9sq Km? How big was the drone or was it an armada of em? 9 square kilometers? Full of ammo? It's ghoulish to ask, but there must have been a few casualties.
From the use of the phrase 'open berm', I'd surmise it was a large, hastily constructed depot using earth walls to separate the munitions, rather than stored properly.

If they've set off a few munitions, the heat may have forced them to cook off, and before you know it, the fires that spread and exploding munitions cause a cascade.

Casualties will probably depend on how many service personnel were they, if they've sent people in to deal with it, and the proximity of any population.

If the Ukrainians are hitting senior officers in Moscow too, it's not going to be a comfortable winter for the Russians.

This isn't a laughing matter, but use of language like that anywhere else I'd applaud.

Falling debris from a downed drone apparently set off a chain reaction of the munitions in the depot. No casualties reported.

Big news a couple of weeks ago. Someone should tell the MOD how to spell Sergeevka though.

It's the actual-approved term for when munitions prematurely fire or detonate due to reaching a temperature. This releases more heat and you get a chain reaction.

Soviet/Russian tanks were/are notorious for it due to their conditions with the autoloaders, so one round penetrating the turret could cause a fire and then...
 

It's got to be quite something to have felt like you're part of some phalanx of brave anti-war online crusaders, joining in with thousands of likeminded 'individuals' worldwide, and then finding out slowly via one simple trick that you've just been sat in your bedroom half a world away from any fighting enthusiastically amplifying Russian bot-farm propaganda for years. At least the lads over there are getting paid to push this out!
 
Programme on BBC2 9pm tonight of a group of those mercenaries who joined up to fight out there. 'Hell Jumper'.

I have no idea what possesses them. They must be very strange people.
 

Do people still actually believe these spoofers?

They've been reporting Ukraine's victory for 2 years and here we are...

I mean, dont they have some professional standards of intelligence they have to adhere to or are they just allowed to join in with the internet bun fight claiming all kinds of tripe?
