Telegram channels reported an attack on a substation of the Transneft-Druzhba oil pipeline by a Ukrainian UAV

On the morning of March 3, an unmanned aerial vehicle of the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked a substation of the Transneft-Druzhba oil pipeline. This is reported by the Baza Telegram channel, citing a source familiar with the situation.

According to the channel, the oil pipeline was practically not damaged as a result of the raid by the Ukrainian UAV. The drone damaged only a tank with a capacity of 3 tons, which was already empty. As a result of the attack, a hole was formed in the tank.

The Ukrainian drone was reportedly carrying an improvised explosive device. As he approached, four employees were evacuated from the substation. Fortunately, there were no casualties as a result of the Ukrainian raid. It should be noted that there have not yet been any official comments from representatives of law enforcement agencies or authorities regarding this raid.

It is known that recently Ukrainian formations with the help of an unmanned aviation regularly carry out attacks on various sections of the Transneft-Druzhba oil pipeline in regions of the Russian Federation bordering Ukraine. Such attacks aim, firstly, to cause some damage to the Russian energy infrastructure, and secondly, to demonstrate to the Russian side the capabilities of Ukrainian formations, if necessary, to carry out such sabotage.

Naturally, such sabotage activity by the Ukrainian side requires appropriate measures on the part of Russia, both in terms of increasing the security of strategic energy infrastructure facilities, and in terms of responding to the Kyiv regime.

I don’t understand .. After all, this oil pipeline and gas pipeline, while the real earnings of Ukraine? Or is it for a kahal in Kyiv already small things hehe?

This is primarily earnings for "our" kahal. The Ukrainians are doing what our authorities should have done long ago - to completely stop all supplies of resources to Western countries. At the moment, gas reserves in European gas storage facilities exceed the figures for the month of March in ten years.
But the guards will say that these are pensions and social programs for Russian citizens. And the fact that it is also the blood of the citizens of Russia, they can not see.

[Fangaro]

Many times it was written here that "pipes" cannot be damaged from any side. Or is it not the "Friendship" through which oil is "not shipped" to Europe?

[DymOk_v_dYmke]

It is possible that the blow was struck on an empty tank not by chance.
Demonstration of capabilities without causing serious damage.

If you wanted to seriously damage it, it would be easier to do it on your own territory and blame Russia.

[January]

Damage to the pipeline on the territory of Ukraine is a de jure problem and responsibility of Ukraine. Who would she blame for this?
And the termination of deliveries from the territory of Russia is, accordingly, a "jamb" on the part of Russia. And all claims against her. Whoever was the actual culprit.

[Soldatov V.]

It must be understood that all Ukrainian attacks are approved by the West. Why not completely shut down this oil pipeline if they so desire.

[Nexcom]

The West not only wants this. According to Western press reports, the US has hinted that Ukraine will have to pay for all the aid it provides.
Balloons, soon it will be time to turn out pockets! In full.

No more freebies, lads!

[kenpachi]

And the West merges Zelensky. And they will all freeze soon.
How many years have I been hearing this

... such sabotage activity by the Ukrainian side requires appropriate measures from Russia,

There can be only one appropriate measure - to put an end to the Nazi regime.

[Pilot]

Apparently, the dill the other day heard the formidable statements of our elite, who promised not to allow anyone else to undermine our pipes. Decided to pull up for the market?

If the mountain does not go to Magomed, then Magomed goes to the mountain:

The General Staff of the Russian Federation has stopped inflicting massive strikes on the critical infrastructure of the enemy - the energy system of Ukraine has not been finished off, the railways of Ukraine are working, bridges in Ukraine are not being touched at all.

So, get yourself and sign.
The drooling of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the General Staff of the Russian Federation is already really infuriating everyone in the Russian Federation.

[SaLaR]

Judging by the resonance that the terrorist act produced in the Bryansk region, those who conceived it and carried it out achieved their goals.
Yes. Let it have no consequences in the military sense.
But in the socio-political, the result is 100%.
Russia's borders are transparent.
Air defense is full of holes.
The population is not protected.
Reproaches to the leadership of the country and the Defense Ministry have a place to be.
Fat spitting at the address of the special services was a success.
Russia's international prestige did not rise after this.
A contribution has been made to the preparations for the presidential elections in Russia.
And most importantly. What is Russia's response today? That's right - none.
Everything is natural. You don't hit, they hit you.
A great way to show with impunity that Russia endured the country.
If you do not respond to humiliation, then who are you?
Now try to convince me that I'm wrong.

[Vladimir M]

And it is right that they stopped striking the energy system of Ukraine, at least to the extent that they were struck. As a result of such strikes (in that volume), they used up missiles with an efficiency close to zero and rallied the population against us. If they strike at the energy sector of Ukraine, then they knock them out to zero. But no one will agree to this - it is necessary for the "partners" to supply oil, gas, ensure the loading of grain ... and for this, Ukraine's energy industry is indispensable. Well, for the sake of justice, there are a lot of nuclear power plants in Ukraine that also need energy from outside, the stubborn ones can take off the nuclear power plant and write it off on us.

[Ratibor_A]

What nonsense ... The population there has been against us for a long time, when will you already realize this ...

[ximkim]

And what? Let them try.
If this oil pipeline fails, everyone will be in a big plus.

[Volunteer Marek]

Everything is pretty simple here. Ukraine is at war. We have SVO. That's all.

[Petr_Koldunov]

Naturally, such sabotage activity by the Ukrainian side requires appropriate measures on the part of Russia, both in terms of increasing the security of strategic energy infrastructure facilities, and in terms of responding to the Kyiv regime.

A good and correct message ... It's a pity that our leadership does not hear and does not want to hear you.

[mikh-korsakov]

"requires an answer --- to the Kyiv regime"? Well, it's just easy. The scheme has been worked out for a long time. The first step is to attract the attention of the world community. Then M. Zakharova will speak and say something devastatingly revealing - and assure the public that the criminal act will not go unanswered. The UK will get excited and conduct a thorough investigation and assure the perpetrators that they will be punished. The president will speak out, pointing out fairly that this act is an act .... (insert the missing one) and will order to take measures to prevent it. Further - silence, but the people are busy - attract attention, investigate, take measures to prevent. Everything would be fine - but to no avail. The enemy will only grow bolder. Because from the outside it looks like an invitation to the future. You do something else there, and we will take measures to prevent it from happening in the future.

Yes thank you, by appropriate measures we have already heard, your company is your problem.....

The head of the Defense Committee of the State Duma, Kartapolov, offers Russian companies to buy air defense systems themselves!

[Ratibor_A]

When will the gas pipeline in Ukraine, which pumps gas to the EU, be blown up (as if the Khokly did it)? After that, the Hockles will lose all desire to blow up some wires ...
