Well done Ukraine!

The war has come back to Russia, and they are losing badly now, after a long period of deteriorating military strength, and an economy that is just as bad as when the Soviet Union collapsed.
While Ukraine has increased in strength, and has a positive economic outlook as a member of the EU.
Russia is definitely hurting with these hits but it's definitely a war of attrition at this point.
Hopefully the rot sets in and the front collapses quickly.
I saw a post on here a few days ago saying the whole attack on Moscow was a PR stunt by Ukraine. That they were dropping kerosene to generate black smoke. I guess that was all bs
Yeah that was a wild claim. They managed to get past the air defences and bring a drone that could do some serious damage with an explosive, but for publicity they brought kerosene to make it look like they did damage to pretend to look like they could do damage to the bit they could have damaged but didnt cause they playing.
It broke me a little reading that.
Didn’t they hit that with their own missile while failing to shoot down a drone near the refinery?
I’m sure it also took drone hits, but the big explosion was from a wayward Russian manpad.
No surprise, the parts hit are not mass produced and need major repairs. They can be fixed but only over time. Even in the best case where the war ends today and so there are no more attacks I doubt they could repair it.
It’s more than that. There are a LOT of components in there that aren’t made in Russia, and cannot be made in Russia because they don’t have the ability and infrastructure to manufacture them. Things like high precision bearings, and many of the control systems, amongst others. This isn’t just “the refineries are out”. This is also “the refineries cannot be repaired to full capacity, let alone in a reasonable amount of time”.
Haha but I thought the drones were just dropping smoke bombs to fake damage?
I'd say the odds are in favor of it getting another thrashing when it's close to being able to open again.
Huh, you don't say. That totally goes against some propaganda piece that was saying Ukraine's drone attacks can't do significant damage, and they're just for show.
