Ukrainian drone strike leads to explosion with fire at oil depot in Donetsk

A Ukrainian drone struck a tank farm in the Kirovsky district of Donetsk. As a result of the explosion, a fire broke out at the oil storage, the DPR Ministry of Information said.

According to First Deputy Minister Daniil Bezsonov, on September 11, an explosion occurred at an oil depot in the Kirovsky district of Donetsk, followed by a fire in the oil storage. As a result of the fire, 1300 tons of oil were destroyed, and the fire itself was extinguished.

As established, a Ukrainian drone attacked the oil depot, dropping an explosive device on the oil depot. The drone itself was destroyed by the explosion, its remains were found on the roof of an oil tank. Base personnel upon discovery drone was evacuated.

In the morning, Ukrainian UAVs conducting reconnaissance were recorded over the oil depot (...) At about 12:30, the Ukrainian UAV dropped an explosive device on the oil storage (...) The UAV was hit by a blast wave, they fell side by side

- said in a statement.

According to the JCCC, Ukrainian drones struck the oil depot twice, five hours apart. First, at 7:30 am an explosive device dropped from a UAV drone fell 50 meters from the tank with fuel and lubricants, no one was injured. The second incident occurred already at 12:30, an explosive device fell on the roof of an oil storage facility, which led to an explosion followed by a fire. The remains of two drones were found at the site of the explosion. It is possible that a kamikaze drone was used.

Kiev does not comment on the published data, stating that over the past XNUMX hours the "Russian occupation troops" repeatedly violated the ceasefire, which led to the death of two and the injury of nine servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. There are no violations by the Ukrainian military, according to the command of the JFO.

And what, are we going to list what they had to do?

[Prisoner]

What's the point? The local servicemen already knew for sure what had to be done to ensure the safety of such a facility. Now they themselves will report to the top why, why and for what reason. And, accordingly, someone will snatch it off.

[rocket757]

It is useful to receive Lulei when it affects ... the final result.

[Prisoner]

This is right. Otherwise, this is just revenge for the flight, and not an educational procedure.

[SKVichyakow]

So the team probably was not to provoke. Everything should go astray on approach. And until there are adequate answers to them, everything will continue to grow. After all, the law that impunity affects permissiveness has not yet been canceled or challenged.

someone will snatch away

And perhaps someone simply prefers to grab a Lyuli for "sabotage" rather than grab a Lyuli for wasting 1300 tons of oil. It looks very strange - everyone was evacuated, the second time they blew up ...
I cannot know for sure whether such a suspicion is justified. But the likelihood of this is by no means zero. In order to prevent such "sabotage" in the future, it is necessary, among other things, to thoroughly investigate all the circumstances of such cases and check all their defendants. It is possible that by the amount of combustion products on the ground, it is possible to determine how much fuel actually burned out. If it is possible, then it must be done for any money.

The greed of the quartermasters can destroy any army.

Judging by the data given in the article, this drone was aiming for almost half a day and only the second time it threw the bomb where it should be. At the same time, it was at such a height that it was destroyed by an explosion. One gets the impression that it was actually bought in the store. The civilian market is full of examples that allow this to be done.

Strange, and the first unsuccessful attempt did not alert anyone, did not force them to take preventive measures? Could something be done in five hours?
Does it turn out, or there is nothing to withstand the drones, or there is no one to make decisions? What then should we expect next?

[Roma 1977]

There is only one preventive measure - cruise missiles at large infrastructure facilities of the enemy: bridges, warehouses, the largest enterprises ...

[Sasha from Uralmash]

This is exactly what they are asking for!

[Roma 1977]

- And that's great. This means that Ukraine can be turned into a bottomless barrel for the utilization of Western resources. At the same time, to achieve the physical destruction of the production potential of the type, for example, the factories "Motor Sich",
"Zorya - Mashproekt", the remains of the tank building and aircraft building clusters.

[t-12]

At the same time, achieve the physical destruction of production potential such as, for example, the Motor Sich factories.

They themselves effectively destroy the production potential. Ukraine is not interested in any factories and ships there, they will buy / receive all the "pieces of iron" from an overseas ally.

[Roma 1977]

Motor Sich is now a direct competitor to Russian helicopter maintenance companies. Ukrainian enterprises are also noticed in cooperation with China and Turkey on topics sensitive for the Russian Federation.

Minusators feel sorry for the gnome-comedian Ze and his omerikanskih lords? Or the general staff of svidoukrii? So it is possible to destroy the leaders of Novorossiya and burn people in Odessa?

I disagree. Let them make whatever decisions they want in their places. But industrial facilities and infrastructure should be destroyed, so that these solutions could not be implemented in practice.

It makes sense to hit only the Americans. But this must be done by the hands of guerrillas in territories remote from the United States, where it is costly for the Americans to conduct military or police actions. The US withdrawal from Afghanistan is apparently caused precisely by the fear of the development of the situation in such a plane. In this case, in response, it makes sense to attack an oil refinery or chemical plant in Ukraine with a drone. In this case, the cost of waging the war for Ukraine will exceed aid from the West.

