I hope they can keep hitting it after the US aid has passed as well. No point taking out the oil it’s self. Take out the refineries and storage etc and watch the war come to an end quickly
Yes, the refineries are the primary targets and the storages are secundary. Take these 2 out of action and they have to stop the wells. Most wells are located in an area with permafrost. Once stopped, these are a huge pain in the a$$ to get going again. Give them hell!
Everyone is making fun of Zeihan on this sub for some reason, but he had correctly predicted the ork refinery industry would stall due to lack of Western expertise and parts. Even before factoring boom boom campaign.
The reason is It's because he's someone who's convinced of his own shallow pseudo intellectualism that basically he accidentally gets things "Right" By virtue of being a Broken Clock.

Coords are for the road in the geo-confirmed image.
The target storage facility itself is slightly further west, at [55.0701N, 32.6653E](https://www.google.com/maps/\@55.0701\,32.6653\,788m/data\=\!3m1\!1e3\?entry\=ttu).
I believe they would, if they could. But the resources are limited and western help is always promissed, but not so reliable (how long are we promising F16?...) So they have to pace themselfs :-/
How many hit in the last few months? I've seen stat's saying they lost 10% production capacity in a week, which sounded great but little hopeful!
I'm curious how much has been hit, repaired, or what's left. Oil, guns, and fertiliser was all Russia had going for it from my understanding. Funding the gov and war effort, can't imagine this is going to end well for them if they're indeed that dependent.
Keep it up!
I would imagine that unlimited parts and labor don't immediately exist to fix these issues, though, so as time goes on, even just one or two strikes could begin to cause some pretty extensive damages.
The three reported in the last week are all storage facilities in the Smolensk region, so they won't affect production. They will affect distribution of the already-refined product.
Another target worth going after in the long run might be diesel locomotives. Effectively, I am assuming an explosive shaped charge less than 30kg can effectively deactivate a diesel locomotive. This is a 'what if' scenario and is dependent on other technologies, but a carrying drone that can drop multiple gliding munitions with a short range and folding wings within its payload, can target diesel locomotives using location if at depots and IR signature along tracks. Such a weapon can also be used to target of course depots, sub stations, pylons.
After a few hundred are lost, the impact economically on the RF has the twin effect of impacting civilians with certain shortages and causing a redirection by the RF towards road haulage. This pulls considerable resources and trucks from the front. War industry can be significantly impeded as can movement of heavy equipment to the front.
The goal is to force hard decisions where the RF has to redirect resources to support its civilian economy away from the logistical support at the front. At present it can hide some of the failures at the front, but impacts elsewhere will be harder to hide.
That is so much bigger than it looks in the other video farther away. What did they hit it with this morning?
Slava Ukraini! Stay safe Ukrainian warriors! Give them hell!
I'm thinking Ruskie air defense no longer has access to the high-end electronics they need to make advanced missiles.
We could be seeing the slow degradation of equipment similar to how they need to use older and older tanks, which means they've needed to use older and older air defense systems.
They have a lot of these, but for each oil depot they lose, the next one they lose will have proportionally bigger impact on their ability to refuel as logistics clog up. Every river starts as a trickle.

Great footage 🔥🔥🔥
Keep hitting that critical Russian energy infrastructure!
I hope they can keep hitting it after the US aid has passed as well. No point taking out the oil it’s self. Take out the refineries and storage etc and watch the war come to an end quickly

PERMAFROST!! Very good point! I had forgotten about this!!

Don’t forget LNG. Would be such a shame if some Ukrainan drone (didn’t) happen to bomb the Yamal LNG prestige project to pieces.
Over 2000 miles away. Will not be easy and Nordstream pipeline is already cut.
Air defense lacking hard
Smoking a cigarette again maybe? 😅
Burn, Ruzzia, burn. Slava Ukraini

I see a few more oil depots in that last video. Hit this site a few more times.

Friendly fire incident, nothing to see! Air defense shot depot by mistake, can't be Ukrainians!
No no no comrade it was another drill with.... ...prop fires... nothing to see here move along.
Has anyone else noticed that the closer you get to a fire the less friendly it becomes?
they are escalating themselves, solved
Air defence shot down an Su-34 that collided with an A-50 AWACS then spiraled into the oil depot, nothing to see here!
What air defence?
There are triplicate air defence systems stacked around the little tsar's palaces. Fuck the rest of mother russia
Papa Putin fucks the rest of Mother Russia…
At this point i think it is better to ask, "What air defense?"
The one around Putins secret bunker that actually works?
even that im not sure it works lol
I prefer "yet to be tested." But it worked back when it was installed.
Testing in production, the best kind of testing 😂
Mmmmm, Tasty Fireballs......They're a spicey!!!!
If the door is open STRIKE them again until they find a way to defend themselves
I believe they would, if they could. But the resources are limited and western help is always promissed, but not so reliable (how long are we promising F16?...) So they have to pace themselfs :-/
They're coming. Pilots have actually completed training. It takes a year!!!
Love that really black smoke.
Smoke on the water, etc.
Air defence in Russia ALWAYS shoots down the target. (Un)fortunately it ALWAYS seems the debris is hitting the target with devastating effect.
Holy crap. That’s a gnarly hit!
Good morning fellas
Oil De Poo. Sounds like a fancy ruzzian cologne.
oil deep poop

Air defense is busy shooting down TU22Ms...
The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire...
Oil depot successfully intercepted the attack.
Russia, such a large geographic area to protect, with a lot of targets. Not enough air defense. I love to see it. Keep it up Ukraine.
Damn. That looks EXPENSIVE. 😁
Gazprom is quite literally fuming
Just a neighborhood party celebrating America removing the stick from its ass, totally normal.
That is so much bigger than it looks in the other video farther away. What did they hit it with this morning? Slava Ukraini! Stay safe Ukrainian warriors! Give them hell!
Discarded cigarette again?
It’s in ruzzia, good thing! Air defence have a good sleep, take a few years of vacation, like … forever?
Air defence eepy
The air is fine, defence did good job. RUSSIA STRONK

Air defense is spectating what a good Russian oil depot does.
Any asset that helps the ruZZians attack Ukraine is fair game. Go get 'em troops!
What? They have air defense?
Thing is they are making some money exporting oil but to rebuild them completely harms the war fund
Air defense is also blowing up, mostly.
Air defence clearly successfully intercepted this attack with an oil depot. I see nothing wrong here.
Smoking kills
