Bring the war home to these cunts

Let me guess, fire caused by someone smoking a cigarette again?

[-] NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social 17 points 1 year ago

Nah, "unlicensed pyrotechnic factory" this time

[-] dimath@ttrpg.network 28 points 1 year ago

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

[-] dog@suppo.fi 53 points 1 year ago

Do you ...

  1. Admit your own military factory blew up due to a fuckup/enemy sabotage.
  2. Or lie that it was actually something else to save face, like Russia has done for centuries?
[-] dimath@ttrpg.network 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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?

[-] Loulou@lemmy.mindoki.com 6 points 1 year ago

Smart Russians spreading misinformation.

you can clearly see ~~122mm~~ ~~57mm?~~ ~~76mm?~~ 122mm without fuze adapter? shells in the last two videos

122mm would make the most sense, because there's fuckton 122mm guns in russian storage. or maybe grad warhead, also 122mm. i don't know anymore, scale of this thing is wack

who doesn't enjoy some recreational grad salvo?

Special celebratory operation

[-] SentiEnt@lemmy.pt 20 points 1 year ago

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 8 points 1 year ago

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.

Manufacturing shells in the middle of a populated area? How Russian of them.

[-] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Why waste lives and resources fighting Russia on the battlefield when they're perfectly capable of blowing themselves up?

[-] Nioxic@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Nice!

[-] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 9 points 1 year ago

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