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 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.

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

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?

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

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Oblast indeed

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Video of the explosion

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