Interesting to see someone with the viewpoint that Russians are incapable of lying. Does not seem that sophisticated a worldview. Can't imagine any informative analysis comes out of it, but I'm certain some people never wonder if they might be missing something.
We’ll probably never know if there was more to it.
There’s tons of conspiracies out there regarding micro nukes. I remember an incident in Bali. Some claim there’s nuclear chain reaction explosive devices that do not emit detectable radiation.
And then there’s the tesla wave demolishing device, mini black hole-type weapons, etc.
But I believe this was a standard missile attack based on those images in the report crazy rus cited.
If anyone cares to argue that detonation is remotely similar to what went off in Toropets, there's no helping them (you may know who I'm talking about). Nor is the ammunition itself exploding, since munitions fires cook them off one by one.
In fact, the blast (and/or other non-conventional effects) is so powerful that it sets off other areas of the depot, where you can see the serial detonations of munitions in the typical fashion of burning ammo.
It wasn't micro, either. I'd eyeball it to be at least 10kT. It's beyond ignorant for anyone to think the Russian leadership doesn't see what I see--and far more--and they've clamped a lid down tight before it all gets beyond anyone's control.
Had to look it up, it was like 20 years ago. joe Vialls…
“He also disputed the official explanation for the bombings of the Australian embassy and Marriott Hotel in Jakarta, Indonesia's capital. Vialls asserted that the explosives that authorities claimed were used in the Indonesian bombings were not powerful enough to have caused the damage and casualties that resulted. He claimed to demonstrate from photographs of the aftermath of each of the bombings, compared to the photographs taken in Northern Ireland where a 1,000 pound IRA bomb did not leave a crater or strip concrete from buildings, that a "micronuke" from Mossad's Dimona research and development facility in the Negev desert had been used. Vialls claims a device similar to the smallest United States nuclear weapon known as the Davy Crockett or M-388 round, a version of the W54 warhead, a very small sub-kiloton fission device, was used in the attacks. The Mk-54 weighed about 51 lb (23 kg), with a selectable yield of 10 or 20 tons, which Vialls claimed was consistent with the damage inflicted in Bali and elsewhere. A complete Mk-54 round weighed 76 lb (34.5 kg). One criticism of Vialls' theory was the absence of any radiation in Bali after the explosion. Vialls explained this flaw by arguing that Geiger counters cannot effectively detect alpha radiation, the most likely radiation to be present after the detonation of a plutonium fission bomb, since alpha particles are large and do not penetrate the walls of the Geiger-Muller tubes adequately enough to register radiation.[11] In his investigation of the first Bali bomb, Vialls cited an opinion article in the Jakarta Post, Indonesia's largest English-language newspaper by circulation, written by an expatriate editor at the Post, which expounded a similar theory.”
I am sure they lie often but why would they lie about this? It would be in Russia´s interest to pretend that NATO or NATO weapons did this instead of a flimsy drone.
Russia themselves claimed it was a drone.
Why would they lie?

You can compare the blast to the "wunder waffe" ATACMS missile that Russia has repeatedly warned about (ff to about 3:40 for the impact):

Who claims these things?

So, why would they lie about this?

Why wouldn't they?
That wasn´t the question.
