Ammunition availability can make all the difference in a war, but only if it makes it to the troops on the front, rather than being destroyed in storage.

Over the course of several days, Ukraine recently succeeded in striking two Russian GRAU arsenals deep in Russian territory and a separate depot and storage facility, causing massive destruction and destroying thousands or tens of thousands of tonnes of Russian munitions.

In this episode I ask how long-range drones were able to destroy what were meant to be, in many cases, hardened targets, why the bases may have suffered the damage they did, and what this may all mean for the war going forward.

I don't watch his releases every week anymore, so does anyone know if he's announced that he quit his day job?

I found his channel after his first Russo-Ukraine war video was a day old, and JFC how has he kept up releasing an hour-long PowerPoint a week ever since?

I know he was late once or twice, but holy shit, that is an insane work ethic. I hope he doesn't burn out because videos are still grade A+.

The Ukrainian drones are no longer repurposed Alibaba models.

Indeed they are not.
