This result is very IMPRESSIVE!...
The fact that they could successfully hit so many bunkers even with those large elevated berms covering all the doors on the front entrances implies whatever Ukraine made use of is incredibly accurate. Could they actually have been able to track the munition in with it clearing over the berm??
Something tells me these munitions did not actually clear the protective berms at all but have deep penetrator warheads?
In any event, Russia spent years constructing that facility and it is now known that this design is next to useless.
Wow.
indeed! It looks as if the hits went through the bunker roofs - Taurus would achieve this, and maybe it's just the shady russian concrete, but I tend to give credit to the new Ukrainian weapons, which are crazy impressive!
If those hardened bunkers were built properly then you'd need a fairly large penetrating warhead like the 2000lb BLU-109 to reliably punch through the roof or the blast doors and detonate the munitions inside. Given the reports of corruption and stolen money from the construction of this weapons depot, the shelters might have been so badly built that even regular bombs and missiles could penetrate them. I think the Ukrainian drones have relatively small warheads (tens of kilos) compared to something like a Tomahawk which can carry a bunker-busting warhead, so they shouldn't have been able to penetrate those shelters if they were constructed properly.
Another possibility is incompetence - maybe they weren't bothering to keep the blast doors on the shelters closed (assuming they were even blast doors in the first place rather than some thin sheet metal).
thats russia, the most likely explanation is through corruption and negligence the facility was not as structurally protected as designed.
every time this natsi state so much as gets a cracker chip bite, the hounds come out and start praising like it's the second coming of christ 😅 guys you can relax
The general that was responsible for building of this specific bunker has been taken into custody and is under investigation for corruption for the last like 3 or 2 months. It's a widely reported fact that obviously this specific facility was built badly.
Surprising it took them 3 months to finally figure out it was compromised if anything. It wasn't some special weapon, it was a basic drone that caused whatever supplies were inside to cook off and go off.😅
But here's the aomple truth. Ok maybe inside there was some 150-200 tons of explosives. So what? This is a drop in a bucket.
Today according to western sources russia alone outproduces all of nato put together in artillery, rockets and whatever. You celebrating that you little rats😢?
As an ex bombhead, who worked in many weapon storage areas, I find the devastation caused by this strike to be fascinating. I suspect that these so-called hardened bunkers were no such thing. It looks like the hand of corruption had a play here. Probably most of the money is in some oligarchs pocket rather than in reinforced concrete. Many western bomb storage areas are built to withstand a nuclear blast, not so much here. Hardly enough to withstand a fart from fido.
Never get, “bored,” of Ukrainian victories, my friend. Especially when you’re sharing new information. Thank you.
This strike is not going to change the war that much, this is only 1 depot and Russian production is still going. You might be looking at the last of the victories because what is happening on the front line is sadly not playing out well for Ukraine. This also shows they can hit targets inside Russia without longer range missiles. Kind of destroys the hope they have of using long range weapons.
After the General Syrskyi CNN interview last week and him saying they can only supply 4 out of 12 brigades, man shortages, and the biggest issue was he said they were training men for 6 weeks or less. The less part is scary.
If you can't win at the front, you can't win a war. It's that simple.
LOL @ Victory
Amazing! Any shell not exploded must be super sketchy to handle after all the heat and shock hitting them!
exactly, you can't use Anything from that base now
Worry not! Private Conscriptovich can handle it, Comrade!
@@quaipauColonel Corruptovich just declared everything safe
I'm not sure that shell is cold enough to pick up yet Vlad?