Well, or at least toss Russian drones to the republics (let them train). And they themselves will decide on what targets to hit with them. Personally, I would not mind if arsenals and barracks suddenly began to explode in the depths of Ukrainian territory.

It is possible to "merge" (allegedly) the production technology of "Lancets" and set up their production in the LPR. After a dozen released, for example, in Donetsk, put a party and cover all the art in the contact zone. Share target designation with the UAV from your territory. There is plenty of talk about Russia helping the republics. I think that it is high time to help the republics without an obvious presence in military cooperation. Our "shyness" is costly both for the LPR and for our image of a reliable partner.

Gas storages are cavities deep underground for billions of cubic meters. It is much easier to cut off the supply of Russian gas to them than to try to blow it up.

Quote: Roma-1977

Gas storages are cavities deep underground for billions of cubic meters.

UGS (underground gas storage) is not just an underground cavity from which a pipe with a crane sticks out. This is a huge and very complex production located on the ground. This includes kilometers of pipes, many hundreds of valves and valves, drying columns, compressors, distribution blocks and many other equipment. At one time I had to visit the Shchelkovskoye UGS facility, Kasimovskoye, and others. So, if you strike an UGS facility, then it will burn until the entire volume of injected gas burns out. And you will extinguish the figs!

[Luminman]

Of course have. But since everything is designed for a hundred atmospheres or more, everything is very thick and strong. For serious destruction, you will need something more powerful than an IED on a drone with "Aliexpress"

[Old ensign]

two options: either the fuel was stolen and it was decided to blame it on a terrorist attack, or indeed a terrorist attack. Most likely stolen. 1300 tons of oil would give such a fire that it could be seen from afar, and in the photo the consequences are ridiculous.

Laughter . Ask how oil tankers are burning))))
First, if the capacity of the tank were almost empty, the explosion would be strong (exactly as you think), since the gas-air mixture that was in the tank would explode.
If the tank was full, then there was practically nothing to explode (there is no oil vapors there), and there would have been just a fire. Which is extinguished with foam.
There, in the video, around the funnel of impact, within a radius of 10 meters, traces of fire are perfectly visible.
PS I understand that it is difficult for a Ukrainian to imagine that an oil storage facility can be full, but nevertheless)))

[yfast]

But where is the oil?

[Ross xnumx]

I don't know what to say about the ignition of 1300 tons of oil, but the video looks like this:

It doesn't look like 21 oil cisterns burned out there ...

[Egoza]

The date is alarming - September 11! But they forgot that this is not only the date of the "tragedy in the United States", but also the birthday of Comrade. Dzerzhinsky. Maybe they managed to pump the oil to another place beforehand, but left this base as a bait?

Not at all. On day "X", the targets of such drones will be many strategic military and infrastructure facilities of the LPNR, they are currently being tested, including in the rear of the LPNR troops ....
It can be assumed that agents of the SBU and their sympathetic elements work at such enterprises and facilities, because according to the last census in Donetsk and Luhansk regions, more than 50% of the population identified themselves as Ukrainians ... and then it was not nationalists who were in power ...

Quote: ROSS 42

Such a reservoir has a capacity of 2000 m3, which corresponds to approximately 1600 tons of oil. I do not know the technological standards, but it is possible that if the reservoir is damaged, its entire volume is written off. And oil burned through a small hole without spilling, so that it could burn without intense flame formation. It is almost impossible to extinguish with water - the water is denser, therefore it drowns in oil.

"A vertical steel tank with a volume of 2000 m3 (abbreviated as RVS-2000) is a cylindrical tank for surface storage of liquids with a density of up to 1 t / m3.
It is used for storing oil products, water, alcohol and other technical liquids. "

This is not a two-thousander. It is lower than the thousand meter (this is noticeable from the overpass in the drawing), but the diameter is larger.

[Vasyok]

It doesn't look like 21 oil cisterns burned out there ...

Of course not. On the video there are thousands of tanks. 1300 tons of oil is to the eyeballs (under the roof). Judging by the volume of the fire, no more than a cube burned out. Then where are the remaining 1299 tons?
It's not clear why firefighters don't use dry pipes to supply foam to the tank? (There are two of them for each tank. The connectors are placed behind the embankment.) And we climbed up with the sleeves ...

[Kerensky]

As a result of the fire, 1300 tons of oil were destroyed, the fire itself was extinguished.

Well, who is being treated? Yes, the average man will believe.
I painted these tanks with silver paint. Why isn't the paint burnt? If the tank is 10.000 cubic meters dry after fuel, then smoking on the roof is not worth it. If there is oil, then you can at least dance with a cigar.
Minus as much as you like, but sleeves with water are something !!! 10.000 cubic meters of water must be poured from above ...

[Vavilov]

this can only be answered by the appearance of their own drones in the army of the republics, which will destroy ukrov oil depots in the depths of their territory.

This and much more will not end until the fascist state of Ukraine is destroyed. It would be better if this happened naturally under the influence of economic and social reasons, but personally it seems to me that military intervention is indispensable.
