Also Russia Has Taken Steps To Protect Its Oil Refineries. Ukraine Is Still Hitting Them.
Fitting oil silos and refineries with nets and slat screens is not defending from Ukraine's existing drones and cruise missiles, let along the newer ones.
More to the point, Russia can't protect all the important areas in all of its refineries. That is why at any given moment for the past month 20% of Russia's refinery capacity is down. Russia is shipping unrefined crude oil to refineries outside of Russia, reducing oil revenue even further. This is making the gas lines, inflation, and banking crisis in Russia worse day by day. When it comes down to Putin's domestic policy of "guns or butter", Ukraine's targeting refineries is making the decision of "neither".
As for Ukraine's newer drones, the FP-5 Flamingo cruise missile's launch weight is reportedly over six tons, flies above Mach 1, and has a 2,540 pound warhead. There is no way to protect any commercial facility from a weapon impacting like that.
LMAO
I have said from the start of the war, this is what Ukraine needed to do.
And the paid Russian trolls here who KNEW I was right, kept cat calling me, telling me the pros know what they are doing or whatever.
I am glad Ukraine is finally doing what I said they should do from the start to end this needless war.
