Looks like we have a new Russian post-war euphemism here: on the fifth day of the Kristall fuel depot fire in Engels, after the Ukrainian drone attack on Jan. 8th, the local governor says it’s in the process of a 'controlled burn-out'.

  1. why don’t they just TAKE the fire, and push it over THERE

  2. It is not burning, it is a monument to honour fire 😂😂😂

  6. Ukraine counters Russia’s 3-day Special Military Operation with a 5-day Special Refinery Operation… 🔥

  7. reminds me of the Springfield Tire Fire, “now smelled in 21 republics”

  8. Is a controlled burn out different than an uncontrolled burn out?

  10. What is that explosion just at the end of video? It seem that one of those ”chimneys” explode. Was it due gas accumulation or something or was it another drone?

  11. Ukraine ensuring that russia can meet its net zero commitments as soon as possible.

  12. It is not a refinery and it is not Ukrainians who lighten it ip. It is a eternal flame monument of Russian idiocracy.

  14. It’s actually not burning it’s suffering from debris…

  16. Any firearms experts….what would be the best way to set a huge tank field ablaze that has hundreds of tanks.

    Is there machine gun ammunition of a higher caliber that can cause ruptures and to failures. These drones seem to hit a tank, a few tanks ablaze, but there are sooooo many more. How much oil products are actually being destroyed.

    My concept is a drone with machine gun fire or thermite that can rake the tank field ablaze.

    Maybe I watched too many Rambo and Commando movies.

  17. I can’t imagine the toll this war is taking on the environment. Reminds me of seeing all the oil wells in Kuwait that were set on fire. I understand why it is done, but war sucks.

  21. The local governor is delusional and his mind is undergoing a uncontrolled burn out.

  24. Excellent, just some Orcs taking a smoke break !

  25. Sounds about right. I am currently also going through a controlled burnout.

  27. I have read that this fuel depot can hold 800 thousand metric tonnes of fuel, and Jet A-1 (just for reference, the fuel stored there is probably more expensive) costs around 675 USD per tonne in Russia, if the tanks were full and if they continue to burn untill there’s nothing left, the cost of the fuel lost alone would be more than half a billion USD.

  28. Has Russia given up on the explosion priests? Those guys can pray fires out.

  30. well at least the locals dont have to burn the furniture for a few days this winter.

  31. It’s no big deal giys. It doesn’t affect anything…
