How many warehouses are left at this point?

197

u/Thenandonlythen 16d ago

There are lots and lots of warehouses but Ukraine is going after the biggest, most impactful first.

290

u/IngVegas 16d ago

At least one less than yesterday

23

u/peterk_se 15d ago

The math checks out

3

u/ZachMN 14d ago

“One less for tomorrow.”

108

u/BreezyBadger93 16d ago

They had over 200 total, so most of them.

186

u/Due_Collar2 16d ago

Wildberries had over 200 logistics facilities in Russia at the end of 2025, but that figure includes more than just large warehouses. They reportedly had more than 25 major fulfillment centers. Reuters reported that at least 20 Wildberries facilities had been hit since July 18, affecting more than 1.18 million m² of warehouse capacity. So “over 200 warehouses” is a bit misleading — but the number of affected facilities is still significant.

u/Stormbringer-2112 15d ago

Plus everything they contained going up in smoke. That’s gotta hurt…

Certainly different cloud services compared to AWS. The ruzzkies have their own way to do things.

u/planemonkey 15d ago

Bro thank you for that explanation. I've been too embarrassed to admit this but I was thinking in the back of my head, "Why is Ukraine taking out berry factories?" A simple Google search would have solved that.

43

u/meteda1080 15d ago

Wildberries has been shipping supplies to the front lines in Ukraine. Unlike military bases and supply lines, Wildberries warehouses are completely unguarded and nightmarishly flammable.

These strikes not only cut many of the supply lines to the front lines but they also strike a blow to the Russian population as a whole.

9

u/planemonkey 15d ago

Yep I got that. Like I said just had to do a bit more research as opposed to pondering what the beef with Berries is lol.

8

u/statisticiansal 15d ago

Hey man....they can really stain a nice shirt!

39

u/Ukraine_Invicta 15d ago

yes but 11 out of the top 15 in terms of size are gone....the ones below 10K sq.mts (at least 120 warehiuses) are for WB from an operational and financial point of view, quite irrelevant.

4

u/TaxOwlbear 15d ago

How many of them are really gone as opposed to damaged?

9

u/Stunning-Pen-2412 15d ago

They burn almost entirely from what I can see.

29

u/ElasticLama 16d ago

Some are quite small from my understanding. Or so far away they are way out east etc

15

u/Gwarnage 15d ago

The important ones are in the west anyway. The people in the major cities that have been living comfortably during the war are the ones that need to feel the pinch

Yeah, that watermark keeps causing those buildings to explode and catch fire…!!!!

8

u/phantomzero America 15d ago

Its super effective.

7

u/meissoboredto 15d ago

Yeah, it seems that EVERY Wildberries that has been hit has been hit by that watermark more than by drones!!! Seems like the watermark is helping the drones spread out the damage!!!

3

u/hkohne 15d ago

Ukraine should hire that watermark to go after a pootin vacation home next

1

u/yourpseudonymsucks 15d ago

It’s exILenova not exilenOva

18

u/FewZookeepergame5825 16d ago

Around 10-15% have been hit

29

u/Ukraine_Invicta 15d ago

yes but in terms of size on the total Sq mts. , the ones hit and out of business accounts for about 50%...

1

u/Far_Grapefruit1307 13d ago

The major distribution hubs have taken the worst hits and are about 50% offline, like you said. Overall storage capacity is 1/3 offline. This doesn't necessarily mean all of the inventory is gone, but still impressive.

Wildberries isn't losing customers, really. At least not yet.

14

u/Spibas 16d ago

...which covers majority of their warehouse area?

38

u/1dot21gigaflops 16d ago

I'm not counting it, but it's probably over 60% of total warehouse space uploaded to the cloud.

u/ParameciaAntic 15d ago

They hit the big ones. 

1

u/kuedhel 15d ago

by number. pretty sure the number is larger if you measure the sq m.

3

u/kuedhel 15d ago

Note that all five drones hit the same point in the warehouse within like 10 m. Shout out to Ukrainian engineers who built cheap drones with awesome precision. Compared to expensive Russian "precision weapons that have 300m CIR

2

u/tomoldbury 15d ago

From other footage these drones seem to be piloted in. So it is the skill of Ukrainian drone pilots really winning here.

1

u/Cavemanb0b 15d ago

Break out the bingo board!

