Curious if Ukraine is getting better at hitting critical areas of refineries such as cracking towers. Replacing lost oil and oil tanks would be costly, but if critical refining infrastructure is hit, that, I imagine, would be far more expensive and difficult to repair or replace especially if much of it is western equipment and technology
Putin has also moved critical air defenses from the refineries to try to defend his palaces in Valdai, Sochi and Moscow.
Good point. Oil can be replaced in hours. Major process equipment can take months to rebuild.
