Seventh refinery in a week: Ukraine returned to attacks on an oil refinery and hit an electronics factory in the Urals On the night of November 7, Ukrainian forces attacked targets in the Saratov, Oryol and Rostov regions. According to Ukrainian monitoring channels, Rosneft Saratov refinery with a capacity of 7 million tons of oil per year was attacked. In September, the factory was already attacked and production was frozen, and this year it produces about 1.2 million tons of gasoline and 1.9 million tons of diesel. Several fires broke out towards the project, a cloud of smoke rose above it, Astra also writes about the fire, after analyzing photos and videos. Governor Roman Bosargin confirmed the drone attack and said there was "damage to civilian infrastructure". At the same time, the Oryol Proton factory, which produces electronic components for the Pantsir-S1 air defense system, tanks, Iskander-M missiles and nuclear systems, was attacked. The series counts. Since October 30, when Ukraine renewed attacks on the Russian oil industry, this is at least the seventh refinery to be attacked. In the past, the targets were Rosneft's Novoviyshevsky refinery, the Shenneft refinery in Ufa, Lukoil-Nizhny Novgorod Naphtorgsyntez, Slavneft-Yanus in the Yaroslavl region, the Ryazan plant and the Epifsky oil refinery in the Kuban. The pace indicates: the two-week break we wrote about is over, and the intervals between the attacks have reduced to days. The pressure mechanism is clear and has been described by us more than once. Each blow temporarily disables refining capacity, and in a market where about half of the initial capacity was already idle in September, this increases the shortage of gasoline and diesel, pushing up prices and forcing the authorities to limit exports and allow fuel from lower environmental classes. The Saratov plant, which did not have time to fully recover after September, was hit again, which shows how fragile the repair cycle is. The attack on Proton adds a second dimension: we are talking about the component base for weapons, where replacing imported electronics is already difficult.