I just woke up and hoped for an updated video of Toropets! Thank you Suchomimus! You'll always be my favorite dinosaur. 💙💛💙💛💙💛
cheers, thanks for watching
Never lose your dinosaur!
Have you guys seen the video of the governor of the region saying everything was under control, while you can hear the popcorn still going in the background 😂
Sucho had that part in his second vid on Toropets
Edit: it was wonderfull 😊
He looked rather glum.
Yeah, joke of the day! Popping like hell in the background! 😂 "-We shot down ALL of the drones!" As per usual...
Lil bro is going to fall out of a window
It reminded me of 'never work with children or animals'. Or near Russian munitions storage facilities...🤣
Bearing in mind Hiroshima was a 15 kT bomb and the capacity of this dump was 30 kT, it kind of explains both the seismic signature of the strike, and the mushroom cloud.
Those blasts were estimated to be around 1.8kT, so definitely in the same ball park as a small nuke
@@xaiano794 looks like it dethrone the N1 launch failure! One of the biggest non-nuclear explosion in history!
@@Damien.DI thought the Halifax explosion was the largest non nuclear explosion in history?
@TristanLane520 it is currently behind the Halifax explosion, but this is certainly one of the largest as it is even bigger than the blasting charges of ripple rock which was 1.3kT
This is an initial estimate of course and could be revised up or down as we collate more data
@@xaiano794 damn, puts into perspective how big that ship explosion was though... 👀
NOT getting bored with Ukraine doing brilliant work, not getting bored with your detailed analysis at all! Contrary: we want more, but I guess you dedicate an extraordinary amount of time to this channel, you have to take care of yourself as well! 😊👍🇳🇱
I follow some of the Ukrainian journalists who include Russian Z-blog posts in their presentations. There is a lot of griping among Russian nationalists that this site was poorly constructed and plundered by corruption during construction.
So typical class Russian workmanship
Russian corruption has been Ukraine's unseen supporter, undermining the Russian military from the inside, and operating on every level.
Military competence and effectiveness has been destroyed, replaced by false reports and unfit personnel in roles they are neither qualified for nor able to perform in.
Instances like the docunented two million winter uniforms, when someone went to collect some, they discovered that not a single uniform existed, despite all of the confirmed military storage records of there being two million available.
Putin, the chief thief, installed thieves like himself to plunder the state at every level, and after twenty years, there's nothing available when it's needed for war!
The FSB stole countless millions of dollars by falsely claiming to have established a covert force right across Ukraine that would rise up when Russia invaded.
They never existed other than in the funding requests to set up, operate and equip them that FSB agents used to get the money they stole.
These are just two examples of how the corruption destroyed the Russian military capability even before the invasion began...
Because of the nuclear deterrent , Russia never thought the motherland would ever be attacked. Contractors cheaply made military infrastructure and stole the leftover money.
@@capnbly They steal from top to bottom, corruption everywhere , it's why they'll never amount to anything!
@@capnbly you mean it was built with leftover money, not the leftover was stolen, big difference 😁
Don't think the bunkers weren the problem. The hundreds of tons of North Korean ammunition just dumped in front of them might have been though. They took "ammo dump" literally.
What a crazy irony that North Korean munitions could have assisted with the chain reaction.
Possibly they didn’t clean up their chems as good as might be done, resulting in less stability???
what if there was some equipment that malfunctioned suddenly, you know, like the pagers and walkie talkies the same day, just in another country
@@dsfs17987 the russians do love contraband - maybe mossad can teach Ukraine how to help them out!
they definetly took a dump. At safety, that is. Oh well. Thats so russian I guess..
If I was a worker at another big Russian ammunition depot I'd be very, very worried.
Hush! Don't say this! There is nothing to worry about. It is also safe to work at oil refineries.
Time to defect.....
@@ErnestroSurname If I was a worker at ANY Russian facility aiding the army: oil refinery, airfield, tank factory, ammo factory, bot factory...
What a stunning accomplishment by Ukraine! Thank you for persevering with your analysis. Cheers from Toronto.
The blast wave from the big explosion in the hardened bunker section was absolutely massive. Any personnel not killed by the initial explosion would probably have been killed by the sheer pressure of the blast wave.
True, and think of the flying debris that was hurled outwards by those immense blasts. I doubt there were ANY survivors.
Pictures shown indicate some civilian structures a few Km away had their window frames and attached small wall, cave inward into the home.
@@taras3702 the dreaded debris strikes again!
200 people alledgely used to work there.... Emphasis on "used to"... 🤯🤯🤯
I wonder if that's what caused the roofs to collapse? my experience with this type of bunker in the US is that they're incredibly hard and reinforced, so these are obviously different. What's Russian for Tofu Dreg?
Getting BORED with them? Sucho, believe me - Toropets videos are fast replacing Bridges as my favorite Satellite views!
This Toropets strike will play out in real lives
Real lives in Russia lost, and real lives in Ukraine saved!
Someday this will be a miniseries with many facts reveled.
Russian Federation be like: Lets build a colossal ammo dump smack in the middle of several towns.
Sucho, I just LOVED this detailed look.
My only complaint? I ran out of popcorn only halfway through my second viewing!
Get some custard cream biscuits then.

Every little daily detail presented gives me hope for Ukraine's liberty.
Putler said the fall of Russia was the worst day in the world...just when one thinks a lot can happen with a "Special Military Operation" Plan too....
The Ukraine lost all Liberty the moment they let the americans in

The silver lining being they now have more space for parking and outside storage! Gotta love that.

