You misunderstood Wikipedia. The list of "also called" does NOT indicate it's also produced in those countries - it just means it's sold there under the listed name. Besides, no Western country purchased licences to produce Ladas. It's the other way round - Lada purchased licences to build Fiat or Chevrolet models and sell them as Lada. Just like Chevrolet sells rebadged Daewoo cars from Korea in Europe (marketing them as Chevrolet, as Daewoo didn't have a very good image).
I expect the Russians are saying that reports of any explosions are “just American propaganda”. That’s what a RuSSian bint told me when the accident happened at Chernobyl🤥.
I had a business at a closed US military base that was a primary Army ammunition storage site. The site was almost 100 years old when it was decommissioned. It was also involved in reloading artillery shells, and it made its own explosives. The nitrate pit was 12 acres and about 15 feet deep (it was a concrete structure). The site covered about 13,000 acres. There were hundreds of ammunition storage bunkers. They were of reinforced concrete, covered with earth and separated so that when one blew up it would not affect the others. In fact, one (and only one) did blow up once due to an accident while handling ammunition. The exact cause was never determined as no one survived. None of the other bunkers were affected. It was properly planned and constructed. From the first days of this war through to this event Soviet/Russian incompetence has become very clear. It is stunning in its scope.
The really telling part about this is the munitions facility was literally cutting edge new and publicly opened and displayed as the new nuclear attack resistant munitions storage facility. In reality it couldn't survive even an impotent drone attack. I use the word impotent jokingly, but those drones were carrying small bombs not nuclear munitions. Russia is and probably always has been a paper tiger full of bluff and only bluff that has duped the world. The Soviet Union is famous for painting different numbers on the same jump jets to inflate a fleet of 8 to a fleet of 100. I bet Russia can't even maintain their once great and vast nuclear arsenal to more than a few dozen bombs considering the cost and complexity of the materials required for maintenance. Best of luck to Ukraine, I hope the world is paying attention.
Sorry to tell you this ,,, but the other bunkers didn't blow because they where filled with FAKE explosive . FAKE because the higher-ups stole the funds and bought mansions and super-yach..... Oh wait did you say US base ??? Not Russian ??? Nevermind .
....i think they are really competent at putting the money to their own pockets though? I mean they build system where its "ok" to fill your pockets depending your position and ability ...and that system is now working flawlessly as they designed it. I dont think theres really anyone caring about the individual lives lost, clearly its more important to make the "killing" in profit regardless of the consequences. Tbh its really callous mindset going through the whole society from people signing up to kill their neighbours for signup bonuses and salary all the way to the big P himself. Everyones shouting something about Russian nationalism ...but in the end everyone is out there only to make themselves rich from the war, one way or the other. If Putin cant pay the army, the morale just wont be there at all.
This reminds me of the time when they blew the dam in Ukraine and there was a Russian office saying it wasn’t flooding outside and right behind him is a window and everyone could see it for themselves. The lying never ends.
same situation as what happened to Sadam's general on a press conference in Kabul. "No Amercans in Kabul..." ... Abrams rolling down the street right behind him xD
The dam could have failed due to hydrodynamic scour, not blowing it up. All that is needed for hydrodynamic scour is laziness by not opening one side of the floodgates, so the force of the water isn't spread across the whole dam as designed. Blowing it up takes too much effort and it is known that the Russians avoided the far side because of Ukrainian snipers on the far side of the dam.
Tungsten as in armor piercing, penetrators from artillery shells or anything bigger than a 20 mm bullet? At first, I was thinking you were referring to raining thermite, because that’s what the Ukrainians did on the ammunition depot which thermite is not made of tungsten it’s made of oxidized steel shavings, which is rust and aluminum shavings at a particular ratio but when I thought of it, I’m pretty sure they used tung carbide penetrators in bullets or really really big bullets 25 mm to 125 mm. I don’t know if they use them in 20 mm and 50 BMG though.
I wish the Russian citizens well, I wish no harm upon them, however if they get a little taste of the fear and danger, Putin did to the Ukrainian people, I hope they will get a personal understanding that Putin is a war criminal and they will be lucky, if they come out of this unscathed. And realize Ukraine did nothing to deserve what Putin started.
