Logistics chains are already under strain outside of this conflict, production and research plants with moving parts machinery eat through supplies. If your a large computer firm you go through hard disks and other kit like crazy to supply yourself or customers. Russia's not getting high end kit, a lot of which is still manufactured by the embargoing nations, for the most part so it's not stuff that can be bodged for long.

Shortage of manpower in some places might exacerbate problems, eg in Siberian wildfires where many firefighters have gone to the front. That sort of issue is probably affecting maintenance too.

I could envisage a situation where a system was getting flakey, and dependent on employees giving a shit and manually sorting it out, then they maybe start giving a bit less of a shit and things start going wrong, and they get more apathetic, and more goes wrong, and...BOOM.

That one was Ukrainian artillery, so not very contentious. At least half a dozen military tanker lorries destroyed in the strike too, which is useful.
It’s the fires in the middle of Russia which are more interesting, but some are likely just routine factory fires in a country without a stellar safety record for such things.

I find it hard to conclude much without more information. Like how often similar facilities were catching fire a year ago.
Even then, some kinds of facilities may have increased output etc.

This is better footage of an army recruitment office conflagration. Don't think this one is Ukrainian artillery.

On a similar note, some people have been speculating that there has been an increase in fires at US food processing plants and farms in the last year and various conspiracy theories about them being deliberate to cause food shortages.

I'm not saying they had anything to do with Russia, just that industrial fires are quite common in any country and it's not just Russia where some have theories about them being deliberate.