Give them the same unsafe feeling, hopefully the country stand up against the government.
I'll take a whiskey with mine 😉
Propaganda has brainwashed a high percentage of citizens around the world. They are willfully ignorant people that stand for nothing. I support Ukraine a %100 I'm voting out Putin's puppets this November. Thank you Ukraine for defending democracy
That's some ACURATE debris!
And able to pierce reinforced concrete.
15 did NOT survive. The birm has impact marks on the side facing the door and there is debris scattered between the door and the birm. Likely its blonw out the front.
29 also is fully destroyed, the side slopes have been flattened by an internal implosion
32 has 2 big holes in its roof, suggesting ammunitions cooked off and penetrated through the roof
33 is at least damaged if not fully penetrated
38 is gone, just the baseplate is remaining (birms have been flattened)
39 is had the same issue as 32, several gaping holes in the top suggesting a severe blowout but no collapse
Agree with your analysis on almost every point - well done.
Fingers crossed. Probably new pictures tomorrow that can tell us more, maybe a bit less smoke 🤣
Russia: "We destroyed the incoming drones, that is just fires and smoke from.
Falling debris. "
You said in one of your earlier videos, Ukraine needs to name a new drone falling debris.
Looks like Ukraine's new falling debris drone is quite accurate.
Excellent analysis! It is thee best one this year. And I agree it was a jet drone strike. You can clearly hear the jet compressor in one video just before it struck. Well done!
Perhaps these warehouses were full of pagers?
And walkie talkies...
Your videos are always worthwhile sir. This one goes straight to the top of your Greatest Hits list!
thanks very much. I enjoyed putting this together
Greatest hits indeed!
Bingo 🎉
@@suchomimus9921bet you were smiling! Take care.

Excellent work job both, UAF for the strike and you for the report. I was waiting for your update
Thanks for the preview of the new apartment complexes to be built on Toropets Estates, home of very secure dwellings for Moscow's elite. Guaranteed safe and secure from all falling drone pieces!
Thank you Suchomimus 🇸🇪💞🇺🇦
Professor Brian Cox will refer to this as the second big bang. 😊
Superb job on breaking this down for us, thank you!👍
I don't think that the doors were left open. I think, like windows 4km away, they were hugely blown out 'You were only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!'.
Loved the original "The Italian Job" 👍

Not just any debris, debris from Ukraine!
They seem to have left the doors open
We’ll never get bored by your reports. Very interesting topic and details. Thank you!
Having run warehouses, I'll add this:
Even if there is intact stuff in the remainig places, you'll have to clear roads,EOD, find working forklifts, unblock doors, find somebody alive who knows where things are stored...and have surviving communication for somebody to ask for it (and then some...).
Very happy it's not my job.
absolutely terrific in every sense of the word.
Suggestion: you showed a clear picture of the untouched whole area in the beginning of your vid. Now, show that overview again at the end with the red crosses inserted. Gives a good overview.
Video itself is very well done and good news!
Excellent work! Thanks for posting your research.
Can't get enough of this too. I'm sure there's military specialists all over the world watching in awe the success of this operation. I hear there was around 100 drones? Makes sense given the number of clusters. Great video too 👍🏻👍🏻
I'm guessing they are dragging these guys around from project to project to work their magic on those too, and quite likely they can make any request they want
The USAF or any other military with a halfway competent Air Force would have completely leveled this base, even more than the ukrainians did, But on day 1 or 2 of the conflict, not year 2. But thats interesting if true, that means they definitely put a lot of resources into leveling this base. They really wanted it destroyed
Bunker BINGO! I like this new game! 💙💛🔱🌻
you playing for lines or corners?
@@jukeseyable: Everything, naturally. 😉
@@jukeseyableearthquakes
Exactly ! 😂
Good one. I'm remembering my Irish grandmother she loved bingo at her church.
Some of the hardened bunkers around the 7 min to 8 min mark that looked to be opened may not have been emptied. There's a possibility that overpressure from the larger explosions that created those large craters blew the doors in. The initial explosion that created the massive mushroom cloud in the videos would've been enough if they weren't heavily armored bunker doors. The shockwaves from that one were quite visible.
Without doubt the most enjoyable presentation you have ever done , simply wonderful what a strike wow !
You nearly lost me at Custard creams, but fully redeemed yourself with the "cosplaying as the Moskva" line.
I only had a packet of maryland minis. Woefully inadequate! Next time warn me I'll get a double pack of chocolate digestives! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Awesome vid, I'm certainly not bored, more please 👍 Can't think of anything better than watching destroyed Russian gear commentated by Suchomimus 🇦🇺❤🇺🇦
Maybe these roofs haven't collapsed but entered the turret toss competition? 🤔

Budanov said a few days ago they had been tracking the delivery of the NK missiles and shells 😁
Makes sense - once the acquisition of N. Korean shell deliveries became public knowledge, the job of tracking the movement of such a massive delivery would have been relatively easy.

