Warships, the 30N6E2 guidance radar of the S-300 PMU-2 “Favorit” complex, etc. were hit.

Drones from the Alpha Special Operations Center of the SBU, together with other components of the Defense Forces, staged a bright “cotton” on the military and oil facilities of the Novorossiysk port, which are involved in the war against Ukraine. UNIAN was informed about this by sources in the special service.

According to preliminary data, SBU drones hit:

  • warships; 
  • 30N6E2 guidance radar of the S-300 PMU-2 “Favorite” complex;
  • ZRGK “Pantsir-S2”;
  • six of the seven oil tankers at the Sheskharis oil terminal. 

According to the source, a large-scale fire has been burning in the port since last night. This terminal is one of the largest oil and petroleum product transshipment complexes in the south of the Russian Federation. It supplies fuel to Russian groups fighting in Ukraine.

“The SBU continues systematic work to weaken the enemy’s military, financial, and logistical potential. Each such special operation directly affects the Russians’ ability to wage war and receive petrodollar revenues to the budget. The spring “cotton” season has begun,” an informed source in the SBU reported.

  1. “six of the seven oil tankers at the Sheskharis oil terminal”

    That sounds great, but the following article says that “six of its seven loading facilities” were hit, and that “There were no tankers loading at the ​Sheskharis oil terminal during the attack,” and “The loadings were suspended in advance and the vessels returned ​to sea amid a drone attack alert.”
