πŸ”₯πŸ›’οΈ Early this morning, Ukrainian drones targeted a Rosrezerv fuel storage facility in Rybinsk, Yaroslavl Oblast. 700km from the frontline. πŸ“ Fuel depots operated by Rosrezerv play an important role in sustaining long-term military operations by providing reserve stocks that can be drawn upon when regular supply chains come under pressure.

Russian Z-bloggers post footage of Ukrainian drones freely flying over Russian-occupied Crimea, attacking fuel trucks and military targets. They predict that soon this will lead to "panic and total collapse of all main roads."
Ukraine is cutting off Russia's logistics in the direction of Crimea. The only remaining route for delivering gasoline and large cargoes to Crimea is the Kerch Bridge. And we remember how beautifully the trucks burn and explode on that Bridge. πŸ“·: October 8, 2022

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί The Armed Forces of Ukraine carried out a strike on the railway bridge and pontoon crossing in the Chongar district of the temporarily occupied Kherson region. Due to the damage to the bridges, Russian forces began constructing pontoon crossings, which do not have the high capacity and durability similar to permanent bridges. As a result, convoys of trucks are gathering nearby β€” targets that can also be struck β€” and the sinking of the pontoons themselves is possible at any time.

Russian oil production continues to fall as drone sanctions convert oil into heat and smoke. May saw 31 strikes in 31 days on oil facilities, and June has the lowest crude processing rate in 2 decades. The fuel shortages will get worse, and Russians will get angrier with Putin.

St. Petersburg joins the Russian fuel shortage. What happened? Did you bastards start a war and plan to pretend nothing is happening just because you're far from the frontline? It's not going to work.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί F-16 Fighters Reportedly Destroy 4 Russian Helicopters at Low Altitude Near Taganrog Ukrainian F-16 fighter jets reportedly carried out a bold strike on a Russian helicopter base near Taganrog in Russia’s Rostov region. According to reports, the aircraft flew at extremely low altitudes to avoid radar detection before striking helicopters stationed at the airfield. At least four helicopters, including Ka-52 attack helicopters, were reportedly destroyed. The base, which Russia had been using to support operations against Ukrainian positions, caught fire following the attack. Several secondary explosions were also reported at the site. If confirmed, this would mark the first deep manned air operation inside Russian territory conducted with Western-made fighter aircraft.

Take a moment to consider how many important targets are being hit across Russia and the temporarily occupied territories every single day right now. Ukrainian drones are smashing the Russian war machine to pieces, live on social media. And it'll keep getting much, much worse.

Ukrainian #Flamingos (missiles) struck a military plant deep in Russia, in Chuvashiaβ€”despite anti-drone nets! πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ That plant made parts for Shahed, Kalibr, and Iskander attacks on our homes. Now it’s destroyed, paralyzing more of their war machine. We don’t begβ€”our strategy is just: defeat and demilitarize.

- Giorgia Meloni Prime Minister of Italy: "Peace cannot be achieved through Ukraine's defeat or the surrender of its territories. That would be extremely dangerous for peace in Europe and a precedent for the entire world. We will achieve peace only when Russia stops its aggression and withdraws its troops from Ukrainian territory." It should be clear enough ..!πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

Ukraine is systematically reclaiming control over its own occupied territory - and Crimea is feeling it. Ukraine's 3rd Special Operations Regiment has established air control over sections of the Melitopol - Chonhar route - the last remaining land corridor into Crimea. Russian military and logistics infrastructure operating on Ukrainian soil is being methodically degraded. Road networks. Repair equipment. Supply lines. The Chonhar bridge is already damaged. The corridor is under pressure. Russia's ability to maintain and resupply the peninsula is shrinking. Russia wanted Crimea as a fortress. Ukraine is turning it into a strategic liability.

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ Unmanned Systems Forces (SBS), "Azov" Regiment, and SBU have effectively paralyzed the occupied Mariupol port in a high-impact joint operation. ​Strike co-executed by the National Guard's "Azov" 1st Corps, the SBU Security Service, Alpha Special Forces, and the SBS, successfully destroyed critical infrastructure at the Mariupol Commercial Sea Port. ​By targeting electrical substations, radar arrays, repair facilities, the control tower, and fuel depots, the operation crippled the port's operational capacity. The joint forces also struck the sanctioned cargo ship Lady Augusta, a known vessel in Russia’s shadow fleet.

Former CIA Director David Petraeus: Ukraine now has the advantage over Russia on the front line. Russia’s 5-to-1 manpower advantage and its significant superiority in firepower are becoming less important when Ukrainians inflict more than 90% of Russian losses using unmanned systems. Petraeus in an interview with Charlie Rose: β€œThe kill zone” now extends roughly 35 kilometers on both sides β€” the front line is no longer really a line. Trenches and field positions are no longer protected: if you can shoot out from them, a drone can fly in. Last year, Ukraine produced 3.5 million drones and is on track to reach 7 million this year. It is already deploying more than 10,000 drones per day. The future of warfare is being written in Ukraine. Ukraine strikes Russian fuel depots, warehouses, and oil refineries deep inside Russian territory almost every night. At least 40% of these facilities have already been hit or damaged, including a fuel terminal in St. Petersburg during Putin’s economic forum. Crimea could be cut off, with both the Kerch Strait crossing and the northern supply route to the peninsula under threat. Strikes are now targeting logistics far beyond the front line, in areas where Moscow once felt secure. Ukraine is inflicting about 35,000 Russian killed and severely wounded every month β€” slightly fewer than Russia is able to recruit during the same period. Ukraine is now increasingly seizing the initiative on the battlefield. Glory to the Armed Forces of Ukraine! Glory to the Supreme Commander-in-Chief! Glory to the nation! πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦

ZELENSKYY: Ukrainian attacks on St. Petersburg and Moscow region, on military and energy targets, are our response to Russian attacks on our energy sector. This is also our answer: we will not just silently die β€” we will respond, and we will grow stronger each day, day by day.
