Bring the war home to these cunts

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

[-] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

Nah, "unlicensed pyrotechnic factory" this time

[-] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago

Good.

“Is unexpected fireworks for enjoyment of the people”

unannounced festivities

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

Special celebratory operation

TV News at my country claimed this was a factory that "made optics for the Russian military". Nice big optics explosion though

[-] [email protected] 10 points 2 years 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.

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

[-] [email protected] 55 points 2 years ago

Do you ...

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?

[+] [email protected] -50 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years 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?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

Smart Russians spreading misinformation.

\s

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

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

who doesn't enjoy some recreational grad salvo?

[-] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

That's a shame.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

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

[-] [email protected] 15 points 2 years ago

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

[-] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

Nice!

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

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

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Video of the explosion

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

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

I like how the guy's first reaction was to take out his phone and calmly record it 🗿

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Thanks. :)

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I’d have been terrified lol

[-] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

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

[-] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

Damn Wikipedia is quick.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago
