Eight “Daggers” flew into a gas storage facility in western Ukraine

April 11 2024 28

During today's missile attack on Kyiv regime targets, an underground gas storage facility in the Lviv city of Stryi was attacked. According to Ukrainian sources, the Russian military fired eight Kinzhal hypersonic missiles and four Kh-101 missiles at this facility. They all hit the mark.

Actually, this data alone is enough to imagine the scale of damage to one of the largest underground gas storage facilities in Ukraine. Nevertheless, there is no need to talk about its complete destruction. If this had happened, half of Eastern Europe would be on edge right now.

The nominal capacity of this underground gas storage facility is 17 billion cubic meters. In all likelihood, the Russian military did not have the goal of completely destroying this facility. This is not so easy to do, even using hypersonic Daggers.

Most likely, the goal was to cause the most serious damage to the infrastructure with which gas is pumped into and removed from underground gas storage facilities. For this purpose, Russian missiles, apparently, did an excellent job.

And if so, we should think about the consequences of this blow not only for Kyiv, but also for Europe. According to experts, the failure of the underground gas storage facility in Stryi will seriously affect the prospects for storing European gas in Ukraine. Consequently, this blow can well be called strategic.

Not every nuclear weapon can destroy a UGS storage facility - it depends on the depth of its location. And restoring the extraction/injection points is, excuse me, not a Newton binomial.

  How many withdrawal/injection points do you usually restore before lunch?

    I? None. Is this what you wanted to hear? But for a specialized organization this is not an insoluble problem. And I suspect you don’t want to hear this.

        You can treat Ukrainians differently, but Ukrtransgaz has sufficient competencies. I express my opinion, but I don’t impose it. You want to think that that’s it, kirdyk, crests will never be able to use underground gas storage facilities again - well, consider it...

  And you, as a gas dealer, will you put your own and, most importantly, other people’s money at risk in order to pump gas into the underground gas storage facility through which it periodically arrives? After all, there is practically no Ukrainian gas there. Will you use your own money to finance repair work in order to take back your own gas? And if during repairs workers are flown in and they lie in piles in the form of corpses, you will gather highly qualified workers around the world and offer work on the restoration of underground gas storage facilities with a mortal risk for them. Well, if yes, then you need to write something in the style of combat science fiction. But you won’t be a dealer and no one will give you money. And it’s as simple as not learning lessons. Especially when you are not sitting under bombs yourself.

    Where did you read that I am talking about immediate restoration “under fire”? Point your finger. In my opinion, I am talking about the POSSIBILITY of restoring the damaged UGS infrastructure. Which is not an unsolvable super task. And that to make it impossible to restore an underground gas storage facility, nuclear weapons are needed. All. No more.

      So then the USA will build a railway on the Moon. It's just a matter of time. UGS facilities are needed here and now, and not in a hypothetical 30-40 years. But Europe needs it here and now. Otherwise, you will have to work from the wheels of gas carriers, but what if there is a storm, and what if the price situation is different?

        So the terms in one case and in the other case will apparently be equal. Unless the road will still be built faster. According to you, the Dnieper Hydroelectric Station can be restored theoretically. It’s a pity there are no turbines and specialists. And yes, it’s possible.

        Do you think SVO is for 40 years? I doubt. Much earlier, the UGS infrastructure will be restored - either by Russia or by the crests with the help of the West. Personal opinion)
        It’s just that the revolution didn’t have an end. In the song) and the SVO will have it.

        So the point is precisely that the underground gas storage facility will be needed this winter. And the second question: when will Europe be able to receive European gas from this underground gas storage facility? And in the market prices change every day. If you didn’t have time to sell today, tomorrow you trade at a loss. How can you sell it if they hit it with daggers? Who will compensate for losses? The West will not tolerate the USSR. And if trust in Ukraine as a custodian of gas is undermined, then who will go to it? And the question is: at whose expense will the restoration be carried out? If it’s all ours, then it’s understandable. And if the SVO goes on like this for at least a year, then who will? Ours played a very big trick on Europe and they did the right thing. Let them switch to coal. Coal also burns. And then, Ukraine is paid, among other things, for exporting electricity, storing gas, and being a gas transit country. And now what will they pay her for? Only for the war with dreams?