Fear is what has been troubling the Russian people for at least a hundred years now. They live in constant fear of invasion from their enemies. That is why they have always wanted a strong man as their leader. Why they are constantly trying to expand their borders. That is why Gorbachev failed, because he was seen as too liberal and willing to appease the West. Boris Yeltsin was able to hang on for a while because of his outsized and bombastic personality but even he was eventually taken down by his own ineptitude and the Russian people turned back to their strong man authoritarian ways and gave power back to the Soviets in a former KGB agent Vlad Putin.
Unfortunately, most of them hate Ukrainians just because we dared to resist. Also, Westerners greatly overestimate the rationality of Russians. Thank you for support!
Happy Friday, Artur. Due to the explosion the depot is now unusable. It will take them months to safely clean it up as live ordinance are buried under rubble, laying on the surface all over the place. Even the silos that were not destroyed were exposed to shocks and heat that has made that ammo unstable. If they want to store replacement ammunition, thy will need to keep it outside where it is obvious and easy to hit. Don't think this will be the last attack on this facility. The pathway there is still unprotected.
The Fauld Staffordshire UK explosion during WW2 is still a site considered too dangerous for people to visit. From that we can consider that this site will also be too dangerous to use. Perhaps for 100 years.
I pointed out in your last video that as the official was telling us about how they shot down all of Ukraine's drones, you could still hear secondary explosions detonating in the background. I compared him to Baghdad Bob. I got quite a lot of comments in return. I Love that! Thank you, Artur!
They dont realize how much worse their excuse of debris is. Great confidence builder telling people your ammunition depos can be taken out with shrapnel. Quality concrete ya got there comrade!
The bunkers were at twice their designed capacity. There are photos of ammo stocked on the entrance of the bunkers. My guess is that Ukraine targeted those extra stocks and... Voilà🎉
Either there are very few personnel there, or they only count the ones they can find. the rest were blown into another oblast and don't count. Russian bookkeeping
After all, the explosion site is close to Estonia. You can see the smoke from your window, can't you?! And then to the point: When the Russians approached Kiev in February 2022, the attack had to be stopped because they had great difficulty with the tires. The money for good tires had been put into their own pockets, and cheap and low-quality Chinese tires had been bought instead, which broke down in use. Corruption saved Kiev!
And the tyre debacle is even worse when you consider that the USSR was the world leader in off road tyre technology for decades . The best tractor & mine tyres were always the ones made in the USSR . A person in my social circle who had a PhD ended up going there for a 5 years on an exchange program to learn more about tyres
Also, I have a strong suspicion that many vehicle operators sold their fuel allotments, because they were told it was just training and they expected to spend the week drinking and ignoring the radio in Belarus

Lada sport was not made in Iceland, i was sold under this name. I owned one, and borrowed another when I went for a highland trek for my honeymoon. When we woke up one morning the battery was flat. But, since I had owned one, I knew I could take of the number plate in the front, put a metal rod into a hole and crank the engine on, 1920s style. Fond memories :). I also owned 2 different lada samara´s. In the early 90s Russian fishermen started to buy old beat up Ladas in Iceland to take back to Russia and refurbish them. Since then sightings of Lada´s has been rare. Oh and one other story. One of my Lada samara´s had a trouble starting. What I needed to do was to open the front where the engine is, take a horse shoe and pound it on the engine. It always started with this mistreatment, which I guess is so very Russian

Hey Artur, former Marine here. You know what a claymore mine is. Basically 3.5 pounds of cheap destructive power. Mount it forward facing on a drone and you have an incredible flying anti personnel or anti drone device. When that thing is just pointed in the direction and a 100000 bearings can't miss.

Anna from Ukraine said that the explosions destroyed 6km diameter! That is HUGE if true! The distant photos suggest it might be true. According to CoPilot, this amounts to: 1) 3.4 miles diameter 2) 7K acres! 3) 5K football fields 4) Bigger explosions than the 1945 nuclear explosions at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which destroyed 3.2K and 1.7K acers respectively. 5) The sum 3.2K + 1.7K = 4.9K < 7K!! So the explosions were bigger than two nuclear bombs (but w/o fallout)!