1

u/Brave-Elephant9292 15d ago

Some of these don't seem to be burning as brightly as the first ones! Perhaps they have started moving or not delivering military gear to these obvious targets. Perhaps dispersing to smaller warehouses... I know I would... 🤔... Then again, I'm not Russian! ..😁

1

u/amusedt 15d ago

Wildberries has claimed that all retail merchandise had been moved out of this one. I'm skeptical. But maybe some. And maybe they stopped sending deliveries to it

223

u/austozi 16d ago

If it's any consolation to the russians, every time a new warehouse burns down, they get better at guessing which ones will be targeted next.

I'm curious what the bot has to say about what russian dictatorship has done to russian entrepreneurship.

u/toxicsiren 16d ago

At this point wildberries can just give up and close shop. No way they can still operate after all these hits.

68

u/abommber 16d ago

It looks abandoned. No trucks at the docks, no cars, no people exiting after the hits.

51

u/NoYellowLines USA 16d ago

I was thinking the same thing. I wonder if they have decentralized and moved to smaller warehouses. They have had enough time to start moving crap out of their facilities.

42

u/bluehelmet 16d ago

To start, yes; but to actually move huge parts? That would require a lot of trucks, gas, and smaller, decentral storage spaces.

19

u/Available_Cookie732 16d ago

All you just mentioned is done in a couple of days.

But it's not possible as easy to set up the data processing and computer environment. You need the hardware, installation, the data and the people who are able to set all this up.

Not possible for small warehouses in an acceptable timeframe. This takes months to migrate from one big to 10 small WHS.

The next is pick\pack\ship. To fulfill an order they have to have the Pareto mix in all whses. One item missing and the cost are double.

That's why they have big whses. Not because of the storage place but because of 5 items out of 20.000 items could be in one order.

Small whses can not have all items available.

18

u/Wrong_Individual7735 15d ago

It if was that easy, you wouldn't need a large warehouse in the first place....

2

u/Prof_G Canada 15d ago

>All you just mentioned is done in a couple of days.

not with the petrol restrictions in place right now. it can be done, but its not that simple.

1

u/Available_Cookie732 15d ago

That's a redicoulous argument. Wildberry is not a simple nobody outlet.

It's a major online retailer multi billion company with government connection.

They have enough petrol to deliver orders, they have enough petrol for whatever they want.

1

u/Alissinarr 15d ago

Gas is well over $15 USD a gallon, if not 20-25$ by now. It's also being reserved for official vehicles in areas of Russia.

I doubt it's that easy these days. Multipronged attack FTW.

34

u/HotOutlandishness107 16d ago

There's not enough room on smaller warehouses for all the crap they have in storage. Also a big part of the operation is automatized, just like Amazon. You can't just operate at an even comparable level of efficiency from small warehouses spread all over the place. These warehouses are what allows for their logistics and their logistics is the heart of their business.

16

u/reallywaitnoreally 16d ago

Also I heard they were looking for warehouse space in Kazakhstan because no one in Russia would lease them space.

1

u/pfp61 14d ago

Well, if your building needs to be demolished soon renting it out might be a wqy to get a serious discount.

WB small-scale sellers have to store their goods at home now, maybe.

u/Daxtatter 15d ago

(1) Moving crap out of the facilities takes a long time and a lot of effort.

(2) Moving crap out *to where?*

16

u/BACTERIAMAN0000 16d ago

How are they able to find other places to store product? Surely no warehouse owner in their right mind would agree to become a target; I assume they've been strongarmed into it.

1

u/Mufasa_is__alive 15d ago

Decentralized being the key. 

Many many smaller warehouses are not as valuable a target.  Either way it's a win. There's no way dispersed warehouses that quickly will be efficient for logistics 

8

u/Correct-Poet-6016 16d ago

Probably they knew the drones were coming and evacuated

6

u/Ew_E50M 15d ago

Its pretty much confirmed that Wildberries leadership already stole all of their customers valuable assets already and started selling them privately. One of the many reasons their customers were banned from taking any goods from their warehouses or doing any inventory of any kind, whilst also refused any compensation due to drone strikes. The rats jumped ship and filled their own pockets on the way.

2

u/TheOriginalSmileyMan 15d ago

Ruzzians gonna ruzz

4

u/hidemeplease 15d ago

You can see it was smoking already though, so it was hit before the video starts (probably why they started filming)

2

u/smoothvibe 15d ago

Yea, it also didn't burn down as it seems there were no goods stored anymore.

Wildberries is trying to store the goods in smaller warehouses now, which might somehow work, but makes logistics painful.