        I seriously doubt it about switching to coal. American and Qatari LNG. There is no need to believe that Europe will freeze. It didn't work out, unfortunately. There is a flow of gas - a pipeline to the East, LNG - to Europe. This is the global redistribution of the market. Who benefits from it and who started it...time will tell. LNG has shown its viability. How many 15 years ago there was talk that the commercial use of LNG would never be as profitable as the pipe. However, today both Gazprom and Novatek are investing huge amounts of money and building huge LNG capacities. It is unlikely that they are simply throwing money away. They just didn’t appreciate the prospect at the time. We made a mistake. Now let's catch up. As with shale, we are now implementing hydraulic fracturing very successfully in our country, but how they criticized and laughed at it in their time... Technology does not stand still. And it is the West that is still the technological leader in most industries. Still, you have to look the truth in the eye at least sometimes.

        Why should they freeze? There's enough gas for the people. The industry is worse, but something will remain. But they will switch to coal. After all, gas was not only a coolant, but also a source of raw materials. LNG is not a source of raw materials; it is pure gas - just burn it. But coal is a source of raw materials, and not just a coolant.

        If you mean thermocoke and coal gasification, then yes, I agree. But this has nothing to do with “black” cities.

        Of course)) Radio communications are also used in hypersound when positioning the seeker, without it the conventional zircons are nowhere, and we are now leaders in hypersound, and in space, where we also seem to be not the last in various types of radars, both navigation and those that are used, to for example in the S-400. So I would say - your sarcasm is inappropriate. This is the first thing. And secondly, the Russian Federation is a leader, for example in nuclear energy, one of the leaders in space, and even LDPs, used in gas pipelines that have set the teeth on edge, capable of not bursting in the cold at minus 50, with the pressure that exists, are produced only by the Russian Federation and also a couple of countries. And the USA, for example, is not included in this list)) And it is simply impossible to be a leader in these industries without being, at the same time, a technologically developed power. And thirdly, what does the technological primacy of the West mean? It is based on the Bretton Woods financial system, which we entered with the light hand of the EBN in 1990. They print their candy wrappers in any quantity to ensure the entire world GDP, accordingly they offer salaries to the same scientists many times more than in the conventional Russian Federation, China, the same Sweden. Well, why don’t you pay high salaries, why don’t you save extra lard for a typewriter? In the same Russian Federation, emissions depend on how many dollars you earned on the foreign market. And the Central Bank, in this interesting process, seems to be watching)) That is, the Russian Federation, unlike the happy owner of the reserve currency, dollars must be earned, injected rubles into its economy, based on the exchange rate, and only after that pay the scientists. America's own scientific school...how can I say so as not to offend...is not up to par. These are not my words, but those of an American scientist of Japanese origin, Michio Kaku, who directly says that all science in the states rests on emigrants. That is, the high technologies of the West are both the fruit and contribution, including, of scientists who were educated and became scientists in the Russian Federation. To your list I’ll add Sikorsky, who became a scientist in Russia and created the helicopter industry in the USA, and Penkovsky, after whom the Pentium is named. And how many other unknown people have worked and are working in the same Silicon Valley?

  The Rehden UGS facility is located in northern Germany in the federal state of Lower Saxony;
  the largest in the country and in Western Europe as a whole.
  active capacity is about 4,4 billion m3 or about 20% of all underground gas storage capacity in Germany.
  The passport capacity of this Ukrainian underground gas storage facility that was hit is 17 billion cubic meters. So consider it.

    You don’t give me the container, but the actual content. Is there anything there besides Ukrainian feces? with the help of an underground nuclear explosion, the entire farm can be turned into one continuous storage facility in light of the economic crisis and the closure of production in Europe, they do not need such a moneybox. crests sit with their... on a big bottle and are proud of it...

I think Russia is starting to put pressure, there was already a blow earlier as a warning, but apparently it didn’t reach anyone in Europe, well, here’s more for you. If this time it doesn’t work out, then the ability to use this storage will be completely nullified.

Have we stopped supplying gas to Europe through Ukraine? Or maybe we are launching rockets using our own gas? I wouldn’t be surprised that we can even come up with something like this