It damaged things up to 6km away, but didn't destroy it. The 2 main explosions were 1.8 kT and 1.5 kT. There are "just" max 30k tons of ammunition in this storage facility. You would have to blow up nearly everything of that at once, to get an explosion, larger than Nagasaki. Edit: and ofc the explosion of both nuclear bombs together is larger, than the 30k tons you can store in this russian storage facility. So it's damaged, broken windows and such stuff up to 6km away, and the size of the 2 main explosions already are known 🤷♂️
Anna is a literature instructor. She has mentioned on her channel that she "disliked" any Ukrainian in uniform...until the invasion. This reminds me of Russians who aren't "political"....until the war comes to there front door. Anna is no longer on my watch list. Good Luck to her. (from former 17 year uniform wearing US Air Force vet)
@@leonnunhofer3453 Not all explosives are the same. The _Minor Scale_ test on June 27, 1985 used 4,744 tons of ammonium nitrate and fuel oil (ANFO) to simulate a eight kiloton air-burst nuclear blast after surface testing was banned. That was the largest planned detonation of conventional explosives in history. The 2020 Beirut warehouse explosion was calculated as 0.5 kilotons to 1.12 kilotons from only 2750 tons that had been stored for six years. It was felt over 250km (160 mi) away in Cyprus.
Lada Bushman - Australia: Friends had this car for fishing, it was great as a work car also - No one pinched it, broke into it or damaged it 🙂 I liked how it was basic, easy to clean and cheap to run.
Also, when actually threatened, they send in other people to get hurt in their stead. Non-russkis as long as available, actual russkis in a pinch, but russkis without money or importance. Human lives mean nothing to cleptocratic psychopaths.
Just FYI, those Ladas weren't made in those countries, that's just the name they were sold under. Here in Australia almost none were actually sold. I've seen one in my entire life here.
Built like a tank, drove like one and gas consumption would go up by 30% from time to time. Lada Niva is another beast, cheap, rugged and it would always dare to go there where I didn't. Had it for a few years then sold it to a logger. Almost hit a 110km/h but then it was so loud that you could barely talk. One hell of an offroad machine being real 4x4, not those road beauties, high clearance. The heating was unbelievable, made for -50C and it would almost melt rubber shoes. Not much of repairs. IF they were not dumb they could sell a ton.
They have to load and unload ammunition regularly. So a lot of the time there would be vehicles outside. But the other bunkers should not collapse if the site was made according to the plan.
@@duudsuufd Watch Jake Broe. He showed before pictures from a satellite. They were storing massive amounts outside in the open. Maybe the bunkers were fillid and there wasn't more space, or the missiles were too big, In any case, the site was packed full.
The ridiculousness of the situation has caused nearly every channel to play the clip. For US viewers, it sounds like early evening on the 4th of July. Constant crackle of fireworks. He states, "All drones shot (pop) down, but debris (crackle) fell on the facility (boom)." Many more than that!! Suchomimus suggests Ukraine name their next drone "Debris", so that when russians state 'unfortunately Debris hit the target', they can be truthful, for once!
Russians and Americans are in the ISS International Space Station. I bet that cloud seen from orbit around the planet lead to some very interesting conversations or an uncomfortable silence amongst the astronauts and cosmonauts.
To my certain knowledge they were never made in NZ. How we got on the list is probably because back in the late 1970's early 80's we sold dairy products to the USSR, which they could not pay for. Our then dairy board took Lada Nevas as an alternative payment. The company I worked for cut them in half, fitted chassis rails and a flat deck for the dairy company, who then sold them to farmers as 4 wheel drive farm vehicles. I still have a few Lada Neva rubber seals and bits and pieces in the shed.
😂 priceless, watching the RU cover up Is like the ‘Keystone cops movies’ made in the USA in 1912 ! Artur a small correction - The arms depot WAS OPENED IN 2018, not launched , the Ukrainians actually literally launched the depot on 18th September 2024 😎🎉 Slava Ukraine … 💪🇺🇦
And the crooks are also your friends and relatives and their Friends and Relatives are watching your six o'clock when the music stops. Ya he's looking a little ng like beyond meet...?
