The fire started at an oil depot in Russia in Krasnodar Krai after a drone attack. This was announced by the head of the region, Veniamin Kondratiev.

  2. Russia’s oil industry is shattered. Their pipelines, refineries, rail depots all targeted by Ukraine on a daily basis for the past 18 months, relentlessly.

    20% of Russian GDP is oil and they can’t even get it to ports.

    Gazprom is almost insolvent.

    And T-bag wants rare earth minerals in exchange for weapons, and Zelensky said he’s down with that.

  3. I really, really hope that they don’t have the specialised firefighters/foaming additives that are need to put out these oil/fuel fires. One of the things I haven’t really seen talked about, is that at the bottom of these massive fuel storage silos there will be water. The longer they have existed without general maintenance the more water there will be (either through leaching out of the fuel/oil itself or from the general environment). During a fire like this, the water is in a super heated state and the only thing stopping the rapid steam expansion (1 liter of water expands to roughly 1600 liters of steam) is the mass of the fuel or oil above it. Eventually there reaches a tipping point where the mass of the fuel above is no longer able to contain the rapidly expanding steam and you get a [BLEVE](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_liquid_expanding_vapor_explosion). Shit is dangerous as fuck. If you haven’t seen it; while it probably can’t be counted as a BLEVE, this is what a [steam expansion event](https://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/s/VDkPmAXXyl) looks like. It’s dangerous fucking stuff.

  7. Another amazing drone interception by the Russian AA. Now imagine if the drone hit that Oil Depot, it be a HUGE crater!

  8. Oil depot? Looks like a new “warming center” to me 😆

  10. There is a good reason the head of the region referred to this as a “fire”, it is a raging inferno of cataclysmic proportions.

    It is amazing that the murderous little turd in the Kremlin can’t feel the heat. And it is only going to get hotter.
