I see those shovels can really cause a lot of damage 🤔🤔

It's ridicolous what I read. First total silence on Western Media. Then when this footage emerged everyone is trying to downplay the effect. Sure it was a solid rocket fuel facility but there were also about a 100 Vilkha (or Alder) missiles, many S-300 launchers, mines, munitions and a barrack that hosted 500 Ukrainian soldiers. The explosion left a crater 30 meters deep, 80 meters wide and everything was levelled to the ground in a radius of 300 meters. Sometimes the silence speaks volume. This is one of those cases.

i’d say that was about 10% of what we’ve sent them

Surprised it's been reported in the Western Press, compliments to the Times for reporting it.

"That was a quite effective shovel" Admits British Journal The Telegraph

That looked like a tiny nuke! The intense flash immediately followed by a mushroom, wow.

[marshajones]

That must have been extremely scary for the people living nearby

Nice shock wave, reminds me of that blast in Beirut a few years ago.

"This is not a very expensive weapon from NATO, because of which a crisis began in Europe - it's just a warehouse with sweets exploded." (New York Times с.)

It was over 200 tonnes of munitions and equipment in a rail yard

There is another video shot by local residents. The guys who witnessed the explosion instead of running away in search of a safe place admired this spectacle.

The world has never seen such shovels. The history of the world does not remember such a shovel. We have witnessed the best shovel in the world. If we see the results of such excavations, there will be a huge pit.

[j.jester]

Almost no coverage of this in western news.

[andrewhicks]

It was solid rocket fuel but sure, ammo depot

[enochcushite]

The fact that you can see the shockwave coming…. That’s scary

[shivanandkotian-cqgj]

This is not Russian attack this is Zelensky's fart💨 😂😂😂😂

[amazingdany]

The sound coming late after the flashy explosion is interesting à la lightning then thunder.

[ramirami]

Actually is a NATO ammo depot! Outstanding work!

[pliashmuldba]

I have no idea why someone would place large amounts of ammo in one place, when the enemy can target the whole country.

[earljohnson]

That has to hurt them and could be a reason why this offensive isn’t in full swing right now idk