$275 million is way lower than what I imagined! If there were 30.000 tons of ammo and an 155 round costs between 3-5k$ and weights less than 50kg... I was estimating around 2,5 billion dollars!! I know that probably they didnt get to destroy all the ammo, but if you also consider that missiles like s-400 or iskhander are way more expensive...
Russian rounds [Russia doesn't use 155mm, but 152mm for example], don't cost that much. Their big missiles like Iskander are actually in low supply, so there aren't many being stored. Their last batch got used recently. A large amount of the munitions was probably for things like MLRS which are fairly cheap too.
The sheer scale of the ammo dump’s destruction makes me think they maybe had extra surplus ammo stored outside of the “bunkers” as well. At this point nothing would surprise me.
BTW the ushanka hat was "invented" after the russians invaded Finland and saw finnish forces with those kinds of hats. Many of the soviet troops were from ukraine where people aren't as used to cold winters as in finland. What a surprise... Russians couldn't invent their national symbol by themselves.
the 200-bed facility was just for the support staff they have a name for the type of unit but they said 200 support allowed for eight hundred additional combat troops to be housed at this facility. will we ever know how many died like on the Moskava they said 15 sailors died the other 500 just got lost on their way home.
The Russian Military has upgraded their logistical efficacy, they've graduated from storing their Ammunition next to stockpiles of Ammonium Nitrate, to storing their largest stockpiles of Ammunition out in the open, despite having built bunkers on that site......
The mayor or whatever who speaks while the explosions are going on reminds me of Frank Drebin in the Naled Gun movie where a fireworks factory explodes while hes standing in front of it yelling "Nothing to see here!" 😄
Lol, “we destroyed the drones with our ammunition depot”. That’s like taking all the toilet paper out of the bathroom and saying, we don’t have to worry about the toilets getting stopped up from toilet paper anymore because we took it all out.
Thank you so very much for the uplifting update presented with joy . Happy Friday to you and ALL Ukrainian Defenders' and supporters' . SLAVA UKRAINI !!! 💙💛💙 🤍💙🤍 💙💛🤍
According to the news I heard it was an attack with 100 drones. How many got through was not stated. Before retiring I worked in the automotive industry. The last contract we won before I retired was to lada if do not remember wrong. I was not involved in it myself. Very soon after the invasion the project was closed. The guy in charge of the project left the same day as I retired.

That's the amount that was CONFIRMED stolen. The part that he failed to properly hide. Multiply by 2 to 2.5 to get the actual amount.
It's already on Wikipedia's list of biggest non-nuclear explosions in history.

That explains why the bunkers were built with plasterboard instead of concrete.
10 casualties, with all that ammunition around? During war time? Me thinks it's a hell of a lot higher 😮
Hard to count dead people that have been vaporized.
Either there are very few personnel there, or they only count the ones they can find. the rest were blown into another oblast and don't count. Russian bookkeeping
you can only transfer bodies that you can find ... considering the size of the blast most people caught in it would be atomized

Reminds me of James bond Goldeneye, when bond meets felix in moscow. Hes trying to get the car started, asks bond for the hammer. Bond hands dinky hammer. Felix says, "No, the sledge" and proceeds the bash the engine till it starts. 🤣
China is taking notice how easy Russia can be beat.
Nearby residents said the explosion was so big they thought it was nuclear
👍👍
It was literally 15 kT. Hiroshima was 16 kT
@@kompatybilijny9348 FUN BACT ...IM CANADIAN AND STANDREWS CANADA THE HALIFAX SHIP EXPLOSION WAS IN THE MAKE UP ...I SAW WITH MY OWN EYS THE ANCHOR OF THE SHIP SUM 8 KILOMETERS AWAY AND LANDED ON A GUYS LAWN AND IS STILL THERE TODAY WEIGHT WOULD BE 1 TON + MY GUESS
@@kompatybilijny9348Uh, no. The blast was somewhere in the 1.3-1.8 kt range. Also, we don’t know the exact yield of the Hiroshima blast. It was around 15 kt.
And supposedly, someone in the town said that after the main blast his ears were bleeding...no idea how much kablooie that takes, but clearly more than a little bit.
