Ukraine is reported to be expanding that bridgehead.

An ammunition factory in Moscow goes kaboom, which causes an explosion at a factory that produces precision optical equipment for the military.

x The source of the explosion at the Zagorsk optical-mechanical plant NE of Moscow, Russia, appears to be an ammunition production facility collocated at the industrial complex. And, apparently, the local authorities are pretty sensitive about filming and releasing this… pic.twitter.com/AYbngGhPCa — OSINT (Uri) 🇺🇦 (@UKikaski) August 9, 2023

It was quite an explosion.

x They didn’t see it coming!



According to Russian reports this WAS a factory that made optical sights for the Russian military.

Maybe this is the cause.

Russian media report that the general director of PIRO-ROSS plant, Sergei Chankaev (where the explosion allegedly happened), has been detained and is being brought for interrogation. Reportedly, director of the company hired illegal migrants for his enterprise. The owner of the pyrofirm allegedly claims that the explosion occurred in a neighboring workshop, not in the warehouse where he stored his pyrotechnics. Does this mean that a Russian strategic military plant was renting out its premises for commerce and illegals were working there?

If this is true, it is quite interesting — a military unit to specifically target high-ranking Russian commanders. Sort of like a Ukrainian version of the Inglorious Bastards.

A double-tap strike is when the Russians send a missile at a target like an apartment building, then send another to the same target later in order to kill first-responders.
