So apparently the Russians still smoke inside their factories, what a shame
Thank god they’re so stupid.
Not sure this has been the official “explanation” this time, but looking at it from a technical side, there isn’t normally anything in a transformer flammable enough to be ignited by a cigarette, even if you could drop it directly into the cooling oil (which you can’t: they are normally sealed). My understanding is that you need a sustained arc over several minutes of “normal” electric current, or several lightning strikes to heat up the oil enough to catch fire. That requires some major fault. I guess a suitable type of warhead could cause it eventually, but not immediately.
they are normally sealed
Normally
I wouldn’t be surprised if the issue turns out to be a comedy of errors.
Damaged transformer is never fix. Due to budget issues corruption
Overtime it becomes more damaged until it represents a serious safety issue. See above
Absolutely no equivalent of workplace safety laws. Sea above
All resulting in a massive explosion
