While this is an explosives manufacturing plant in the US that just exploded

I saw the story on !news@lemmy.world

I’m cross-posting it here as apparently they produced filler for 155 mm shells. If it turns out that this is sabotage from Russian intelligence, as with the explosions in Czechia some time back, this will obviously have some substantial implications for the Ukraine situation.

EDIT: https://www.aesys.biz/supplementary-charges

Accurate Energetic Systems, LLC (AES), a prime contractor to the US Government, specializes in the production of high-grade supplementary charges for military applications. Our extensive experience and advanced manufacturing capabilities allow us to supply top-quality explosive products, including TNT and PBXN-9 Supplementary Charges, primarily used in 155 mm artillery systems.

Idk they had another explosion in 2014 and they're only a tertiary producer of explosive filler for the shells.

The risk reward in attacking such a small supplier really isn't worth it.
