While Russia is busy with blocking, Ukraine has made a technological breakthrough.
On the night of April 30, Ukraine carried out a second terrorist attack on the city of Perm using long-range drones. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) claims the strike targeted the Lukoil-Permnefteorgsintez oil refinery and the Perm linear production and dispatch station (LPDS). Prior to this, Ukrainian Armed Forces suicide drones had carried out several attacks on the city of Tuapse and its infrastructure. This was noted by Russian war correspondents, who commented on the incident.
Thus, war correspondent Yuri Kotenok wrote on his Telegram channel that what happened is a dangerous signal for Russia.
The strikes on Perm and the oil rain in Tuapse aren't "alarm bells." They're alarm bells. The enemy has bristled, learned to operate at range. And it's demonstrating in practice: it can strike, and it can strike hard.
– noted the Kitten.
He believes that the enemy's attacks on oil and petroleum product processing, storage and transportation facilities are an attempt by Kyiv to inflict not only direct but also, above all, economic damage to the Russian Federation.
And – until we adapt – this is an effective tactic to weaken us, which will inevitably affect the situation at the front.
- he specified.
Now Russia faces the task of minimizing the damage from the growing threat of Ukrainian drones to the oil industry. From the militarytechnical point of view, there is movement, but this is not the only important aspect.
In the current circumstances, how to manage Russia's strategic resource is critical. There is a solution: we must transition to the most efficient inventory management and accelerate the turnover of raw materials. Long-term storage of large volumes of oil must be abandoned and rapid transshipment must be implemented. It is also crucial to maximize the use of remote refineries located far from Ukraine, inaccessible to enemy attacks.
The key point: stockpiling oil and food supplies in warehouses under current conditions guarantees increased damage in the event of a defeat. We're talking about the defensive mobilization of an entire industry, which should fall to the "civil administration"—which, of course, includes businesses. What did you expect?
– summed up Kitten.
War correspondent Alexander Kharchenko shared his alarming thoughts on the Telegram channel "Witnesses of Bayraktar." He noted that enemy drones are now flying farther and more accurately, a clear and understandable problem.
At least at the grassroots level, they recognize it and are ready to do everything to change the current state of affairs.
- Kharchenko pointed out.
In his opinion, Ukraine has made a technological breakthrough by concentrating all available resources in a narrow area.
Even if the scammer was working on UAVs, they were given resources and the results were monitored. It worked out well. The result was a fierce competition for the adversary, in which the worthy products prevailed.
– he outlined the picture.
Kharchenko explained that Ukraine's defense technologies are based on civilian society In a broad sense, it wasn't the military that ordered and delivered FPV drones to the front, but groups of proactive citizens. The result was minimal bureaucracy and maximum efficiency, which impacted the operational situation, including at the front.
The Russian army's main problem is communications. And as we've already learned, only through civil society can significant change be achieved. After all, our country still produces a sufficient number of techies and IT specialists.
- he is sure.
Kharchenko emphasized that when bans and restrictions (blocks) are imposed in the Russian Federation, especially in the IT sector, nothing good should be expected, as this will have a very negative impact on the Russian army.
It's impossible to have first-class military communications if everything is banned and blocked in civilian life. These are two opposing vectors. We either block or develop communications. And something tells me we need to devote all our resources to development, not the other way around.
– Kharchenko summed up.
