This is a brand new ammo depot they have started to construct in 2018 only.
A juicy target, honestly.
But there are a clear sounds of exploding ammunition in the background of the films made, so I guess it was artillery ammo being stored there.

Here we can see a ~~Afro-American~~ A tanned Ukrainian is hiding behind a damaged tank. Both nazis run to the trees behind, but according to the description, they were hit by small arms fire.

I doubt he is a negro.
Please take a look at his general color, clothing included.
He looks like smoked all over - when they run across the field you can clearly see that he is darker all over rather than his companion.

So, confirming Alamo's comment above, it was a nearly new arms dump built to the latest safety standards, not some aged Soviet structure. Which must have been hit with pinpoint accuracy to achieve this resul. This will really be hurting the pride of the MoD.Expect a heavy raid tonight, Ukraine will shudder.

    On the attack by Ukrainian UAVs on military depots in Toropets

    During the night, Ukrainian forces carried out a massive UAV strike on various targets on the territory of Russia. Air defenses were active in the Bryansk, Kursk, Oryol, and Smolensk regions. One of the targets was an arsenal in the town of Toropets in Tver Region. Despite official statements about a fire due to "falling debris", this is obviously not the case. A partial evacuation has been announced in the area, with the population being evacuated to Zapadnaya Dvina.

    The explosions at the depots were so powerful that they were detected by seismic monitoring systems. The first tremors of magnitude 2.8 were recorded at 3:56 am, followed by seven weaker ones, from 2 to 2.8 on the Richter scale.

    Interestingly, the targeted depot was opened in its time by the then Deputy Defense Minister of Russia, Bulgakov, who is now under investigation. According to the official's statements in 2018, the implementation of the complex would build a storage system for missiles, ammunition and explosives that "meets the highest global standards". And the arsenal "allows to shelter stocks of missiles and ammunition from external influence and ensure their safety and explosion and fire safety", and there was even a sauna on the territory, according to the report.

    Perhaps, if everything that happened was caused by "falling debris", the investigation has more work to do.

They achieved a significant success so the response is going to have to be significant.

Are they not understanding they are only making things worse for themselves...

I suspect their electrical grid and any gas stores will be attacked now... the exodus of Ukrainian civilians to the EU may be beginning soon.

There is no pride to be had in stupidity. No-one location has any reason to store such an amount of ammunition especially a location within the range of enemy strike means.

I don't much care about the ammo destroyed, industries can quickly make up for it, but I presume there is loss of life too as such facilities would certainly be staffed.

They're not making things worse for themselves at all, they are making things better for themselves, for they are NATO and their directly controlled puppets, and their priority is to weaken Russia. Consequences for the Ukraine as a state or the Ukrainian population are not even a consideration.

If new underground shelter , then drone not able to penetrate with small warhead . Also not likely area not covered by AD . This coming so soon after " ...provide long range missile strike inside Russia ... " No coincidence , likely earth- penetrating large ( nuclear ?) warhead missile ( s ) strike . But the statement " ....drone strike or falling debris , " by Russia , shows no intent on retaliation against NATO right now .

A major design purpose of these new depots was to reduce train reaction explosions at the neighboring bunkers. It will be interesting to see once the fires are out if this was successful. The last video I saw showed 3 distinct bunkers on fire.

If this was a hardened ammunition depot the most likely cause of the fires is sabotage. Ukraine simply does not have weapons with a long enough range let alone munitions to destroy hardened facilities.

The baltics likely could not pull it off either.

Considering that it was likely sabotage, perhaps we will be seeing western arms manufacture take a beating, after all the taboo on that has long gone out the window.

According to FIRMS whole thing is gone. Inside job is very likely. This was supposed to be another one of the "analogov net" projects. In this case "analogov net" probably comes to the amount of money that was stolen during the construction of this facility. Now that it is gone, problem is gone for Bulgakov (in prison and under investigation) & co, as well.

The fact here is Russia is winning in the SVO, both in tactics and strategy. Even with the limited amount of commitment to the SVO, the upper hand is in Russian side.

In such context they don't really care about the so-called "retaliation" that impatient netizens are calling. They just have to do what they are doing until Kiev regime breaks under the pressure.

The much more important fact is Timofy Milovanov, former Economic Minister of the Maidan regime, acknowledged that Ukraine is bleeding and cannot fight forever. Clearly, Ukrainian manpower available to the Maidan regime is decreasing and European countries are unlikely to release the refugees back as exploitation of refugees is a profitable business, like the Czech Ministry acknowledged. Not to mention that the Ukrainian people now are even sick of the Maidan government and dodging conscription are prevalent.

Another fact is that even the Western media outlet is increasingly making dis-satisfactory articles about Zelensky government, instead of usual propaganda PR. Which implies a rift and discord between Zelensky puppet regime and his puppetmaster, which is an advantage that Russia can exploit.

Moreover, just now Bloomberg announced that some Western powers is contemplating a cease-fire to salvage the situation for the Maidan regime.

Clearly it is Western countries are desperate to have a "red line", not Russia. In other words, they need an excuse to give Maidan the authority to use long range missiles. But Russia will not let them have any excuse.

If is there is something to be done, that is throughout re-checking all the possible security loopholes in Russia to prevent future sabotages.

The UK is back to poking the bear. It implies that they really need the info that the Rivet Joint gives them. One wonders if the RJ occupants are on danger money, it is not normal peacetime work when they can be pretty sure they will turn up at home after a shift.

Mind you in a real conflict the RJ would be long gone, so they shouldn't be relying on it now.