Excellent. The update I was looking forward to. Not remotely bored of Toropets videos!
These bunkers were designed to withstand a nuclear explosion.
I wonder if they skimped on the design and materials when building it. Surely not
AFAIK they guy responsible for the modernisation got sacked on corruption charges
@@heyho4770 Do say chap?

Thanks a lot, that is awsome!!!😊😊😊
No one was giving me any equitable information as to what 30,000 tons of munitions looks like, so I did some math. This is equal to the weight of 600,000 artillery shells. Russia fires 10,000 a day. In other words this is simply 2 months of artillery. Or put more simply, NO BIG DEAL. So what if they have to cut back to 8000 a day. The impact of this loss in other words is not substantial. Now we are not talking about the loss of artillery shells at this particular site, the end result really is not going to change the end game. But yes, it did help.
That’s some copium right there.
And you wonder why you’re single.
Nice summary.
Plus the fuel refineries and storage
It would be great if there were any footage from security cameras etc from the near by settlements...
Excellent report, the best on Tube.
And it's all only debris, imagine what would happen if the drones actually managed to hit it 😱
And this all done by Ukraine alone. Just imagine what kind of damage a Western power could have done. Ruzzian nationalists are delusional thinking they could take on NATO.
Not fair quoting Russian State TV propagandists😂

Bunker 9 must have been the Earth shaker 💀
Ukrainian intelligence and accuracy are superb
30,000 tons of explosives is 30 kilotons. The Hiroshima bomb was around 16 kilotons. No wonder it registered as earthquakes.

Now we are not talking about the loss of artillery shells at this particular site, the end result really is not going to change the end game. But yes, it did help.
Those hardened bunkers would not have contained ordinary artillery shells. Soviet doctrine was to pile those kinds of munitions up outside or at most under tin roofed sheds with no sides - exactly what was shown in the before satellite images of the largest section of this base. The hardened bunkers were for valuable missiles, such as Iskander. Russia can only make a handful of them a month, since production is very specialised and cannot be scaled up. So it's possible that many months worth of missile production was destroyed.
It is still a massive deal to have lost 2 months of ammunition to a cheap and simple attack THAT THEY CAN'T PREVENT HAPPENING AGAIN 😂
And as it wasn't just cheap artillery shells, but rather also expensive AA missiles, cruise missiles, etc it becomes a massive blow to Russia.
You are right though that Russia has so many massive blows and failures every week that they've become desensitised to it and there'll be another massive disaster for Russia along next month that'll distract them from this one 🇷🇺🤡
We saw them piling ammunition outside, between the buildings. It may have had more then 30kt of ammunition.
I'd call it a significant loss.
You need to try much harder, you don't sound in the least believable, Ivan!
Not bored at all. I actually made a cup of tea just before starting this video and then lo and behold you mentioned it. I don't have any biscuits unfortunately.

Toropets has ceased to be. The Norwegian sesmometers heard it pining for the fjords.
Excellent work, by both Ukraine doing the damage, and by you, attempting to analyse it for the public.
I wonder which storage unit gave the mushroom cloud we saw on video? A hardened structure could act like a big container for the explosives.
I have said elsewhere, a GDP based on things that go Boom in short order is not a real world GDP.
I think someone posted a triangulation on xitter, and it was the moon-crater concrete bunker in the middle of section A. Can't vouch for the correctness of the calculation, though
@@quaipau Seems to make sense, though.
Could have been storing Iskandar missiles. As well as their massive warheads, their solid rocket motors contain a staggering amount of chemical energy (even more than the warhead). High performance military solid rocket motors tend to contain a large proportion of high explosives like HMX to maintain high performance without producing lots of thick smoke in the exhaust. In the right circumstances these motors won't just burn, they'll detonate - multiple missiles going up at once would make one heck of a bang. If you search on youtube for "Tridant C4 motor disposal" you can get an idea of how big a bang one of these big solid rockets can produce.
@@ald1144 absolutely
Do you think there may have been some special weapons stored here🎉🎉🎉
