    Massive fire with secondaries as AFU strikes larg ammo depot in the [#Veronezh](https://x.com/hashtag/Veronezh?src=hashtag_click) region of Russia

    Let’s start with the Russian account which, not surprisingly, claims all Urkainian UAV’s were shot down and the resulting debris fell on the ammo depot’s warehouse:

    According to Veronezh Governor Gusev, “at night, air defense forces on duty discovered and destroyed several UAVs over the territory of the Voronezh region. When their remains fell, a fire occurred in one of the warehouses. In the Podgorensky district, the detonation of explosive objects began.” He added that buses had been prepared to evacuate residents of nearby settlements.

    The warehouse is located at a Russian military installation north of the town of [#Sergeevka](https://x.com/hashtag/Sergeevka?src=hashtag_click) at geocoordinates 50.434384, 39.812224 and was struck early in the morning of July 7, 2024.

    Ukrainian sources state the Russian military used the warehouse to store “surface-to-surface and surface-to-air missiles, shells for tanks and artillery, and boxes of ammunition for firearms.” The characteristics of the secondary explosions at the warehouse do appear to be from the detonation of rockets and or missiles. NASA FIRMS thermal imagery confirms a large fire is located at the facility which is shown in the below video.

    If only Ukraine had known that that warehouse was going to completely randomly explode ANYWAY, they could have saved themselves a few drones.

    In other words, the russians claim that they weren’t able to intercept the UAVs in the hours the UAVs spent in russian airspace and instead the russians only managed to shoot them down in the last second.

    I don’t think they really considered the implications of their “version of reality”…
