Admit your own military factory blew up due to a fuckup/enemy sabotage.
Or lie that it was actually something else to save face, like Russia has done for centuries?

Sure, or it was just a random semi-legal pyrotechnics production as there are probably plenty. I remember after the cold war some garbage cans on satellite images were claimed to be missile silos.

Edit: ha, wish I could find that 00th forum post with a random Google maps image and people arguing about some green squares on it. Nevertheless, this is true and the point is - not everything is a conspiracy theory and most importantly - Russia is much less organized than you might think.

Where are all the shells that seem to be scattered around coming from then?

you can clearly see ~~122mm~~ ~~57mm?~~ ~~76mm?~~ 122mm without fuze adapter? shells in the last two videos

122mm would make the most sense, because there's fuckton 122mm guns in russian storage. or maybe grad warhead, also 122mm. i don't know anymore, scale of this thing is wack
