So the Russians are ready to got to war. It looks like they have their own infrastructure or training problems like the Germans. Or maybe it is sabotage.
My bet is sabotage, munitions storage is a pretty benign business.
Reminder: last years were lots of accidents in the US navy and airforce. .it's more likely that continuous deployment, lack of training and oversight are at play
And/or the cool new age of cyber warfare and we just are not told that this is it. The new cold but apparently not so cold "cold war" ;) o_O
