In the Russian city of Yekaterinburg, the Avtomatiki defense plant is on fire
July 30, 2024
The enterprise produces electronics for rocket and space and other equipment, including intercontinental ballistic missiles. It is known that the area of the fire reaches 1000 m².
>According to local media reports, the blaze erupted late Tuesday afternoon at NPO Avtomatiki, a subsidiary of the Roscosmos space agency. It was not immediately clear what caused the fire.
NPO Avtomatiki specializes in developing and manufacturing control systems and radio-electronic equipment for rocket and space technology, as well as various industrial sectors, according to the company’s website.
Russia’s Emergency Situations Ministry said fire crews were at the scene battling the blaze.
“In the Sverdlovsk region, firefighters… are working to extinguish the roof of a workshop,” the ministry said in a statement, adding that an estimated 800 square meters (8,611 square feet) “of a building with chemical products was engulfed in flames.”
Awesome.
Self immolation
Was that a missile or sabotage? Do we know yet? Either way is good, just curious.
It is like they awoke a sleeping giant, to paraphrase Japanese Admiral Yamamoto. They were a large part of any technical prowess the USSR ever produced for decades. And now they are going to be on the receiving end of that innovation. And it will not ever stop. Woe be to the Russians because this is just the beginning. We must fund their defense so they can produce within the borders the most potent military power in Europe and an ally to Nato and the US. For decades to come. We are idiots if we do not help them succeed.
Fantastic, now RuZZnia may need to move their infrastructure to Siberia, a place they really love, still, by the time they start that it will be RuZZnia no more….lol

Crazy about all these smoking accidents lately
That’s over 1000 miles from Ukraine.
Good. Let no valid targets be safe.
