As reported recently, Ukrainians dealt another enormous blow to the enemy war machine by targeting one of the largest Russian arsenals. The massive facility, storing hundreds of thousands of munitions of various types, was engulfed in flames that continued to burn for days, Euromaidan Press says.
On 22 April, a powerful explosion occurred at the 51st Arsenal of Russia’s Main Missile and Artillery Directorate (GRAU) in the village of Barsovo in Vladimir Oblast, approximately 70 km northeast of Moscow. Despite the risk of sanctions and warnings issued by the local governor, dozens of residents published videos of the initial explosion, numerous secondary detonations, and the large-scale fire. Local authorities initially claimed that no one was hurt. Still, they were soon forced to announce the evacuation of nearby villages and the closure of the main road connecting Moscow to Kirzhach. The depot, spanning an area of approximately 3.5 square kilometres, was one of Russia’s largest and most strategically significant munition storage sites. It reportedly housed up to 264,000 tons of various ordnance, or around 6 million artillery shells—enough for more than one year of combat operations. The arsenal included high-explosive artillery shells, anti-tank guided missiles, ballistic rockets, and solid-fueled surface-to-surface missiles, some potentially designated for Iskander and Smerch systems, Euromaidan Press reports. Developed during the ongoing Russian invasion and first unveiled in the summer of last year, Palianytsia is designed for precision long-range attacks. With an operational range exceeding 700 km and an estimated warhead between 50 and 100 kg of TNT, it can cause massive destruction to key logistical and military targets far from the front line.
The attack also highlights ongoing safety concerns regarding Russia’s ammunition storage practices, resulting in domino effects after initial Ukrainian strikes, as past Ukrainian strikes have often been able to trigger massive secondary explosions.
The Ukrainian military has not officially claimed responsibility, but the incident aligns with previous Ukrainian operations targeting similar facilities. Since 2022, Ukraine has conducted a series of precise strikes on major Russian missile and artillery directorate arsenals, aiming to undermine Russia’s logistical and military capabilities, Euromaidan Press says. Among them was the 107th ammunition depot in Toropets, where approximately 50,000 tons of ammunition were destroyed. Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi stated earlier this month that these strikes on Russian artillery arsenals have already cut the Russian artillery fire rate in half. As Russia prepares for a summer offensive, the latest strike is no coincidence—meant to undermine Russian firepower capabilities ahead of their planned final offensive. Overall, each successful Ukrainian strike of this magnitude eliminates millions of shells that could be used against Ukrainian troops and civilians, and to support Russian offensives.
