  1. Ohhh – That is a nice picture — streaming rockets, a rising cloud the colour of marigolds..

    Beautiful.

    I could watch Ukr do this all day.

  2. They like to smoke new big piles of explosives. SMH….

  3. I’ll take a still pic, but videos are so much more enjoyable — just not on X. Hoping for the worst.

  4. It’s not quite a Toropets, but this if this ammo site is also a total loss, this is a post Easter “truce” gift.

    If it’s 100k tons of munitions, it could have pretty observable battlefield impacts. Toropets blew up 3 months’ worth of 120mm shells so if the claim holds true, it’ll likely disrupt their renewed offensives.

  5. Reading too quickly gave me “in orbit”, which I wasn’t sure if it was an exaggeration or not.

    Glad it’s gone either way.

  6. >According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the fire erupted at the site due to a violation of safety protocols when working with explosive materials.
