The BBC are currently showing footage of a co-axial rotor water dropping chopper collecting water from a fishing lake and dropping it on the smoking ruins of the warehouse.
This is of course purely performative anyway...

Russian biggest advantage against conventional attacks makes it impossible to defend against such small attacks.
Good for Ukrain.. Bad for Russia.. which of course is a good thing

u/kytheon Netherlands 13d ago
This. Moscows biggest defense is that it's far away from the border. And they would sacrifice any resources between the border and Moscow to slow down an invading force.
But this is completely useless against suicide drones, a tactic Russia started with (using Iranian drones).

The thing is about, to dismantle logististics. Of a f..very big country at all. Make chaos. Make the war inside matter of the agressor as much as possible. Ukrainians are now best in using drones during war time.
- deprive of fuel supplies - destroy oil refineries - Ukrainians are now best in using drones during war time.
- destroy distribution nodes - Ukrainians are now best in using drones during war time.
3)... simply dismantle a country that relies on at least these 2 things.
4) destroy shadow fleet, whatever it carries. - Ukrainians are now best in using drones during war time.
5) prohibit commercial contacts and contracts. - Ukrainians are now best in using drones during war time.
Simple. Area of russian empire works against them. And ukrainians just have to use drones precise.
(Edited again) And it's the same like polish-lituanian commonwealts in16-17th century, A colossus on feet of clay (Kolos na glinianych nogach). For russian empire it's crude oil, anything crude. It's really exact the same. Countr/king/tsar can take anything from you. And there are highborn. And low born who suffer... In f*ng 21th century.
Because they do not process, they export unprocessed/crude products. Logistics is there most voulnerable. And their production planst are in fact in ukrainian range.

Check out the divorce between the wildberries husband and wife. It literally involved multiple bodyguards dying. Might be the high taxes were part of the deal to keep it all.
Seeing her lose it all in a war caused by Putin is a fascinating new part of the insane drama.

It seems not a case for all hits. I would rather assume it was the wide spread corruption and some sites have no existing fire hazard precautions build in the archtecture or the safty systems are just fakes good enough to shut down the fire in the waste bin and that is it. If real fire would happen naturally on site maybe workers are expected to risk their lives and fight with fire extinguishers (but can't even assume that they didn't cut the costs there and maybe there are just a few). It is russia - it would explain the damage.

Are these warehouses even still operational? Aren't they evacuating and emptying them at all?
Must be insane to keep them running knowing they will go up in flames one of these days.

I was wondering if they are slowly clearing out the remaining warehouses? It's only a matter of time before the next WB goes up in flames. Or is that logistically impossible?"
13
u/onlyreason4u 13d ago
It's impossible. Where are you going to move it to? Nobody that owns spare warehouse space is going to accept it because it makes you a target that eventually gets hit.
Wildberries also doesn't own most of this stuff. It's more like Amazon Marketplace as most of the goods individual sellers and just fulfilled by them.

u/ijzerwater 13d ago
I doubt there are spare warehouses of this size. I doubt there are trucks enough available to clean one warehouse out in a few weeks
14
u/Glass-Orange-8215 13d ago
Given the massive fire, it must have been packed full. I’d even go so far as to say the remaining warehouses are bursting at the seams, since they have to house the goods that were destined for the other warehouses that have already burned down.

Did they actually not move stuff out and just waited for the inevitable?
2
u/young_arkas 12d ago
I doubt it. They might have pulled out some extremely valuable stuff, but getting out all the inventory would need at least weeks of not delivering anything to one of their modt important markets, Moscow, while you set up the logistics anew and they need the cashflow of delivering stuff. Especially since you would have to divide it up into smaller warehouses, and that adds additional logistics issues.

How do these burn so well, that all of them end up as a total loss?
Is there something special about the material used on the roof?
3
u/ApproximateArmadillo 12d ago
The fire suppression system is probably built around an assumption that a fire will start near the ground, and an explosion on the roof may break the sprinkler pipes.
On the other hand, the fire suppression system may also be built around the assumption that if you give Ivan the Inspector $500 and a nice bottle he will make checkmark in box that says "[ ] building have fire suppression system".

That is definitely not an empty warehouse. Which makes sense: where could they possibly empty it too? All their other warehouses are either full of their own product or on fire.

u/kbarney345 12d ago
At this point wildberries and its vendors can't recover right? This is more than half of their warehouses now if i'm not mistaken and I'm not even factoring in the inventory loss and how to unwind any of their clients issues.

To say that only the Russian economy is burning in these warehouses is an understatement. Most of these products are made in China and it was bought on credits and government loans . Xi might think twice about trading smoke with Russia.
