    “After the blast, the governor in the region claimed that the factory was actually mainly manufacturing “pyrotechnics”.[2]” from your link.

      Do you …

      1. Admit your own military factory blew up due to a fuckup/enemy sabotage.
      2. Or lie that it was actually something else to save face, like Russia has done for centuries?

        Sure, or it was just a random semi-legal pyrotechnics production as there are probably plenty. I remember after the cold war some garbage cans on satellite images were claimed to be missile silos.

        Edit: ha, wish I could find that 00th forum post with a random Google maps image and people arguing about some green squares on it. Nevertheless, this is true and the point is - not everything is a conspiracy theory and most importantly - Russia is much less organized than you might think.
