  • It’s hard to find reliable data about that. The last good information is from 2022 and says that Russia has stored around 1 million tons of ammunition. That would mean Ukraine just wiped out 26% of everything Russia had.

    However, since it is very likely that Russia has produced a lot more since the war began, it’s hard to tell how much they actually lost today.

    The only other number I could find was one that says that each day Russia uses around 26000 rounds of ammunition (artillery).

    And since I’m a lazy fuck that is already lying in bed and I only have my smartphone here, I’ll let AI do the estimates and calculations.

    Under the premise that most things in that depot was artillery ammo, and we roughly know the weight of a round and as said how much they use per day we can estimate they burn through 1218 tons of ammunition per day.

    That would mean Ukraine just destroyed around 220 days of ammunition.

    But as said, that’s just a wild guess based on some very vague numbers that I don’t have double checked now.