You could see how scared the local governor looked while he was telling his lies. Like trying to figure out where to hide his embezzlement
he think how to escape to usa...
The two other guys were glad it wasn't them!
@@orchidorioThey were standing right beside him - they’re automatically guilty by association.
Two movie quotes come to mind:
"They set up an explosion worth 40 Million Dollars - and the cameras weren't even rolling."
and Frank Drebin:"Please disperse, there's nothing to see here!"
That has to be one of THEE funniest parts of that movie
Frank Drebin POLICE SQUAD!
@@WestSideGorilla1980that particular scene was in naked gun: from the files of police squad
The few bunkers and buildings not showing signs of collapse may have been empty....so this attack may have had a 100% success rate!
Even if the damage isnt visible the damage from proximity to such an explosion would render any ‘splodies stored unstable
@@kMegalonyx OTOH, that likely wouldn't prevent Russian officers from ordering their soldiers to try using them.
That ammo was just like Pootin, going off prematurely.
Ka-Putin.
Hey Artur, former Marine here. You know what a claymore mine is. Basically 3.5 pounds of cheap destructive power. Mount it forward facing on a drone and you have an incredible flying anti personnel or anti drone device. When that thing is just pointed in the direction and a 100000 bearings can't miss.
From South Africa, it is very insightful as always. Thank you, my brother
@Wildnothing • Every time I see a comment here from a patriotic civilised and intelligent South African 🇿🇦 like you. I feel happy, keep safe and stay blessed. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦 and Nkosi sikelela i Ukraine 🇺🇦 🇬🇧
Hi Artur. Thank you! 💪💪🇺🇦💪💪💙💛
Wtf?! This russian car?! How incompetent can you be?
Russian: Yes 🤤
Happy Friday, Artur!
The Oblast governor took cues from Baghdad Bob, telling "We destroyed all the drones" while his ammo dump fireworks loudly continue in the background.
Pootin yakking away on a pedestal now reminds me of cranky old Meerkat 😂
Anna from Ukraine said that the explosions destroyed 6km diameter! That is HUGE if true! The distant photos suggest it might be true. According to CoPilot, this amounts to:
1) 3.4 miles diameter
2) 7K acres!
3) 5K football fields
4) Bigger explosions than the 1945 nuclear explosions at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which destroyed 3.2K and 1.7K acers respectively.
5) The sum 3.2K + 1.7K = 4.9K < 7K!! So the explosions were bigger than two nuclear bombs (but w/o fallout)!
It damaged things up to 6km away, but didn't destroy it. The 2 main explosions were 1.8 kT and 1.5 kT.
There are "just" max 30k tons of ammunition in this storage facility. You would have to blow up nearly everything of that at once, to get an explosion, larger than Nagasaki.
Edit: and ofc the explosion of both nuclear bombs together is larger, than the 30k tons you can store in this russian storage facility.
So it's damaged, broken windows and such stuff up to 6km away, and the size of the 2 main explosions already are known 🤷♂️
🤯🤯🤯
Anna is a literature instructor. She has mentioned on her channel that she "disliked" any Ukrainian in uniform...until the invasion. This reminds me of Russians who aren't "political"....until the war comes to there front door. Anna is no longer on my watch list. Good Luck to her. (from former 17 year uniform wearing US Air Force vet)
@@leonnunhofer3453 Not all explosives are the same. The _Minor Scale_ test on June 27, 1985 used 4,744 tons of ammonium nitrate and fuel oil (ANFO) to simulate a eight kiloton air-burst nuclear blast after surface testing was banned. That was the largest planned detonation of conventional explosives in history. The 2020 Beirut warehouse explosion was calculated as 0.5 kilotons to 1.12 kilotons from only 2750 tons that had been stored for six years. It was felt over 250km (160 mi) away in Cyprus.
@@markjohnson1933 People change, and change must be embraced!
Lada Bushman - Australia: Friends had this car for fishing, it was great as a work car also - No one pinched it, broke into it or damaged it 🙂 I liked how it was basic, easy to clean and cheap to run.
The money shows up in London. Big houses, private schools, diamonds, mistresses.
