Ukrainian forces struck six russian oil refineries with a combined annual processing capacity of approximately 53.6 million tonnes, alongside a defense-industrial plant
Ukraine struck seven strategic facilities in russia over the past week, including six oil refineries and a plant producing electronic components for weapons, according to Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense. The reported targets were located between 200 and 1,600 kilometers from Ukraine.
The strikes primarily targeted russia’s fuel and energy infrastructure, with the six affected refineries representing a combined annual crude oil processing capacity of approximately 53.6 million tonnes. Several of these facilities also directly support the russian military by supplying fuel for its forces.
Among the targets was the Moscow Oil Refinery, which has an annual processing capacity of 12 million tonnes.
The Perm Oil Refinery, capable of processing 13 million tonnes of oil annually, was also targeted.
Other refineries hit during the week included the Novoshakhtinsk Refinery, with a capacity of 7.5 million tonnes per year, and Bashneft-UNPZ, another deep oil-processing facility with a reported annual capacity of 7.5 million tonnes.
Ukraine also struck the Kuibyshev Refinery, one of Rosneft’s key facilities, which can process around 7 million tonnes of oil annually. The Ilsky Refinery, with an annual capacity of approximately 6.6 million tonnes, was also targeted.
The seventh target was the Iskra plant, which produces electronic components for russian weapons. Its products reportedly include components for guided aircraft missiles and the Pantsir surface-to-air missile and gun system.
When do we start hitting civilian targets to give the vermin a taste of their own medicine. I was never a fan of the carpet bombing of German cities during World War 2 but after seeing the destruction a civilization can inflict on peace loving people, I now understand the reasons by Churchill et al
By the way please don’t tell me that Russian vermin are good people but only following their leaders. In which case I’ll ask you to put that thought where the sun doesn’t shine.
I think you get more “bang for the buck” (bavovna for the hryvnia?) hitting military targets.
And if you run out of those, I think it would be better to hit “dual-use” targets rather than purely civilian targets. E.g., hitting gas stations used by the military as well as by civilians, rather than homes, schools, etc. (Or were you thinking targets like TPP and CHP?)
I’m also not a fan of those carpet bombing campaigns of WWII. But at least we can say the Germans started the war and started the bombing of cities.
To carpet bomb the cockroach cities would be justified, seeing they started this war and want to keep it going, and also commit terrible war crimes.
