Next short🧵, this time about a Russian Arsenal, a storage site of rockets/missiles, ammunition and explosive materials, south of the small town of Patrikeevo. 1/9 53°37'59"N 46°52'21"E
2/9 As far as I can tell, the site not depleted or anything like that in 30.04.2024. But it's a rare case of a missile storage site where some large missiles are stored in the open, without any cover or storage boxes. Which makes it worth to look at what is stored here.

Before 2021, it seems this base was only used as a storage site for ammo and other smaller equipment, but no heavy weapons were stored there.
In 2021 an empty part of the base was cleared of vegetation, parking slots were paved and a number of vehicles put there.
Next 🧵, this time about a staging area, turned collection and maybe repair point, close to the town of Novoozerne in Crimea.

Before 2019 this base was a small abandoned military site with a few ruined buildings, surrounded by a wind farm of all things. In 2019 work started to turn the facility into a staging point for military equipment.

Before the invasion The base was holding 191 2A36 Giatsint-B, one of Russia’s most capable towed howitzer models. Counted by @HighMarsed. These can easily be identified by their large size and their 4 wheels.
By 28.07.2023 all of them are gone.
As promised the next 🧵, about the (now exhausted) Rocket and Artillery Weapons Arsenal in Karabasch.

Before the invasion, there were 3 clusters of stored towed howitzers.
Aside from that, there were only some buildings and complexes (probably for maintenance and testing) in and around the actual storage base, a train station and a few logistics vehicles.

Another 🧵. This time let's take a look at an Rocket and Artillery Warehouse near the town of Sazan'e. Big thanks to @HighMarsed, @Ath3neN0ctu4 and especially @Jonpy99 for helping me with identifying the vehicles there.

The base consists mostly of dispersed garages that should store artillery ammunition and equipment. But there are three small clusters of vehicles that are being stored there since 2020. earth.google.com/web/@52.512681…

Letzlich stellt sich die Frage zur Theorie eines Sieges in der 🇺🇦. Wie kann ich 🇷🇺vertreiben. Krieg ist die Fortsetzung der Diplomatie mit anderen Mitteln. Clausewitz mag aus der Zeit gefallen wirken, aber Putin folgt gerade der Logik dieser Zeit,
