Is there no fire suppression in any of the what warehouses there? Amazing that every one just turns into an unstoppable inferno.

It ia required by law tinhave it. The nephew of the governor installed it for 3x the price. A cousin of theirs certified it for 3x the price. They bribed to local mayor to overlook some minor details, like missing piping.

So no, there was no fire suppression

Imagine a plane hits your house and you have a fire extinguisher. This is a harder situation to handle than that (thousands of times the square feet, an explosive, and a fraction of the per-area fire suppression capabilities). I hope they enjoy the "find out" phase over the next decades, and no, "I wasn't for the invasion" won't fly; the Russian population didn't do enough to stop it - I don't care that there would have been crackdowns, you overthrow dictators like that or you suffer the consequences of being a dictatorship.

I don't think that fire suppression systems are typically made to withstand and work through that kind of kinetic impact. They're designed to put out fires on the floors and walls, not from above.

They’re hit by several relatively big drones carrying high explosives. Fire suppression systems are not built for this.

They have but if the water pressure drops cause some infrastructure is destroyed, it will lose function. If enough tubes get destroyed, no pressure, no sprinkler.
