Part 4/7:
The Soviet Union's collapse left the Russian military with surplus artillery—leading to the Arsenal becoming a key repository for stockpiled artillery systems. Currently, satellite imagery shows significant reductions in the number of self-propelled artillery units stored at this vital base, highlighting Russia’s ongoing struggles to maintain its military capabilities.
Current Status of the Arsenal
Recent analysis of high-resolution satellite images reveals concerning trends at the 94th Arsenal. Over the years, the stockpiles of self-propelled artillery have plummeted from around 2,494 units to a mere 1,196. This drastic reduction raises questions about the operational capacity of Russian forces, particularly as they face increasing pressure in Ukraine.
