You'd think they would have learned and improved by now considering that this is like 50th time it happened?

At this point they should be the world's foremost experts on ordinance safety


Mexican and Chinese fireworks factories definitely have infinitely superior safety record compared to Russian Military

New ammo depot facility at Mozdok (43.7393589,44.5273536), one of first six completed or under construction.

New equipment repair & storage facility at Kamensk-Shakhtinsky (48.2731119,40.2627616), one of 15 planned replacing about 60-75 older facilities.

New logistic support facility at Naro-Fominsk (55.3689582,36.704466), one of 24 planned to replace about 60-75 older facilities.

Obviously a lot of old ammo and equipment are being destroyed. Interesting use of old WWII German weapons is that they are being melted down to help build the new Armed Forces Cathedral.

But problem for me with Putin and Russian accidents is that happens in every area
in every place. Not just the military ,but in modern shooping malls too..

It have to be a cultural thing..from the soviet times.. that Russians are totally careless for security , and they do things without any care for security.

Zircon is not nuclear and neither is anything else in service currently

If nuclear it could only be Buravestnik

So once again, people here react before actually getting straight info.

Eh sorry but if there is something going on they will downplay it.

Back when Chernobyl happened the Russians also tried to play that off has a none issue, they have a history of this behavior in this area

Not saying it's that level of bad but it's an example the Russians will not be upfront with whats going on if it's related to Nuclear.

The fact something Nuclear happened alone is also a huge problem.

Contamination would be from the engine fluent since it's liquid fuel engine.

No radiation.

The slight increase in radiation was measured 30km away. Issue is, if it was a nuclear device failing, it would have higher levels of leakage.

There was clearly something related to nuclear.
