    “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?

        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
