“In total, there are about 40 thousand artillery shells of a 125 and 152-mm caliber there.”
Wow! In all that they’ve managed to come up with a new unit of measure, the “mm caliber!” Never accuse the media of havint two brain cells to rub together!
Blown Up real good . Saw pictures of Artillery shells imbedded in roads
When the Ruskies have an industrial accident they don’t screw around!
Vodka and highly exothermic unstable chemicals dont mix
Hmmm... who knows what really happened here. Official story is plausible, I guess, but... even the first a-bomb test in New Mexico was explained away as an ammo explosion.
Hold muh vodka, comrade.
Why do the Russians always put these Auto Exploding Ammo Dumps in towns ?
I beg to differ. Well, at least I survived my youthful misadventures so, it can be done.
Russians have a problem with the concept of “safety margin”.

Wow, that blowed up real good.
Rifle range qualification and training has been set back a while though I betcha.
Yeah, that “blowed up real good”.
Wonder if precautions about radioactivity is because of depleted uranium?
In the videos I’ve seen I’m amazed of the shock wave produced. Can’t imagine being up close.
Uuuuhh. Hmm. I've been reloading and shooting for 20 years. Mebbe I've missed something in that time(Or mebbe I'm havin a brain fart. It's kinda late.), but the diameter measurement of the projectile is basically the "caliber" of the weapon. I.e.- 7mm is the caliber of 7mm-08, .284 Remington, 7mm Magnum and other cartridges. Although there is some grey area concerning caliber measurements on grooves or lands of the barrel, as I understand. And don't eeeeven get started on lead. Hehehe.
..Mebbe there's different terminology/nomenclature concerning artillery. But that I don't reload for.. d;^)
The 152 mm is believable as that is an artillery caliber. I am guessing the 125 should be 122 mm. 125 mm is a tank gun caliber.
You mean you’ve never reloaded a 5” 38 calibre, or 16” 50 calibre bullet?
Gee. Maxine Waters wants to outlaw those guns, ya know.
