The fire at the oil depot in Proletarsk, Rostov is still not under control. The depot was hit by a Ukrainian drone on the 18th of August and still burning. The first video was filmed by Russian firefighters, second video was recorded by a Russian family from a safe distance

  1. When your air-defence fuckup can be seen from the ISS.

    And they get to see it and giggle again every 93 minutes.

  2. not much a normal truck can do. To have any idea, in 2008 a Georgia (USA) sugar factory exploded due to accumulation of sugar dust cased by a conveyor belt that got stuck overheating the motor which sparked the sugar dust.

    the fire was extremely intense and burned for 7 days requering a special company that specializes in putting out oil fires (https://www.arkansasonline.com/news/2008/feb/11/crews-dumping-water-hotspots-4-day-old-sugar-fire/)

    And that was with sugar. They are dealing with oil fire + a silo full of it. No way water alone is going to cut it. And knowing Russian corruption I wouldn’t be surprised they don’t have the special equipment needed

    They put out a gas well fire that had been burning for nearly 3 years within 20 seconds back in 1966. Perhaps they should nuke all their refineries?
