“It provides reliable and safe storage, protects against air and missile strikes and even against the damaging effects of a nuclear explosion,” this is how Deputy Defense Minister Bulgakov, who is now arrested for corruption, spoke in 2018 about the missile arsenal under construction in Toropets, which was attacked tonight.

" If we store the current arsenals with what they used to be - storage in open areas and in wooden storage facilities - and today in concrete (storages), the difference will be approximately this: either wear a bulletproof vest that protects against bullets and shrapnel, or wear one without one," the Deputy Minister of Defense said at the time. Bulgakov added that the arsenal meets "the highest world standards."
