Ukraine struck Russia’s oil refinery in Tyumen, which is on the eastern side of the Urals about 2,000 km away.
2/ The diesel deep cleaning unit and tank farm were hit. Even if primary distillation continues, damaging the hydrotreating unit limits the plant’s ability to produce commercial low-sulfur diesel.
Here’s another reason to blow the 💩 out of every Wildberries in Russia.
A Ukrainian drone attacked the Wildberries in Yekaterinburg, which is about 1,700 km away, but fell just short of the building.
Another Russian armored assault ended in disaster with the loss of seven more tanks near the villages of Novoekonomichne and Vozdvyzhenka, which are a few kilometers northeast of Pokrovsk.
The assault lasted about four hours. Russian forces used Gerbera and Lancet UAVs for air cover and deployed a Tornado-S MLRS for fire support. Ukrainian forces blocked mechanized columns with mines, artillery, UAVs, and aviation strikes.
Russian forces attempted to restore damaged bridge crossings with pontoon equipment during the assault, but these were destroyed by Ukrainian tactical aviation. Ukrainian units including Azov, SBU special forces, unmanned systems units, Air Force, border guards, and Armed Forces units participated.
Ukraine reported destroying 7 tanks, 6 armored vehicles, 1 BM-21 Grad MLRS, 1 Tornado-S MLRS, 3 special vehicles, and 47 light vehicles. Ukrainian forces also reported 123 Russian troops killed and 29 wounded, with the mechanized assault successfully repelled.
This is interesting — a fire broke out at a plant in Minsk, the capital of Belarus, that makes components for the Russian military. Coincidence?
Speaking of Belarus.
Moscow was also going through some things.
Ukraine also struck two weapons-carrying ships and a Russian naval vessel in the Caspian Sea.
Belgorod continues to come under steady assault.
You can’t see me. I’m invisible.
A shiny new Russian 300 mm rocket launcher is trashed.
The organizer of the arms expo in Kyiv has been arrested. Russia attacked the event, which had been advertised online, killing 10.
Another 1,450 Russians off the board. Plus another seven tanks and 571 trucks/other vehicles.
Russian losses have been mounting lately.
Russia is sending more infiltration teams to fake progress, plant flags and grab footage on one-way missions. Putin still hasn’t announced mobilization, likely because of September elections, but the signs of hidden recruitment are obvious.
Russian Shaheds have been spreading these nasty time-delayed bombs.
I want one of these bad boys for Christmas. I’m thinking this will deter the squirrels that have been raiding my bird feeders.
Russia is building huge cages to try to protect its oil infrastructure.
Here they are trying to test anti-drone netting.
The refinery at Tyumen had netting. It didn’t help.
It would have been even better if the message had read, ”All Your Base R Belong to Us.”
Maybe he’s trying to fix the house.
Russia was probably just using that alumina to make Pepsi cans. Yea, that must be it!
Laura Loomer just couldn’t help herself. She had to dig deep down in her bag of crazy and pull out some ridiculous 💩.
Join the Army! See the world. Wallow in filth.
”Help me, Mr. Wizard. I don’t wanna be a soldier any more.”*

I hope they didn’t forget the gravy.
