1. Hit them right in their nasty little pocketses, precious

2. This is what beauty looks like in a classic painting!

3. They hit the cracking tower?

4. Perhaps the idea is to selectivly reduce the ability for some refiners fo store oil  and others to be able to distill  crude oil.

   Make it so Russia is perpetually trying to divide resources to restart (rebuilding storage tanks, etcetera), while other refineries have to go completely offline.

   A completely offline refinery means russia will put fixing it on the bottom of the bucket list. But a partially destroyed (storage tanks, pipeines) refinery puts a lot of pressure on Russia to fix it just to get some capacity.

   I’d severly cripple, but not destroy the oil/fuel capacity near Moscow in particular, forcing Putin to divert logistical recources to repair refinerys, pipelines, pumping stations, rail lines to fixing those. Especially since winter is coming. 

   One exception: Gasoline in particular should be on the scorched earth list of things that need to be completely destroyed.

5. Come on – don’t trust this media. Russia shot everything down and only the debris hit the refinery…

   This joke never gets old.

   Hope UK burns down all russian refineries.

6. It’s a third largest in Russia, with 17 Mio ton p.a.. The largest is in Omsk with 22 mio ton p.a. throughput.

7. Russia will be crippled with shortages come the winter at this rate, must be up to 25% out of use, plus how will they get workers into oil refineries now, dead end job

8. Good.

   More.

9. What is the total percentage of refineries hit now?

10. Russians hate the smell of burning refineries in the morning. It smells like… Defeat.
