There are Russian-ish soldiers stationed there and some thousands of ... eh... I think artillery shells? Grenades? Well, weapons are stored not under Moldovian control, essentially acting as a three decade stalemate.
Edit:
18 tanks, 107 APC, 73 field guns, 46 antiaircraft installation, 176 tank destroyer, 1 Mi-8T, 1 Mi-24 (2009)
20,000 t Ammunition (2004)
Noting that the majority of the munitions stored there are 50+ years old and are as unstable as hell.
How many soldiers could there be? 10k? 20k?
Wikipedia said 4-5k and some untranslated quotes implicated not the highest morale, but it'd be best if this goes down without a repetition of the 700 dead in 1992.
I will do a wild guess and say that that number is not useful as distraction or cannon fodder given how russian tactics work
