This is not the first tank farm to be set on fire.

On the previous tank farms, the only tanks that burned were the ones hit by a drone.

There is something different about this tank farm.

Tanks too close together?

Underground pipes too shallow?

Substandard material?

All the above?

“There is something different about this tank farm.” (Proletarsk)

The Rostov Governor said that firefighting efforts had to be suspended at times, due to additional UAV attacks.

22 of the 74 tanks were burning or burnt when last I saw a report. They held oil, gasoline and jet fuel; according to another report. A wall Street Journal reporter estimated about $200 million worth of product, at domestic Russian prices.

Other reports indicated that this facility held Strategic value in supplying Russian Military forces in theater.
