Satellite images have revealed evidence of fires at Russia's largest known air defense storage facility, located at the 75th Arsenal in Serpukhov, Moscow Region, approximately 60 miles south of Moscow. The facility, which became the largest known storage base for air defense equipment following the start of Russia's full-scale invasion, was struck by Ukrainian drones overnight on October 22.
Greenpeace analysts who examined the satellite imagery reported visible burn marks in the upper left of the image, as well as additional signs of fire near a hangar and in the lower left. The Ukrainian open source intelligence project Oko Hora claimed that the strikes targeted workshops No. 24 and No. 25, which specialize in repairing and restoring components for Russia's S-300V and Buk surface-to-air missile systems, Tunguska-M air defense systems, and radar equipment.
Another OSINT analyst, Athene Noctua, noted that the 75th Arsenal base likely holds around 60% of the identified reserve of Russian Ground Forces air defense equipment, with 574 out of 950 units stored there.
