Hit last night and still burning, it looks as if the damage is more than just shore tanks.

Speaking of still burning, this is day three for Tuapse. This is a diked containment area full of heavy oil burning. Which means one or more of the tanks have collapsed. Their only option is to let it burn out, nothing's going to extinguish that.

Wow, these people don't fool around.

Right now, three oil refineries are burning simultaneously in Russia. Novokuybyshevsk and Syzran are burning after tonight's attack, and Tuapse, on the video, is burning for the third day after the last attack.

We may see some of these in Calcasieu duck blinds this fall. Yes, a bit over the top, but admit it, you wouldn't be surprised.

Like Rayethon and Lockheed, Bell is smelling the coffee on future sales in Europe and the Middle East.

More on last night's strike on Atlant Aero plant in Taganrog. "... using Neptune missiles."

What would a UAV assembly plant contain that would cause this level of fires?

Some real war news. Russia still struggling to maintain an offense.

quote:

Key Takeaways
Russian forces conducted four platoon-sized or smaller mechanized and motorized assaults across the theater in the last 48 hours, but these assaults are unlikely to bolster the ongoing Russian spring-summer 2026 offensive.

The Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces (USF) employed an unmanned surface vessel (USV)-launched interceptor drone to intercept a Russian Shahed long-range strike drone for the first time and are creating USF naval drone battalions.

A Russian defense industrial enterprise director criticized how the Russian government’s adopted economic policies have overcooled the Russian economy to the detriment of Russia’s import substitution efforts.

Ukrainian forces recently advanced in the Kostyantynivka direction. Russian forces recently advanced in Kursk Oblast.

Russian forces launched 236 drones against Ukraine. Ukrainian forces struck the Atlant Aero drone development and production plant in Taganrog, Rostov Oblast.

drone production in which Russians cited problems in obtaining even basic components

The Iranians helped Russia build its drone plants and were further helping them obtain the parts for manufacturing them.

Iran is a little to busy at the moment to keep doing those things. Bombing the shite out of Iran is actually hurting Russian drone manufacturing at the same time.

Despite the claims of that ONE poster that Trump threw Moscow an economic lifeline, ZERO impact on helping the Russian economy. Many are not paying their bills.

Who's talking about the Russian economy? That was DOA last year and has only been on life support due to the tsunamis of REPO auctions every week.

It's the military budget that is of importance here. When Putin got the sanctions dropped, the billions generated went directly into war production, bypassing the Russian Ministry of Finance. And now that he has permanently ended these sanctions, this lifeline for the Russian war effort will continue.
