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

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.

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.
