Ukraine scatters arsenal to protect weapons from russian strikes

 

The Russian military is increasing attacks on Ukrainian arms depots to deprive the country of Western weapons critical to prevailing in the four-month war.

But in response, the Ukrainian military is dispersing and decentralizing its weapons arsenal across an array of warehouses in an effort to lessen the potential losses caused by any one Russian strike, said U.S. officials familiar with the strategy.

The wider distribution of weapons has attracted more Russian cruise missile strikes in recent weeks, officials said, but has resulted in fewer strikes eliminating large supplies of arms and ammunition.

“This is consistent with how one would go about increasing the survivability of the weapons and ammo you need to bring to the front,” said George Barros, a geospatial analyst at the Institute for the Study of War. “Wars are won by logistics."
