Default Russian rockets gone wild!
Video of a military warehouse fire cooking off a bunch of AAMs...

Unofficial sources say that at least 400 air-to-air rockets were damaged at a cost of about $82m (£41m).


Looks like a pretty big (and extremely dangerous) snafu to me!

They actually let people get that close !?! I would have evacuated that place for miles around !!! If that happened in the States, you could be SURE that people would be shuffled off ASAP including the idiot standing there with the cam corder !!!

I wonder if anyone's house got hit.

Good one!

400 does sound like quite a number though. I'd imagine it could be a real dent in the overall stockpile, especially if these were the newer types of missiles.

Lodeynoye Pole(Lotinanpelto in Finnish), is actually one of the main bases facing Finnish border, 177 IAP/177th Interceptor Aviation Regiment.
Funny how they put all the eggs in one basket:p

You'd probably be better off away from it. Just a thought.

400 is a huge loss along with the many millions.

In reading the article after the vid.

The first thing one offical doe's is LIE about it.

Once they find out it was caught on film theeeennn, they tell the truth.

And they wonder why nobody believes a word they say.
