Someone asked me one time how many followers I had. I honestly didn't know or even how to look. I got on twitter for its original purpose: To allow me to shout my thoughts into a dark void and not at unsuspecting staff, or the delivery guy.

Not sure which of the tank farms is on fire, but the one to the south is very juicy. Probably handles both products and moves crude along toward the ports as well.

. . . and now we have confirmation that it was the strategic fuel reserve in the south of the picture that was hit. Now the question is, how many scaramuccis will it burn? The secondary containment and fixed firefighting capability is nonexistent.
Another rough night for Russia's rapidly vanishing energy sector, as one of the country's key oil and fuel storage facilities burns in Yaroslavl Region.
The "Temp" complex belongs to the state reserve agency and functions as a large storage and distribution center for petroleum products. Fuel held there can be redirected during shortages, emergencies, or military requirements.
Positioned on major rail and Volga transport routes north of Moscow, it plays a key role in keeping fuel moving through central and northwestern Russia.

Love seeing a third Lyutti flying into to the smoke of two very large ground fires already burning to make a third strike x.com/bayraktar_1love/statusโฆ

Really well placed Pantsir, you ๐ท๐บ dipshits. You could not have placed that worse for actually acquiring and shooting down a drone (that toodles past without a care in the world) if you tried

Day 1571 and still no sign of an end to the war.
Putin has already set his country back at least a generation in terms of money, male deaths and the economy, but he's intent on total ruination rather than admit defeat. The Hitler scenario could await Putin.
Here is THE daily๐งต

๐ Satellite image of the Afipsky refinery, which was hit on the night of June 11.
Two key units - AT-22/4 (atmospheric distillation of oil) and SPGC (stabilization and processing of gas condensate), which were likely hit again.

Perfect example of a ๐ท๐บ weapon system being killed by the very type of threat it was fielded to defend against. Probably a Pantsir, unless I miss my guess. remember, this is the system ๐ท๐บ chooses to still fund when proven better alternatives are NOT pulled out of store (ZSU23)

Near temporarily-occupied Melitopol, a mobile air defence unit of the russian fascist invaders appears either to have blown themselves up or to have been struck by a Ukrainian drone.

The US can just congratulate Russia on continuing to slaughter Ukrainian civilians with advanced military weaponry every day.

Decent sized (8.7 MM ton/yr, 13th largest) and last struck in Jan 2025. Possibly of most importance is that it has a petrochemical plant that makes precursor polymer for the Yelabuga drone factory across the river.

During the night, an oil refinery complex (TANECO JSC) in Nizhnekamsk, Republic of Tatarstan, Russia, was successfully struck.

But biggest hurdles to reaching an agreement appears to be pushback from the president's own supporters in Congress, and the inability for him to keep his mouth shut.

๐ฅ Someone in Russia lit a cigarette in a place where it wasn't supposed to. A factory producing optics for the military is on fire in Novosibirsk
A fire broke out on the territory of the former "Ekran" factory, where the "Ekran-Optical Systems" enterprise now operates. Thick black smoke rose over the city, and according to reports, the fire covered about 2,800 square meters.
The company produces components for night vision devices, laser rangefinders, and other optoelectronic equipment for defense purposes.

Ukraine is preparing to isolate Crimea in the near future, - "Madyar"
The commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces Robert Brovdi told Reuters that the Ukrainian strike campaign has already seriously disrupted Russian logistics in the south.
Over the past month, traffic on the Rostov - #Mariupol - Melitopol - Crimea route has decreased by more than two-thirds. It is precisely because of supply problems that the occupation authorities of Crimea have already introduced strict restrictions on fuel sales.
Madyar believes that within the next month, Ukraine will be able to fully control this route with drones. According to him, the goal is to make the stay of Russian military and defense industry workers in Crimea as difficult as possible.
In fact, Ukraine is not targeting the showcase of the occupation, but its arteries - fuel, supplies, and roads, without which #Crimea becomes an expensive and inconvenient island for Russia.