God bless Ukraine and it's people who didn't want this war 🇺🇦
Happy Friday back to you my dude from a different brood !!!!!!!!
"Get your popcorn" as I am literally eating popcorn 😂
There used to be a car sticker 30 years ago in the UK which read “my other car is a Lada Niva”
Happy Friday guys
It's Russian arrogance. They literally think they are smarter and better than everyone else, and that no one has the ability to hurt them.
Also, when actually threatened, they send in other people to get hurt in their stead. Non-russkis as long as available, actual russkis in a pinch, but russkis without money or importance. Human lives mean nothing to cleptocratic psychopaths.
Not big fans of truth nor reality, are they? 😒
thank you Artur for saying happy friday!
happy Friday my dude, glad for you to see me again, luv ya
Crew on that site reported around 200ppl cuz there were also like barracks so 10ppl died for 26 warehouses blown up huh..
Happy Friday! Your greetings are half the joy of watching the video! :)
Just FYI, those Ladas weren't made in those countries, that's just the name they were sold under. Here in Australia almost none were actually sold. I've seen one in my entire life here.
Built like a tank, drove like one and gas consumption would go up by 30% from time to time. Lada Niva is another beast, cheap, rugged and it would always dare to go there where I didn't. Had it for a few years then sold it to a logger. Almost hit a 110km/h but then it was so loud that you could barely talk. One hell of an offroad machine being real 4x4, not those road beauties, high clearance. The heating was unbelievable, made for -50C and it would almost melt rubber shoes. Not much of repairs. IF they were not dumb they could sell a ton.
Satellite images from before the explosion shows ammunition and missiles outside and unprotected.
They have to load and unload ammunition regularly. So a lot of the time there would be vehicles outside.
But the other bunkers should not collapse if the site was made according to the plan.
@@duudsuufd Watch Jake Broe. He showed before pictures from a satellite. They were storing massive amounts outside in the open. Maybe the bunkers were fillid and there wasn't more space, or the missiles were too big, In any case, the site was packed full.
No audio of Governor speaking with bombs going off, completely silent
Artur: "Can you hear that?"
Us: "unfortunately, no we can't" :D
There is a link in the description above... I don't know Russian, but I do know nervousness and embarrassment... :D
The ridiculousness of the situation has caused nearly every channel to play the clip.
For US viewers, it sounds like early evening on the 4th of July. Constant crackle of fireworks.
He states, "All drones shot (pop) down, but debris (crackle) fell on the facility (boom)." Many more than that!!
Suchomimus suggests Ukraine name their next drone "Debris", so that when russians state 'unfortunately Debris hit the target', they can be truthful, for once!
@@WhatAboutTheBee Suchomimus has made an interesting assessment of the condition of the facility
@@gerhardgerber6762 agreed!
Happy Friday people
Russians and Americans are in the ISS International Space Station. I bet that cloud seen from orbit around the planet lead to some very interesting conversations or an uncomfortable silence amongst the astronauts and cosmonauts.
When the fabricated excuse, is worse than reality.
The Ladas in NewZealand where received as butter payments, we modified them in Palmerston North, made utes out of them.
Thanks for the news
To my certain knowledge they were never made in NZ. How we got on the list is probably because back in the late 1970's early 80's we sold dairy products to the USSR, which they could not pay for. Our then dairy board took Lada Nevas as an alternative payment.
The company I worked for cut them in half, fitted chassis rails and a flat deck for the dairy company, who then sold them to farmers as 4 wheel drive farm vehicles.
I still have a few Lada Neva rubber seals and bits and pieces in the shed.
I grew up in the Waikato and do recall seeing plenty of Lada’s in my youth.. 😂
Thanks!
The warehouses are still standing were empty.
I guess your right, the Russias used it all up to blow up old age homes and kindergartens in Ukraine.
Thanks Artur
Happy Friday 🎉🎉🎉
😂 priceless, watching the RU cover up Is like the ‘Keystone cops movies’ made in the USA in 1912 !
Artur a small correction - The arms depot WAS OPENED IN 2018, not launched , the Ukrainians actually literally launched the depot on 18th September 2024
😎🎉
Slava Ukraine … 💪🇺🇦
Or it was Re-Launched
Heroyam Slava ! 🇺🇦
If you hire crooks, you'll get ripped off.
