Does anyone else just keep popping by here to see if the Uke's have destroyed anymore refineries since the last time I popped in, like 30 seconds ago?

How much capacity does Ukraine have to escalate this?  Can they get it to 50% as keep it there?  60%?  70%?

I don't know, but the refinery that inexplicably blew up last night, the Yaroslavl Oil Refinery, somebody with numbers said that one refinery was 5% of Russia's refining capacity.  Yaroslavl is located over 240 kilometers (150 miles) northeast of Moscow and 700 kilometers (430 miles) from the border with Ukraine.

From Reuters:

Fire breaks out at refinery in Russia's Yaroslavl region, governor says

A fire broke out at an oil refinery in Russia's Yaroslavl region, regional governor Mikhail Yevrayev said on Wednesday, ruling out enemy attack as the cause.

"Residents were concerned it might have been the result of an enemy drone attack," Yevrayev said on the Telegram messaging app.

"But what happened has nothing to do with that...The fire is of a technological nature."

 ......Russia's third-largest by output in 2022.

The plant's annual capacity stands at 15 million metric tons (300,000 barrels per day).

Maybe they're telling the truth and inability to maintain the plants is coming home to roost?

True,  Zeihan was beating the drum about pressure literally building up in the pipelines when things are going offline and there’s no extra storage, but I would think they would have safeguards, but it is Russia so….

These three posts show the methodical work that Ukraine is doing. They bomb the main pipeline and then follow up destroying pumping stations along the route.  

Like Hermann Goring having to explain why Berlin is being  bombed, Putin should be answering questions why Russia cannot defend its integral gas and oil facilities from Ukrainian attacks. While the loss of oil and gas refining and exporting facilities is a problem for sure, the macro problem is that Russia has no air defense that can stop Ukraine from shutting down the gas station part of Russia being a gas station with nukes.

Silly Ukraine.  Drone strikes just increasing the cost of the reparations they will have to pay Russia.

Nice summary

“Make sure that Moscow’s elites have gas and fuel.  We don’t care about that preventative maintenance stuff right now. What could possibly go wrong?”

 

i’ve been wondering why they didn’t use Flamingos on the refineries - and I guess the answer is as long as drones can do the job - there’s no reason to spend the money and the resource of an ICBM.    On one glorious day in the future you send the new Tomahawks and glide bombs and hundreds of new Flamingos at the military industrial complex factories making whatever they still make, while taking out whatever power plants supply energy to the factories.

It would be awesome if Mrs. Brisket and Sela have been having an affair behind your back for the last 25 years.
