I suspect that no matter what really happened no one is going to admit that it was another accident caused by Ukrainian personnel who are poorly trained and careless. So, a Russian made drone and a single thermite grenade it is.
McCrazy sure is going to be unhappy that his ammo went up in smoke
All too easy. Recall the kid about a year ago that mounted a pistol on his drone. Drones and self-driving cars are all too likely going to be terrorist tools. A grenade seems easy to envision as it could be held in place by the pin mounted on a servo motor. Active to remove it and the grenade is armed and dropped, drone returns for reload. Be hard to top $1 billion of damage with one grenade.
Crowd pleasers.
The power of asymmetric warfare.

OUTSTANDING. Of course I knew about it earlier from my handlers, but it still is really cool to see it getting into the Western media.
(p.s., I’m a Russian troll because I support some of Putin’s policies)
Boy, I need one of those for my liberal British neighbor.
They stole and sold in the black market arms trade,
destroyed the evidence.
“an explosion that caused an astounding billion dollars worth of damage”
Where did they get this ‘billion dollars’ worth of ammunition?
My ad blocker won’t let me see the article. This one does.

Wonder who’s drone it was.
All eggs + 1 basket = 0
Cool video
IMO for a single grenade to set it all off, the stuff must have been stacked outside all bunched up/piled up.
I am no weapons storage expert, but I kinda think this stuff should have been segregated in a series of well spaced dirt covered bunkers. In which case a simple grenade would likely set nothing off.
All I have to say is: Someone’s pissed.
This was A YEAR AGO.
Not too smart to store that much in munitions in one place.
Dumb, dumb, dumb.
Going to check that link now.
Those east of the Balkans have never understood the proper storage of munitions, fuel, explosive gases, chemical weapons, nuclear waste, etc.
Compare that to a typical US Army motor pool, that actually needs to be mapped to have a half dozen separate storage sites for even common things.

That’s gonna set off a few car alarms.
