I assume this was a large amount of ammonium nitrate fertilizer that exploded.

you don't have to assume, orange clouds of nitrogen dioxide are telltale sign. almost nothing else behaves this way e: compare with beirut explosion

The shockwave must have been super powerful with the amount of atmosphere sucked back in after the blast.

How would a drone cause this to explode? Unless it found something which caused the operator to call a strike?

The sweet Russians were going to replant all your crops but you've just destroyed the fertilizer they were going to use

That was enormous

I think they got this one! Hard to tell behind the massive explosion though!

What are the range of these dronea? Even doubling the range on the box because it's a one way it still feel like they gotta be pretty close.

Also what's the song? Lol

Typically 15-20km, or approximately 9-12 miles.

Rammstein - Feuer frei

it looks like it's close because it is close, that position is in Novodonetskiye about 1km away from frontline on russian side, according to deepstatemap. this is FPV drone but it's a less common type, FPV bomber, so it's reusable. not this one obviously

There was supposed to be a kaboom, a big kaboo... Oh, there it is.
