TV News at my country claimed this was a factory that "made optics for the Russian military". Nice big optics explosion though
zabadoh@lemmy.ml · 10 pts · 3y
Well they did have to stuff all the smoke and mirrors inside the optics.
The smoke escaped this time.
Next time it will be an explosion of mirrors.

"After the blast, the governor in the region claimed that the factory was actually mainly manufacturing "pyrotechnics".[2]" from your link.

Do you ...
dimath@ttrpg.network · -50 pts · 3y
Sure, or it was just a random semi-legal pyrotechnics production as there are probably plenty. I remember after the cold war some garbage cans on satellite images were claimed to be missile silos.
Edit: ha, wish I could find that 00th forum post with a random Google maps image and people arguing about some green squares on it. Nevertheless, this is true and the point is - not everything is a conspiracy theory and most importantly - Russia is much less organized than you might think.

Where are all the shells that seem to be scattered around coming from then?

That's a shame.

As Russia will not end this war, the Russian war machine must be destroyed.
ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 3y
Why waste lives and resources fighting Russia on the battlefield when they're perfectly capable of blowing themselves up?

Any videos of the actual explosion?
Are the two last ones scattered shells around the region?

Edit: OP has the same video in the top link now too.

Not content with letting the Ukrainians blow up all their ammo supplies, the Russians have started blowing up their own to spite them.
