Arsenal
Military depots in the village of Kolbasna were created in the 1940s. In Soviet times, 1411 asb (artillery ammunition depot) was the strategic arsenal of the Western military district. The bulk of the ammunition was brought here after the withdrawal of Soviet troops from the former GDR , Czechoslovakia and other European countries [8] . As of 2000, the volume of armaments and ammunition belonging to Russia amounted to about 42,000 tons in Transnistria. From 2000 to 2004, about 50% of armaments, military equipment and ammunition were removed or destroyed on the spot from here. Currently, according to various estimates, there are from 19,000 [9] to 21,500 [10] tons of ammunition in the warehouse: shells, air bombs, mines, grenades, ammunition with a capacity of 2,500 railway wagons [11] . Of these, 57% are expired and are not subject to use and transportation. All weapons and military equipment were removed or destroyed [12] [13] [14] . The possible detonation of existing ammunition can be compared with the explosion of a nuclear bomb with a capacity of 10 kilotons, which was dropped on Hiroshima in August 1945 [15] . According to other sources, there are 22 thousand tons of ammunition in the warehouse [16] .
