In Crimea, there was a detonation of ammunition at a military airfield

August 9 2022 20

At approximately 15:20 Moscow time, on the territory of the military airfield "Saki" near the village of Novofedorovka in the Crimea, at a special ammunition storage site, several aircraft weapons located there were detonated. On August 9, the Russian Defense Ministry informed the public about this.

The ministry's communiqué clarifies that there were no casualties as a result of the incident and the aviation equipment was also not damaged. Currently, measures are being taken to extinguish the fire and clarify all the circumstances of the incident. According to a report from the scene, no fire impact on the bunded area with ammunition was recorded.

It should be noted that a large number of videos from eyewitnesses have already appeared on the Web, since the airfield is located near the resort area. The footage recorded that explosions on the territory of a military facility occur simultaneously in two places that are at a considerable distance from each other.

At the same time, from the airfield to the nearest place from which the Armed Forces of Ukraine could theoretically launch missiles at this object is 230 km. However, Kyiv currently does not have missiles of this range. Of course, if the Ukrainian anti-ship missiles "Neptune" (range up to 280 km) did not get the opportunity to strike on the ground or if the Americans did not secretly transfer to Kyiv a batch of tactical missiles MGM-140 ATACMS (range up to 300 km).

"Where it is thin, there it breaks."
Ammunition for no reason and synchronously does not explode.
Pin prick-window dressing, but in the resort Crimea!
There is work to be done...

    The investigation will figure it out. This is expected, when parachuting on the front line, the Armed Forces of Ukraine went on sabotage out of hopelessness, there is no other way to cause damage to the enemy .. Still, general civil vigilance is needed with phones on duty services .... And ammunition can no longer be stored in the sun, any quadrocopter with a grenade can undermine everything that explodes and burns ... Camouflage, shelter from the air, even simple agricultural prefabricated tin and other warehouses are already protected from saboteurs with drones, and they can get to any place on a tip from US intelligence ... Just like they previously buried into the ground at the forefront, now all ammunition and fuel and lubricants must be masked and covered from water attacks and everywhere ...

Yes, they screwed up. Joy, now Bandera will have "full pants." Do we even have a DRG? Why do these Nazis sleep peacefully? Or do we have hope for Caliber? Well, who will say now that time is playing against Russia?

  Shells cannot be stored at temperatures above 18 degrees Celsius. Under the scorching sun inside the shell box, the temperature reaches 50-60 degrees. Experienced commanders, if conditions permit, will organize instillation.

  I get dislikes on my comment like this.
  Maybe I'm wrong and this is not a shame, but one of the options for our victorious actions?

Again, Crimea excelled! If any shameful phenomenon happens, then whether it is the Black Sea Fleet or the Crimea. Do not detonate ammunition at the same time in different places. Either sabotage or drones. But in both cases, the commanders are to blame! Professionally unsuitable! But they certainly know how to sing praises very well. Here again, everything is intact and irreducible, but there are civilians wounded in nearby settlements. Does it happen?

Violation of fire safety is considered as the main cause of the incident at the airfield "Saki" in the Crimea. This was announced on Tuesday, August 9, by a source in the Russian military department.

According to him, so far only this version is being considered. "There are no signs, evidence, and even more facts of deliberate impact on ammunition in order to undermine it," RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.

acts of sabotage. This is not the first time this has happened, let me remind you that a few months before the start of a special operation in Ukraine, a new warship, which was at the shipyards of St. Petersburg, was destroyed by strange covert explosions.

  Sabotage - when they break, spoil, when they blow up, set on fire - this is sabotage. Arson of a ship under construction, an obvious planned next sabotage in the Russian Navy. There are already a series of them, one arson on the stocks of the repair of nuclear submarines with nuclear weapons on board near St. Petersburg almost ended in a nuclear disaster, the planners of sabotage, most likely from England or the USA, probably counted on this. Our answer is concern and protests...

Among the civilians outside the protected area there are injured and damaged cars.
But at the airfield itself "there were no casualties and all the equipment is intact."
Our Defense Ministry once again demonstrates its opinion about the mental abilities of the average Russian.
