Optics.


This is coolbert:

Just a research lab folks. Nothing to see here. Just move along.

1. "Plant in Moscow Oblast that suffered from explosion participated in development of next generation bomber"

From "Ukrainska Pravda" via https://www.yahoo.com | August 9, 2023.

"The Zagorsk Optical-Mechanical Plant in Moscow Oblast, where an explosion occurred on 9 August, participated in the development of a next-generation stealth bomber."

Source: Russian media outlet Agentstvo.

Quote: "As evidenced by the public procurement website, the company not only continues to supply optics to Russian security forces, but since 2019 has been involved in the development of the Russian strategic bomber-missile carrier of the new generation, Poslannik (Messenger)."

2. "Over 45 Injured After Massive Explosion Hits Military Optics Plant Near Moscow"

From https://www.zerohedge.com | story by TYLER DURDEN |  AUG 09, 2023.

"On Wednesday a Russian factory northeast of Moscow erupted into a massive explosion of unknown cause, injuring at least 45 people, and causing damage to surrounding buildings. Some are in serious condition."

"It happened at the Zagorsk optical-mechanical plant in the city of Sergiev Posad, and while there were overnight reports of another drone attack from Ukraine on the capital city being thwarted, TASS and other state sources are saying it was an accident."

So what is it? Ukrainian partisans? Drone attack? Careless Russian use of explosive material? An industrial accident massive nature.

Lots of questions with no answers. And I sincerely doubt any will be forthcoming.

Optical plant. Nothing to see here folks. Is that a joke?

Bert says: No. A factory that produces lenses for all sorts purposes. For camera, spotting scope, binoculars, eyeglasses. I only post the headline as originally written.