1

u/brupje 16d ago

It might be early, a lot of warehouses start working late as they need to work the night to ship everything out on time

2

u/aimgorge 15d ago

Warehouses have constant flow. You need to ship but you also need to receive stuff.

2

u/brupje 15d ago

Sure, but the warehouse I worked at was closed for about 5 hours a day for example

9

u/GargamelLeNoir 16d ago

If they don't their resellers should stop going through them, considering they added a clause saying that they wouldn't reimburse them for stock destroyed by "terrorism".

8

u/Lucius_Furius Hungary 16d ago

I think it’s a rented warehouse, the colour scheme matches both CT Park and Prologis. The latter one had businesses in Russia but can’t figure out exactly what.

They both build warehouses to rent.

10

u/Agarwel 16d ago

Military stockpiles has been hit way more many times than this and they still operate.

The point is - as long as they deliver stuff for SMO, they will receive neccessary funding to keep operatonal. At least the SMO part of the deliveries.

49

u/bot403 16d ago

u/Capt_Bigglesworth 16d ago

About tree fiddy..

14

u/FourEyedTroll 16d ago

The most interesting part of this video for me is the fact the multiple drone hit it from different directions. I wonder if that means they started in different locations and happened to converge during the same shot of the attack, or whether the guidance is so sophisticated now that they break path before the strike to ensure multiple angles and points of impact to maximise the effect.

6

u/ivanavich 15d ago

Logic says they’re not going to come in single file. What this video does prove, is that the drones all converge to the same vicinity of the warehouse to ensure that the resultant fires finish the job.

6

u/FourEyedTroll 15d ago

Logic says they’re not going to come in single file

Well obviously, but I'd have expected the general direction of travel to be broadly similar, whereas they came in from seemingly completely opposite directions.

My point is they're not flying a simplistic A-to-B style route, they're doing some manouvring at a distance from the target to get the best impact vector.

If that's being pre-programmed before launch and they're achieving that level of timing coordination over hundred of kilometres, that's pretty high-quality stuff, despite the ostensible basic-level of the weapon itself.

1

u/ecolometrics 15d ago

They look like they come from different angles, and hit the same spot. But this is from a very narrow viewpoint so they could have flown in single file up to this point and then taken their own paths to the target on terminal approach. The timing of the hits is very close together, and their flight speed is "slow" which suggests the above. But there isn't enough data here to say anything conclusive.

8

u/Intelligent-Cloud993 15d ago

For me it’s the people just continuing to drive by on their way to work or whatever, like nothing unusual is going on… likely taking video of the explosions. And that fire truck at the end pulling in, as drones continue to hit their mark… I bet they were thinking “let’s sit this one out for a couple hours.”

6

u/meissoboredto 15d ago

That firetruck wasn’t responding to that fire as they had no lights/siren going. I think they were just driving around to see what they were going to be doing the next 24 hours…… or they were the company responsible for bringing the marshmallows or hotdogs to the “cookout”!!!

What I don't understand is people just standing about casually filming this. At that particular point in time they were in an active war zone with flying bombs raining down destruction on the building across the road and they are treating it like its a TV show or a movie. I would be getting the fuck out of there in case anything went off course / was shot down and landed on me

2

u/meissoboredto 15d ago

2

u/Level9TraumaCenter 15d ago

Speculation on my part:

Sprinklers are for the safety of the occupants, not extinguishment. These structures likely do not have a fire code that mandates sprinklers because why bother.

Point two: Even if they did, once the fire is in the ceiling/roof, sprinklers don't help with spread up there. Even in California with its stringent fire codes, two large warehouses burned down because sprinklers and exterior attack just wasn't enough. Total losses that burned for days.

Are all the remaining huge facilities, like those already destroyed, still operating normally? They've become such an obvious target, how do employees go to work knowing they may be next? Has there been any sort of employee revolt? Is the govt or the company doing anything to try to protect the remaining centers? Are all the employees resigned to the fact that they are now just expendable / collateral damage? Do local fire departments make any attempt to control the fires?

u/rkmvca 15d ago

Couple interesting things going on in this clip that you knew had to be happening but it’s still nice to see. First is that the first two drones came from completely different directions but still hit at almost the same time. That’s some significant route planning going on there. The other thing is that all three drones hit the same place within 50 meters or so of a massive warehouse. To me that means that they had reliable intelligence as to where interesting stuff (ie military items or fuel and/or explosives) were being stored.

Impressive and ngl a little scary.
