Apparently, Ukrainian drones pushed through and started a chain reaction.
Explosions reportedly continued for hours, and authorities evacuated nearby settlements. Initial reports indicate that the site, previously protected by one of Russia’s densest air defense networks, suffered catastrophic damage.
But a unit of artillery shell doesn’t weigh a ton.
True, for some reason, I thought of units instead of tons lmao.
The damage is significantly worse then, probably months worth of production, maybe even a year. A standard shell weighs like what, 45kg?
Don’t forget that artillery shells need charges to work. And these weight more than the actual shell.
264.000.000kg/(45kg/unit) = around 5.866.666 units? Just wanted to have the number so others see the impact.
