, Estonia.
with a blast like that the “partial evacuation”was instantly performed
That’s a lot of munitions gone and a lot of Ukrainian lives saved ! Good job Ukraine 👍👌
Insane, gg to the drone pilot.
This is probably the biggest Munition burst in the whole war against Ruzzia ! Here it blows up and go—hopefully a big part of the Munition delivery from Iran, North Korea and other Putler Suporters is vaporized ! Slava Ukraini— Heroiam Slava
Just another day in Mordor 🤣
really pretty fireworks. what are they celebrating?
by “partial evacuation” they mean half the people in town shit themselves
Watching the immense shockwave approach, I’d be face down in a hole, not chatting with my buds.
It warms my heart! Slava Ukraini!
Nice
I love a good bonfire. 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇦
The best way for Iranian missiles to explode. Fucking themselves.
I don’t know if there is anything else comparable.
it looks like a nuke, woah
that’s a lot of gunpowder etc.
🎶And the rockets’ red glare,
🎶 The bombs bursting in Tver…..
Too bad the drone got intercepted and fell on that munitions depot. Imagine the kind of damage it could have done if the glorious Russian defences didn’t work. /s
“Can have”? “Could have” you mean?
What a glorious gift from Ukraines warriors
Ah, Mordor at night. So lovely.
Holy fucking shit. That’s huge, both explosions wise and for Ukraine. Nice fucking work!!!
I wonder how Magyar would describe this… Big Bada Boom just kinda isnt boom enough.
Anyone care to speculate what percentage of the Russian ammunition went up in flames that night it could be a real roigh guess.

That looks way larger than the Beirut explosion

Seems to take way longer for the shockwave to dissipate. But hard to tell if it’s something like fog making it more visible.

1.1 kilotons explosion.

Why would someone store munitions above ground?!
