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

[–] zabadoh@lemmy.ml 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.

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

[–] ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

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

[–] cybersandwich@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

Oblast indeed

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

[–] dog@suppo.fi 42 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

That’s great

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

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