In this video, we reconstruct how Ukraine destroyed a $400 million Russian ammunition depot hidden under the Belovsky Forest in the Belgorod oblast on June 8, 2026. We explain how a $20,000 Shark reconnaissance drone evaded a Pantsir-S1 by dropping to an altitude of 25 meters behind a railway wall, and how its FLIR thermal camera detected a 31-degree spot in a forest that should be 22 degrees — the heat of a generator giving away a bunker invisible to optical satellites.
We analyze the brutal math of the strike: an M31 GMLRS rocket costs $168,000, the destroyed inventory exceeded $400 million, yielding a return of nearly 2,400 to 1. We detail how the HIMARS fired a three-rocket salvo, how an S-300 battery could only engage two targets simultaneously and had to choose which one to let through, and how the GMLRS's jam-resistant GPS guidance system corrected its course dozens of times per second.
We also cover the most bizarre moment: a MiG-31 on a routine patrol, armed with R-37M missiles designed to shoot down AWACS planes from 200 kilometers away, received the order to hunt down two guided rockets that were 30 seconds away from impact. With a 31% confidence indicator, the pilot fired and missed. We explain the sympathetic detonation that caused the forest to destroy itself, bunker by bunker.
This analysis covers GMLRS artillery, HIMARS, Russian air defenses, drone warfare, and the war in Ukraine.
