Is this a new refinery attack?

It is.

It's becoming clear what Ukrainian plans are. They are looking to strangle Russias ability to fund this war.

The Litski attack last week hit the 7th largest.

This one is 4th.

If this one has to shut down, this creates even more issues. Keep in mind, the sanctions also put a crimp on getting replacement parts.

And they are hitting the AVT units where the crude oil is refined into gasoline, kerosene and diesel.

If your AVT ain't working, your refinery ain't refining.

If this is correct, 40% of their refineries have suffered damages. I wonder what is the tipping point before it all topples.

I think its hard to say for even the experts- since Russia simply lies and hides just about everything from military to financial to economic to production capabilities.

Literally, everything.

2 months ago, they fired the Orishenk missile at Ukraine. Immediately after, Putin said if we have to, we will send MORE.

2 months later, several refinery hits, 2 munition dumps hit and not a single Oreshink fired. Why?

They aint GOT NONE. But Putin told us they had PLENTY.

If you have ever heard the phrase " Potemkin village" - its an old Russian myth from 100s of years ago when Russian Empress Catherine II was to visit Crimea. A General, Gergory Potemkin, constructed fake villages along her route, so as to impress and show their might.

Its largely fake/myth, but it bears some resemblance to Russia in 2025. Its all a front. A Potemkin village.

The Oreshnik isn't that special. Its basically a medium range ballistic missile akin to an ICBM, but at lower max velocity. It was supposed to scare the West (particularly Europe) with its accuracy and velocity - i.e. we can hit your cities dead center with something you can't defend against. When that didn't happen there wasn't any point of sending more.

BTW it didn't actually have warheads on board, as it is intended to have nuclear warheads. So the damage was purely kinetic

They dont have any more.

Or they would have sent some already in response to Ukraine targeting.

Russian Milbloggers were crying out for Russia to send Oreshniks after the first munitions dump blown to bits in Bryansk region in Dec.

crickets.

When the one Oreshnik fired had debris recovered, it was discovered that dates stamped on parts were all over the place. 2017. 2021. 2015.

9 years to construct one? lol.

Correct- it had no warheads.
