Struck!

On the night of January 14, the Ukrainian Defense Forces carried out the most massive strike on the military facilities of the occupiers at a distance of 200 to 1,100 km deep inside the Russian Federation. Targets in the Bryansk, Saratov, Tula regions and the Republic of Tatarstan were hit.

The Kristall Plant oil storage facility in Engels, Saratov region, was again successfully attacked, where a fire that had lasted 5 days after the previous strike had just been extinguished. The fire was successfully restored by units of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Main Intelligence Directorate.

The Bryansk Chemical Plant in the city of Seltso, a strategic facility of the Russian military-industrial complex, was also hit. It produces ammunition for artillery, multiple launch rocket systems, aviation, engineering ammunition and components for the Kh-59 cruise missiles. A secondary detonation was observed on the territory of the plant, which lasted several hours. In addition, two enemy anti-aircraft missile systems - "Tor" and "Buk" - were destroyed during the attack.

Units of the Unmanned Systems Forces, Special Operations Forces, the Security Service of Ukraine, missile troops, the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense were involved in the implementation of this combat mission.

In addition, units of the Main Intelligence Directorate and the Security Service of Ukraine hit strategic facilities of the military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation - the Saratov Oil Refinery and the Kazanorgsintez plant. A fire broke out at both facilities.

Purposeful and systematic work to destroy facilities that provide the occupation army of the Russian Federation with ammunition, military equipment, and fuel and lubricants will continue until the complete cessation of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.

What follows is...

Glory to Ukraine!

200-1100km is a helluva range. That's a serious internal security failure for Russia. Slava Ukraini

Love the way ammunitions and petrochemical facilities provide their own explosives.

Can't put big bombs on drones, so they have to use the ones the Russians kindly provided for them

And on may parade in mozcow please do a flyby with several drones. No explosions, no bombing, just low flyby and some wing waving. And then take a picture of the FΓΌhrers face.

That video clip would bomb on the internet like no other before.

Even with no explosives on board trabagging therm like that would have a massive psychological impact that would last the rest of the war

A banner style Ukranian flag with dyed smoke would be better. They need to know who's fucking with them.

Let it rain blue and yellow dildoes!

That is one strange turn of phrase.