And the crooks are also your friends and relatives and their Friends and Relatives are watching your six o'clock when the music stops. Ya he's looking a little ng like beyond meet...?
That explains your voting choices in US election too.
Ruzzia looking more like Mordor than ever !
$275 million is way lower than what I imagined!
If there were 30.000 tons of ammo and an 155 round costs between 3-5k$ and weights less than 50kg... I was estimating around 2,5 billion dollars!!
I know that probably they didnt get to destroy all the ammo, but if you also consider that missiles like s-400 or iskhander are way more expensive...
Russian rounds [Russia doesn't use 155mm, but 152mm for example], don't cost that much. Their big missiles like Iskander are actually in low supply, so there aren't many being stored. Their last batch got used recently.
A large amount of the munitions was probably for things like MLRS which are fairly cheap too.
That Governor lol... "It's ok, I used my face to stop the guys fist who was trying to punch me"
Even stuff that not exploded on that site, might be broken since it still went thru a local earthquake lol..
Friend of mine had a nLada Taiga in 1985 - it was a nice car, very robust, easy to maintain and very cheap. But no bad quality.
Happy Friday Artur
The sheer scale of the ammo dump’s destruction makes me think they maybe had extra surplus ammo stored outside of the “bunkers” as well. At this point nothing would surprise me.
That is the case at some sites in russia
I saw satellite images yesterday showing large amounts of ammunition being stored outside, beside some of the bunkers
Dude at 13:19 wearing an English Language "Suck It" shirt LoL
"special ammo relocation operation"......
"what is new is the consequence" of corruption = Well said. Thank you for this report and Slava Ukraini!
Heroyam Slava ! 🇺🇦
Thanks, Artur.
Ladas were not built in the UK, but they were imported and sold there for a number of years:
My parents knew some old 60’s radical lefty types who bought a Lada on principle and swore by it .
Things that make you go BOOM
BTW the ushanka hat was "invented" after the russians invaded Finland and saw finnish forces with those kinds of hats. Many of the soviet troops were from ukraine where people aren't as used to cold winters as in finland.
What a surprise... Russians couldn't invent their national symbol by themselves.
..the plume over the ammo dump looks like a huge thundercloud...
the 200-bed facility was just for the support staff they have a name for the type of unit but they said 200 support allowed for eight hundred additional combat troops to be housed at this facility. will we ever know how many died like on the Moskava they said 15 sailors died the other 500 just got lost on their way home.
Friday! Have a good weekend everyone!
Nice. Another entertaining and informative report. Keep up the good work
The Russian Military has upgraded their logistical efficacy, they've graduated from storing their Ammunition next to stockpiles of Ammonium Nitrate, to storing their largest stockpiles of Ammunition out in the open, despite having built bunkers on that site......
The mayor or whatever who speaks while the explosions are going on reminds me of Frank Drebin in the Naled Gun movie where a fireworks factory explodes while hes standing in front of it yelling "Nothing to see here!" 😄
6:27 - No, we do not hear it, video is muted :D
Lol, “we destroyed the drones with our ammunition depot”. That’s like taking all the toilet paper out of the bathroom and saying, we don’t have to worry about the toilets getting stopped up from toilet paper anymore because we took it all out.
Thank you so very much for the uplifting update presented with joy . Happy Friday to you and ALL Ukrainian Defenders' and supporters' . SLAVA UKRAINI !!! 💙💛💙 🤍💙🤍 💙💛🤍
Heroyam Slava ! 🇺🇦
There is no sound at all of the governor speaking while there are explosions in the back :(
According to the news I heard it was an attack with 100 drones.
How many got through was not stated.
Before retiring I worked in the automotive industry.
The last contract we won before I retired was to lada if do not remember wrong.
I was not involved in it myself.
Very soon after the invasion the project was closed.
The guy in charge of the project left the same day as I retired.
Also we aren't sure it spreaded (not necessarily) cuz it was a huge kamikaze attack with many drones.
Awesome and waiting to hear what you had to say about this,
Is big Badda Boom!!!💥
