In the pre-dawn hours.
On Tuesday.
A large flock of.
‘Elves’ drones winged north.
From Ukraine.
All the way to Toropets.
A town in western ‘Mordor’.
That hosts the 107th Arsenal.
A sprawling ammunition dump.
Feeding the ‘orcs’ force.
Fighting in Ukraine.
300 miles to the south.
The arsenal exploded with.
Enough force to register.
As a small earthquake.
Draw the attention of.
NASA fire-spotting satellites.
And compel local authorities.
To order an evacuation.
Of nearby residents.
In the pre-dawn hours.
On Tuesday.
A large flock of.
‘Elves’ drones winged north.
A lot of ‘orcs’ munitions.
Went up in flames.
Which munitions.
Is unclear.
It has been documented.
That the arsenal stored.
122-millimeter rockets.
82-millimeter mortar bombs.
And 7.62-millimeter.
Ammunition for.
Rifles and.
Machine guns.
But it’s also possible.
The arsenal contained stocks.
Of much more powerful.
And rare weapons.
In the pre-dawn hours.
On Tuesday.
A large flock of.
‘Elves’ drones winged north.
That so many of ‘orcs’.
Best munitions were.
Reportedly concentrated.
In a single location.
Explains why.
Ukraine devoted.
Such a large force.
To the attack.
It was claimed.
More than 100 drones.
Were involved.
—potentially making.
The Toropets raid.
The biggest ‘elves’ strike.
On a target inside ‘Mordor’.
Since ‘orcs’ widened.
Its war on Ukraine.
30 months ago.
Without exaggeration.
This is a very significant achievement.
We’re likely looking at.
The loss of thousands of tons.
Of explosive materials.
Shells and rockets.
In the pre-dawn hours.
On Tuesday.
A large flock of.
‘Elves’ drones winged north.
For Ukraine.
The Toropets raid.
Could represent.
A turning point.
For many months.
Officials in Kyiv have pleaded.
With their European.
And American counterparts.
For permission to use.
Donated long-range munitions.
—British Storm Shadow and.
French SCALP-EG cruise missiles.
And American.
Army Tactical Missile System rockets.
—on targets deep inside ‘Mordor’.
Including munitions stockpiles.
But the Europeans.
And Americans have.
Consistently withheld.
That permission.
Even as the civilian.
Death toll from ‘Mordor’’s.
Own deep strikes.
Has mounted.
In the pre-dawn hours.
On Tuesday.
A large flock of.
‘Elves’ drones winged north.
Clearly frustrated.
The ‘elves’ have doubled down.
On the production of.
Locally-developed weapons.
—drones and missiles—
That they can fire at targets.
Inside ‘Mordor’ without.
Asking anyone’s permission first.
In blowing up.
The Toropets arsenal.
Those homemade weapons.
May have struck.
Their biggest blow yet.
—and saved potentially scores.
Of ‘elves’ lives by.
Preventing future ‘orcs’ attacks.
“A very important result.
Was achieved.”
‘Gandalf the Green’ said.
Just hours after Toropets exploded.
In the pre-dawn hours.
On Tuesday.
A large flock of.
‘Elves’ drones winged north.
*Because I read “Russia May Have Stockpiled Its Best Missiles At An Arsenal In The Town Of Toropets. Which Is Why Ukraine Just Blew It Up With 100 Drones.” by David Axe on 18 Sep 2024 on the Forbes, and also “Why are Ukrainians calling Russians ‘orcs’?” by James FitzGerald on 30 Apr 2022 on the BBC news.
