Federal State Enterprise Perm Powder Plant produces crucial components for the Grad, Topol-M, Bulava, Kornet, Pantsir-S and Tornado systems, which are used in Ukraine.

Frankly, given that you work around a lot of explosives and Ukraine has hit munitions plants recently, I'm not sure that having long shifts and no days off is the worst thing that could be happening.

On the other hand, it increases the chance you're around when the worst thing inevitably happens.

inevitably

So, I have no idea what's going on there, but Russia can theoretically try to keep extremely lean inventory on-site, like, move out a truck-load as soon as it's completed, and isolate what on-site storage exists, minimize impact of the thing going off.

Obviously, that hasn't been successfully done in the past with depots that Ukraine hit, and I'm sure that it adds inefficiencies, but it's at least theoretically possible.
