๐ท๐บ Russia Expands Explosives Production to Boost Artillery Power
Russia is ramping up the production of high-power explosives for artillery shells at the Biysk Oleum Plant in Siberia, according to a Reuters report.
The plantโs expansion began in 2023 and is expected to be completed by 2025. Once operational at full capacity, the facility will be able to produce up to 6,000 tons annually of RDX (hexogen) or HMX (octogen)โboth powerful military-grade explosives.
This significant increase in output is projected to substantially enhance the firepower of Russian forces on the front lines.
Reuters estimates that this volume of explosives would be sufficient to arm approximately 1.28 million OF-29 152mm artillery shells, a common type used by the Russian military.

๐บ๐ธ JUST IN: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the Pentagon to begin removing transgender service members starting June 6, per a memo obtained by Reuters.
Troops who do not voluntarily leave will face involuntary separation. Reservists have until July 7.
This follows months of legal wrangling and marks the first mass expulsion order based on gender identity since the Trump-era ban.
