Russian vehicle factory ‘Elmash’ burns down in 3 square kilometre fire in Voronezh

A large fire broke out at the Elmash vehicle plant in the southwestern Russian city of Voronezh. Video footage shows smoke rising to the sky as fire brigades attempt to douse the blaze in the wreaked building. Dashcam footage shows passing motorists grinding to a stop after thick black smoke covered their windscreens. Local media report that the fire spread to around 3,000 square meters. The plant produces gearboxes, gearmotors, brakes, industrial fans, supplies electric motors. This comes after Ukrainian drones struck a Russian aviation factory also in the Voronezh region two weeks ago. Ukraine have continued to target Russian factories to slow down Putin’s ability to generate revenue to fund his war machine. #russia #ukraine #war

Too much smoking in russia

You never know if this was actual sabotage, an attack or the usual sloppiness. I presume the increase on war efforts does not help to raise security standards in production.
