Admit your own military factory blew up due to a fuckup/enemy sabotage.
Or lie that it was actually something else to save face, like Russia has done for centuries?

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.

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

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

[–] CafecitoHippo@lemm.ee 16 points 2 years ago

That's a shame.

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

As Russia will not end this war, the Russian war machine must be destroyed.

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] BombOmOm@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

Video of the explosion

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