Details: On the night of September 20-21, 2024, Ukrainian troops struck Russian ammunition depots in Tykhoretsk and another facility in Toroptsk in the Tver region with the help of drones, British intelligence recalls. This followed an earlier successful strike on another warehouse in Toropka on September 18, which almost certainly destroyed at least 30,000 tons of ammunition in open and bunker storage.
“These strikes will almost certainly cause at least short-term interruptions in the supply of Russian artillery ammunition and ammunition for small arms, critical resources in the war of attrition,” the department notes, adding that the total tonnage of ammunition destroyed at the three sites is the largest loss of Russian and North Korean ammunition during the war.
According to British intelligence, these powerful strikes, carried out in quick succession, demonstrate that, despite the fact that Russia has deployed an extensive multi-layered air defense system (including fighter jets) around Ukraine, it continues to fight Ukrainian UAVs used in mission operations deep strikes on the territory of Russia.
“It is very likely that this will lead to further decentralization in the Russian logistics chain due to fear of additional strikes, increasing the burden on an already stretched system,” the review said.
In Estonia, it was previously stated that the successful airstrikes of Ukraine to destroy the military depots of the Russian army should begin to affect the front line already in October.
British intelligence had previously stated that the destruction of a huge Russian ammunition depot in Toropka would affect the operations of Russian forces, in particular in the Kursk region.
