Mesh security cages still don’t help Russians to protect their oil tanks from Ukrainian drones

  1. Cope cages are a psychological effort, not a change in hell of working

  2. The cages are so the wildlife is protected from flames. Putin cares takes care of nature.

  3. Do they use thermite in the explosives in the UAV’s. I mean if they could use an aerial explosion with it, to get more of the oil tanks in one shot. Although I’m not sure what the roof is made of and if it would burn through or even if it would ignite if it got through.

  4. The cage is to contain the fire. Not prevent it.

  5. The whole of Russia will soon have a cope cage over it.

  6. I hope Putin is buying some carbon credits to offset the carbon emissions

  7. Why not fill up the space between the tanks and cage with human bodies?

  8. I suppose it’s too late to try placing tires on refinery and storage infrastructure–like placing tires on aircraft wings…

  9. Burn, babies! Burn!

    I sincerely hope this comment will not be screenshot and taken completely out of context in the future.

    Still, “Post And Be Damned”, that’s my motto!

  10. You mean the demonstration when they swung a mock-up drone in to one of these at 1mph and it stopping the drone wasn’t accurate?! For shame, how can we ever trust anything that comes out of Russia now, or before…or ever.

  11. They never invested in air defense because they never believed anyone would attack them.

  12. Thermite? Thermite will melt right through all that? but at least they were busy?

  13. I guess they would work if it was shaped-charge attacks, also the storage tanks themselves would have to be heavily armored as well. From what I’ve seen it seems high-explosive drones are what they mostly use for these spicy refinery targets.
