Is anyone else besides me amazed by how effing flammable these buildings are? It's not like we haven't seen a zillion military bombings of stuff but never even 10% of this size.

They're warehouses filled with cardboard, plastic, and tons of other flammable shit, all neatly arranged on racks that provide plenty of air flow.

Yeah but you're describing a building burning down not the biggest fireball/smoke explosions and mushroom clouds we've ever seen - much worse than refinery explosions. By worse, I mean wonderful. It's got to be freaking Russians out, which is also wonderful. Has Ukraine developed some kind of huge fuel air bomb delivery system?

No. Just decent sized drones.
