Explosion in Tver and US Chip Production

Let me start with the Ukrainian attack on the Toropets ammo depot. First, this seems to be a central logistics hub. This is the photo before it was hit. As you can see, Abd is not a minor facility.

This is the description of the event via Ateo Breaking. And I must say, the video circulating is impressive:

In Toropets, Tver Oblast, a fire started due to the fall of UAV debris during the repulse of an attack by air defense forces. All emergency services and the leadership of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the Russian Federation for the Tver Oblast have arrived at the scene. Work is underway to localize the fire, — Governor of the Tver Oblast Igor Rudenya

Local residents report that an ammunition depot is burning. The population of the territory adjacent to the depots has begun to evacuate.

Now, what exactly did Ukraine use? It does not seem to be a UAV. This is via Yigal Levin. And in my mind, it may be the beginning of the next phase of the war:

A vigilant correspondent from the field in the Tver region records an interesting sound, characteristic of jet aircraft. Probably, Ukraine used Storm Shadow that very same cruise missile “Palyanytsya” of its own production.

We have had hints that Ukraine had operational systems of local production. Also, the Brits lifted some limits, but we are still afraid of lifting. We are still scared of whatever the Russians threaten to do.

If this was a locally produced missile system, it tells me Ukraine is increasingly independent of us regarding long-range systems. This kind of facility strike can change some of the war's course.
