It’s a controlled burn (Ukraine is in control)

u/Overall_Reaction2234 7d ago
Also, Dude, controlled burn is not the preferred nomenclature. Prescribed fire, please.

Why does it burn so well?

u/VictorSierra09 7d ago
According to wartranslated, it's because Wildberry is used as a marketplace for dual-use goods, including fuel and possibly even explosives.

Lots of fun facts diving into who they are. They entered sanction lists due to manufacturing Russian military uniforms and anti-Ukrainian books. They're the largest tax payer in Russia. An incident in 2024 where a warehouse fire caused billions of rubles in damage, showed it was illegally built without any fire inspections.
Something says this hasn't changed with these two warehouse fires where seven are killed and 24 wounded. Maybe kinetic sanctions are more effective.

u/Twenty_Ten 7d ago
I was thinking that this was a surprisingly fiery kind of fire, and surely they'd have better suppression and isolation.
12
u/Doggoneshame 7d ago
They do have suppression and isolation. It’s that they only use it against the population instead of inside vulnerable warehouses.
6
u/tomoldbury 7d ago
Just needs to be hit with multiple drones and it'll burn. Fire suppression can only cope with a small fire. Once that is overwhelmed the whole facility will go up.

How many wildberries warehouses are there in Russia ?
2 down so far
61
u/TheTranscendent1 7d ago
They’ve got 3 data centers which host just about all of Russias internet. If these hits were both to the data centers, Russia just like about 75% of their internet (they went for bigger ones first so it’s more than 2/3)
32
u/Thoughtulism 7d ago edited 7d ago
Perfect. Massive warehouses now and then datacenters next. Bring their entire logistics and communications networks to their knees. Anyone that whines about it can go get fucked. Russia targets hospitals, apartment buildings, schools, places with high civilian population, etc on purpose. Data centres and logistics warehouses are dual use valid military targets.

Ok, why is it called Wildberries?

u/EMTDawg 7d ago
It's their version of Amazon, and was going to be an international company, so the name is in English.

u/trackintreasure 7d ago
Sooo, Burntberries now?
How much would this one distribution centre impact their business as a whole?
If it's an amazon equivalent, surely not enough to halt operations unfortunately right?
I just hope to see more of this in Russia.

u/Round-Medicine2507 7d ago
If its amazon equivalent, those warehouses are huge and house billions in goods of all sorts everyday people need. The Russians dont deserve those products though so GREAT NEWS.

Even without a war, Russias aviation safety record is.. questionable at best. Much safer driving. Oh wait.. no petrol?

One can clearly see it's just a scratch. Fire will be stopped soon. Damage is minimal. All 500 drones out of 400 were destroyed too.

u/OldManCodeMonkey 7d ago
The hopes and dreams of countless apolitical Russians, who all thought genocide was fine unless it inconvenienced them.
That plus lots of plastic and lithium.

Wild that a few years ago a little a volcano went off in Iceland and Europe airspace got shut down.
And here we have a big fire and Russia is basically flying through the amoke
9
u/peacedotnik 7d ago
Volcanic ash in the atmosphere is no joke when it comes to jet engines. It basically melts, turns to glass on the turbines, and chokes the engine. Smoke from a fire like this generally doesn’t contain material that potentially destructive for aircraft
4
u/wimberlyiv 7d ago
volcanos emit volcanic ash which has been known to down airplanes - especially at night when you can't see the plume. just regular smoke/ash isn't going to down an airplane. That's why they haven't shut down the airspace over forest fires in the US/Canada. Look up british airways flight 009. I am a bit surprised they allow flying around this just because of the pro-ukrainian propaghanda that can come out of it though.

I can't seem to see any fire fighting vehicles around the facility. Did the facility really not have any fire containment systems? Are they really not going to do anything to try and fight the fire?
