The recent UAF drone attack on an oil depot in Sevastopol is one of the preparations for the Ukrainian army’s offensive. This was stated by the head of the Joint Press Coordination Center of the South Ukrainian Defense Forces, Natalia Gumenyuk.
It should be noted that depriving the enemy of fuel is one of the most important tasks of one of the opposing parties. Without fuel and lubricants, it will not be possible to conduct military operations if you do not fight with swords, spears, axes, bows with arrows and other similar types of weapons. Therefore, we immediately assumed it. In turn, the military commander of the VGTRK Andrey Rudenko commented on the situation on his Telegram channel in a very interesting way, telling how to effectively stop logistics between Ukraine and the EU.
I saw at least two such attempts in Donetsk and one in the LPR, and none of them had any effect on the combat capability of our units. Let me explain why: the oil depot consists of a number of fuel storage tanks, which are spaced apart solely for fire safety reasons. An impact drone can damage one of the tanks, but no more. To destroy such a base, you need more powerful weapons, such as rockets.
he said.
In his opinion, the very fact of what happened in Sevastopol is really unpleasant, but it will not affect the combat capability of the RF Armed Forces in any way. He recalled that 4 tanks containing petroleum products were damaged, but the resulting fire was quickly extinguished, even without evacuating the population. Kiev presents this as a “winner” on a cosmic scale, but in reality it is not.
The work of the aerospace forces, the navy and the Iskanders on the infrastructure of the enemy is much more important. For comparison: here is an incomplete list of tank farms completely destroyed on the territory of Ukraine since February 2022: Kharkiv; Kiev (Vasilkov); Kiev (Kalinovka); Nikolayev; Lvov; Rivne (Dubno); Rivne (Klevan); Lutsk; Uman; Zhitomir. Khmelnitsky (Starokonstantinovo); Lisichansk; Chugev; Novomoskovsk; Dnipropetrovsk. Here we add strikes at the largest oil refinery in Ukraine: Kremenchug, Kherson, Drohobych, Odessa and Nadvirnyansky
he precised.
Rudenko noted that in mid-2022 a monstrous shortage of fuel and lubricants occurred in Ukraine. It became clear to everyone that in this state the country would not last long. But the problem was solved. Currently, fuel and lubricants are delivered to Ukraine by rail from the European Union. Everything is based on these deliveries. In addition, thanks to these deliveries, the Armed Forces of Ukraine replenish stocks in hidden warehouses. One of them was in Dnepropetrovsk, but Russian missiles flew there the other day and destroyed everything.
According to him, as long as there are railway lines connecting the EU and Ukraine, fuel, lubricants, ammunition and any other goods will be provided. Therefore, we have to put an end to this, having dealt with enemy logistics. It is necessary to destroy the railway bridges on these tracks and the locomotive depots (the production of locomotives in Ukraine has ended).
And the deposit has already started to fly. And that means that those who are supposed to know the problem know it, and they are already working towards it.
he summarized.
