Is Ukraine about to have a war?
A question for the specialists.
How much of an ammunition depot is tailored to ammunition storage ? What I am asking is, if ammunition has to be stored in an ordinary warehouse with racking because the specialist facility is destroyed, how much would this slow down the stocking/de-stocking of the ammunition ? Would it in fact be possible because there might be requirements for ammo storage that I am unaware of.?

Damn the a guy keeps track of the 200 list has just added another major general, he is also trying to track down the rumored deaths of another 4-5 in the last week killed by himars/m270 strikes, one strike killed Chief of Staff of the 22nd Army Corps (military unit 73954, Simferopol) , Major General Nasbulin; + 4 colonels
OH and russia has had to goto iran to beg some drones off them

Coincidence? I think not! #whereis mikemyers #whereisdonkey
and in other, aerospace news, here is the next frontier for Russian forces, and some of their remaining T72's competing with starlink. The seriously impressive counterpoint of what humans can achieve, Vlad on one hand, and an IRST at L2 looking further backward than even Vlad has peered. Amazing Einstein-Khvolson rings in abundance. An amazing universe, and then there is Vlads big bang....
NASA/ESA, and friends, moving humanity forward...
Russia... moving to the dark side...
Fire at Nova Kakhovka
This, I believe was where the HIMARS hit. View thanks to an amazing site from NASA. You can use the date control to see how the fire has reduced since yeterday.

It seems to be filmed with some kind of body cam. Things start to get really serious about 5 minutes in the video. At some point they say "we won't get out, that's it", according to the automatic translation. Somehow, they did. And this is about a month ago, before Ukraine put HIMARS to work.

What utter ballcocks, The majority of the free world speaks English, does that then justify the U.K. invading those Countries to liberate them? Of course not, but Russia seems to see it as a justification.
To add to that Russia is now dumping on them, raping, pillaging and using them as canon fodder, the very same people they “came to help”

* On reflection , no pallet would be able to take the weight of that many ammo crates, so I do still wonder what a properly-designed storage depot looks like.

Yes , I saw that after my comment, but either that is a temporary facility or Russian standards really are unimaginably bad. I say that because the crates are not even on pallets*, so would have to be moved by hand rather than fork-lifts: you can imagine that this would be ten times slower and need five times as many men.

I don't blame them. Not sure if this was already posted here, but here's what happens when a Russian ammunition dump gets hit:

'twas vaguely amusing to see them take shelter in the lorry at the beginning: "Quick, close the windows and lock the doors!!"

Drive has an article about the Ukrainians operating behind the lines and also about the early assaults on Ukraine etc, a long article so will add a few snippits,

Sometimes they cross the border by helicopter. Other times, by foot.
But the objective is always the same, says the head of a shadowy Ukraine special operations group known as the Shaman Battalion.
Give the Russians a taste of what Ukrainians have been experiencing since 2014. And especially since Feb. 24.

“There was an impact site of a Tochka-U, which is a big missile,” said Sydney. “Then there were a lot of Sukhoi aircraft that were flying over, dropping stuff.”
After that came the helicopters. Huge waves of them.
“There were over 44 helicopters with air assault troops and our problem on the spot was that we were lacking a means and assets for taking them down in those numbers.”
Sydney then praised the young Ukrainian National Guard troops who stood their ground, firing old Soviet-era man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS) at the overwhelming influx of Russia’s vaunted VDV airborne assault troops.
“I would like to give credit to the young boys. Some of them were 18 and 19 years old. Their mission was to guard the airfield and runway itself. They took down a few helicopters and one Sukhoi fighter jet. Despite the fact that they're people of 18 and 19 years of age, they have balls bigger than many people in this world.”
The attack on the airport was eventually repelled, the biggest in a cascading series of military disasters for Russia that led to their ignominious retreat.
But before they left Antonov Airport, the Russians lashed out, said Sydney, destroying the world’s biggest airplane - the six-engine An-225 cargo jet known worldwide by its nickname Mriya.

This has got to be a big problem for RF, as with the amount of Russian speaking Ukrainians, and the access to RF kit and uniforms, and knowledge of the RF methods, behind the lines attacks on RF from motivated and brave Ukraine forces must be causing them significant problems.

Rumours that Poland will get 300 Abrams in exchange for supplying 232 PT-91 "Twardy" tanks, an upgraded version of the T-72, to Kyiv.
