1/ The Russian Navy is being condemned as "unteachable" by Russian warbloggers following a Ukrainian attack on an ammunition depot, which is said to have destroyed 5,000 tons of ammunition. They say that the Navy has learned nothing from the war. ⬇️ bsky.app
Aftermath of the Ukrainian strike on the Russian Navy’s 15th Arsenal in Leningrad Oblast.
2/ High-resolution satellite images from before the strike show massive amounts of ammunition being stored in the open air at the 15th Arsenal of the Russian Navy in Petergof, Leningrad region. This Soviet-style practice has led to repeated disasters at Russian Army depots.
3/ As 'Alex Parker Returns' comments, "The ammunition was stored outdoors, so triggering a detonation using drones was no problem. Pypa [Putin], here are the results." 4/ 'Military Informant' echoes the criticism: "Judging by other early high-resolution images, ammunition was simply lying around in the open on the arsenal grounds, which led to the inevitable consequences. The inability to learn, as it were." 'Ramzai' is scathing: 5/ "Unteachable! After the massive explosions and fires at military arsenals in 2022-2023, when the enemy methodically "took them out" one after another, it seemed the lessons had already been learned and the end of storing ammunition in open-air stacks. But no! 6/ "The naval commanders are learning nothing from their land-based "brothers"! They're so far away from the front! They [the Ukrainians] won't make it there! They did! 7/ "The result is the evacuation of an entire region. As usual, we'll keep a mournful silence about the arsenal's air defences. 8/ "Under Comrade Stalin, everyone responsible for this arsenal would already be sitting in investigators' offices, dreaming of a "penal battalion." Anything short of being thrown up against the wall for criminal negligence. 9/ "But for today's naval commanders, this is simply an annoying detail. Collateral damage, so to speak. No one will even be removed from their positions..." /end Sources: 🔹 t.me 🔹 t.me 🔹 t.me
