Two more BOOMS have occurred. A second ammo dump 10 miles from the first one, and a third near Krasnodar, a city in southern Russia across the way from Crimea.
THIS is the moment apocalyptic explosions tore apart two massive Russian missile and ammunition storage depots.One at Tikhoretsk contained vast quantities of...No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

If you believe Peter Zeihan he has claimed that in 1985 when the USSR was falling apart the government tried to save money by gutting a lot of technical training and education. Modern Russia never really restored it so much of the population age 50 and under lack basic technical skills. So the old trained cadre from Soviet times have all retired or long ago left the country. Many of the few well educated and trained younger people left the country at the start of Putin's war of conquest in Ukraine.

Ever since the 90's, pretty much the only technical field that has had decent salaries has been oil and gas, so there's been consistently fewer and fewer good professionals in other technical fields over the past 30 years.Indifference is Bliss

The USSR (and Russia) had an incredible education system for mathematical studies. I know many incredible algorithm engineers, algorithm scientists, physicists and other types of engineers from states that were part of the USSR in the US, South America and Europe. All left Russia, or the neighboring states, decades ago. Some support Russia over Ukraine, but none want to live in Russia.
