According to the analyst, at best, the Russians will be able to save 10-20% of the ammunition that was at the base.
Fresh satellite images of the consequences of the attack on the ammunition warehouse of the Russian occupiers in Toropka, Tver region, were published by “Radio Freedom”.
The pictures from the Planet Labs satellite, which are at the disposal of journalists, show the consequences of the fire, which was still ongoing today as of 3:30 p.m. Kyiv time. There are also funnels with a diameter of 50 to 90 meters from exploded shells.
An assessment of the destruction at the 107th GRAU arsenal by OSINT researcher Tendar, based on satellite images, also appeared.
According to him, 15 of the 42 ammunition bunkers in the new part of the arsenal have been completely destroyed. The condition of another 10 is difficult to assess because of the smoke, but they are almost certainly destroyed due to their proximity to large craters. The remaining 17 bunkers show signs of significant damage. 5 large craters from large-scale detonations are visible (circled in yellow).

At least two large craters from large-scale detonations are visible .The arsenal is destroyed by 70-90%. At best, the Russians will be able to save 10-20% of the ammunition that was at the base,” the analyst added.
Consequences of an attack on a warehouse in Toropka
A blow to the warehouse in the city of Toropets – the opinion of analysts
The Kursk group of Russians was fully supplied with ammunition from the warehouse in Toropka, Tver region, which was hit by the Defense Forces of Ukraine the day before. This was stated by Yevhen Dyky, a military expert and ATO veteran.
“They will have a very acute shortage of ammunition in the next few days, as they don’t carry a large arsenal every day,” said Dykiy.
He also reminded that up to 30,000 different types of ammunition were in the warehouse before the attack. According to Dyky, it will not be possible to stop the fire at the warehouses, because “such fires do not go out.”
