As a result of a UAV attack on an oil depot in Engels, three tanks with a capacity of 120,000 cubic meters each were completely destroyed.
The oil depot in Engels , in the Saratov region of the Russian Federation, is still burning after the night strike on January 8. A record amount of fuel for a military airfield was stored there.
As reported by the ” VChK-OGPU ” project, citing sources, as a result of the UAV attack on the oil depot in Engels, three tanks of 120,000 cubic meters each were completely destroyed. In addition, each of the six tanks received serious damage.
“The storage tank farm that stored fuel for the military airfield, about 800,000 tons of fuel, was put out of action,” the channel notes.
As of now, Russian rescuers have an acute shortage of foaming agents to extinguish oil and fuel fires. Consequently, firefighters are forced to monitor fuel burnout.”

“As of now, Russian rescuers have an acute shortage of foaming agents to extinguish oil and fuel fires. Consequently, firefighters are forced to monitor fuel burnout.”
This means any future attacks could be even more devastating.
Does monitor fuel burnout, mean we can do sweet FA about it?
The only thing for them left to do is spray water on the fires, which won’t help very much.
I think spraying water on an oil fire is a great idea. 😂
No, spraying the surrounding area to prevent it from spreading. There is no way such a huge oil fire can be put out with water alone. It evaporates too fast.
I was being a little sarcastic. 😉 When water is used on an oil fire the water sinks to the bottom, superheats and generates a lot of steam. This sends small droplets of super heated oil into the air.
I know. My additional info was for others. 😉
