Completely reliable source" published very high quality photographs of damage to the Volgograd refinery. Attached are 3 examples and a general plan, enter the link for more.
The data of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were confirmed: 4 "primary" targets were hit. In addition to them, hydraulic treatment and coking facilities, oil and polymer production complexes were damaged. 6 barrels were also destroyed and solar panels were damaged.
Not in all cases the damage is critical; When the main facilities are destroyed, technical pipes are damaged in some places, which I believe are repaired relatively quickly. However, it is confirmed that any attack on the refinery now causes many times more damage, which is spread throughout the complex. I, of course, want to see an analysis of the consequences from a person like Vakulenko, how serious it is.
At the same time I learned that somewhere in the z-section an "anti-crisis" was launched, supposedly tires were set on fire in refineries during attacks in order to simulate damage and "deceive" the armed forces of Ukraine. As we can see, this is not true, and even if it were true, the effectiveness of such a method would be about equal to the effectiveness of trying to protect aircraft with tires and drawing contours on the ground. This is not the 1940s.
