I was wondering about that. It starting to look as if Logistics is as dangerous a posting as the front line. They cannot all be 'user error' and it implies that the Russian Front line is porous at best

I was wondering about that. It starting to look as if Logistics is as dangerous a posting as the front line. They cannot all be 'user error' and it implies that the Russian Front line is porous at bestWhat a day... Multiple explosions in three locations in the occupied territories.
Distances to the frontline, according to Deepstatemap:
Kyrylivka - 127 km, Genichesk - 157 km, Novofedorivka (Crimea) - 207 km.
Until today, the longest-range Ukrainian weapon was Tochka U with (officially announced)110 km.
One killed, eight injured as blasts rock Russian air base in annexed Crimea
An advisor to Ukraine's President denies Kyiv is behind explosions at a Russian air base near seaside resorts in annexed Crimea.www.abc.net.au
Indeed. It's clear that if you're an invader within the territory of Ukraine you are no longer untouchable, wherever you are.What a day... Multiple explosions in three locations in the occupied territories.

Apparently so, if this July Tweet's claims can be verifed.Did Ukraine receive MGM-140 ATACMS rockets for their MLRS/HIMARS launchers?
Unless they attacked the airbase with aircraft I see no other option to attack at that range
Russia is claiming that there was a "self-detonation of munitions" at the base. How considerate. Even Russia's own munitions are against them.
It reads like a shitty excuse to me.
Show me a Russian excuse that wasn't shitty! I mean, really, please...from the excuse for the (not an) invasion, to the "we achieved our objectives and now we're refocusing" form of retreat, to the "the West made us do it." They're all laughable.
An article I read referred to smoking cigarettes being a possible cause according to the Russians.
You reminded me of this smoking officer aboard HMS Ark Royal.What idiot doesn't know that a flight-line is no-smoking for a reason?
Yes. Multiple, simultaneous cigarette smokers over the course of nearly 30 minutes....
Shades of the Iraqi Ministry of Information circa 2003 here.
Mighty rude of the Ukrainians to interrupt a smoke-break.
Perhaps they were (and still are) trying to put up a smokescreen ?An article I read referred to smoking cigarettes being a possible cause according to the Russians.
What idiot doesn't know that a flight-line is no-smoking for a reason? Even if the Russian explanation is perfectly true, it bespeaks a very shoddy level of training and/or discipline. It reads like a shitty excuse to me.
