Amid the drone threat in the Komi Republic, explosions are heard in the city of Ukhta.

Alarming reports are coming in from the Russian Arctic. Amid the drone threat announced this morning, explosions were heard in the city of Ukhta in the Komi Republic.

This is reported by Russian Telegram channels.

In particular, the publication of the Telegram channel Baza states the following:

A series of explosions rocked Ukhta.

Alarm sirens sound throughout the city.

Reports indicate that a fire broke out at an industrial facility following the explosions. Smoke is seen billowing over the industrial area. Local residents claim the fire originated at an oil refinery.

According to the latest information, a fire broke out at the oil refinery.

An evacuation was also carried out at one of the city's shopping centers. The Telegram channel Shot clarified that this was the Yarmarka shopping center.

The local administration is not yet providing details on the damage or casualties. Most sources attribute the explosions and fire to a Ukrainian drone strike. This is especially true given that Rosaviatsiya (the Federal Air Transport Agency) has announced restrictions on aircraft landings and departures at Ukhta Airport.

It's worth noting that the minimum distance from the northern Russian city to the Ukrainian border is 1,7 kilometers.

There is speculation that the Ukrainian Armed Forces were used to attack Ukhta. drones-kamikaze type "Lyuty". Telegram channel Shot suggests that Drones They took off from the Chernihiv and Poltava regions. From there, they had to travel approximately two thousand kilometers to their destinations.

Earlier today, it was reported about the Ukrainian missile attack on a Russian military facility in the Volgograd region.

How much longer can we go on whining? This is what this game of agreements leads to. If even strikes on our nuclear power plants and strategic bombers don't change anything, then I'm starting to think that even if they start using nuclear weapons against us, that won't change our policy at all. It'll all just end in a vacuum.

[belost79]

This is all because Telegram was not slowed down enough.

[Sky strike fighter]

Are you suggesting we make it even slower? Like, the less you know, the better off you'll be. Otherwise, people will start asking awkward questions. Apparently, they slowed down Telegram so they could keep up with what's being written. They wanted to get to the heart of the matter, because everything is moving too fast.

[belost79]

The generals can't understand how the telegram arrives a second after it was written. And there's no need to go to the post office. It's the wrong telegram. They need to slow it down.

Let's not make degenerates out of our generals... Not all of them are Suvorovs, Kutuzovs, Zhukovs, and Rokossovskys, of course—there's no getting around that. But maybe first we should look at those citizens of the US and others—France, Spain, and Germany—who sit in our State Duma. Why is US citizen I. Rodnina passing laws for Russians? And so on... And only after that we'll talk about the generals. And if anything, it wasn't the generals who decided to slow down Telegram. And if anything, generals don't go to the post office for telegrams; they always have their own communications center right next door.

I wouldn't be surprised if they used the Baltics and Finland for their flight, where the UAV enters a zone virtually devoid of settlements from Arkhangelsk to Komi. There's taiga all around, hundreds of miles away. Nevertheless, credit must be given to the local air defense forces; they shot down more than a dozen drones, with the exception of one that reached the Ukhta Oil Refinery.

It's hard to believe the drones came from Ukraine. They most likely came from the Baltics or Finland.

[oleg-nekrasov-19]

It's a closely guarded secret: to stop drones from flying over Russian territory, it would be necessary to carry out one massive strike to take out the entire political elite of Kyiv, all their "decision-making centers" (something less and less is being said about this these days), and also to disconnect all three nuclear power plants from the grid.

[Intelligence]

A tempting offer.
Have you considered the possibility of a mirror response? Or is that beyond the enemy's capabilities?
Let me remind you: four of our nuclear power plants are located near the border: the Kursk NPP is less than 100 km from the Sumy region, the Rostov NPP is 150-200 km from the border of the Luhansk/Donetsk regions, the Novovoronezh NPP is 200-250 km from the border, and the Smolensk NPP is 250-300 km from the north-eastern borders.

I think there was an article about the Lyuty UAV's specifications on this site six months ago, but it seems like no one read it. It has a range of 2000 km, and can be upgraded to 3000 km. Like the Gerani, it's constantly being upgraded. But Yaroslavna's whining about whether it's from other countries or from her own territory should stop.

[d.zacharith]

Most likely, the drones came from the Baltics or Finland.
And it's not at all necessary. They could have brought some ship closer and launched it from there.

[Personal opinion]

The distance there is no less, from Ukhta (Komi Republic) to the Baltics (for example, to Latvia) in a straight line is approximately 1500-1700 kilometers.

Because it's impossible, our Western partners won't understand.

You can't assemble either the "Lyuty" or the A-22 on your knees, and you need a runway.
Information from enemy travelers allows for the optimal route to be found, especially since there was an attempt to attack this oil refinery with a single drone six months ago. However, no conclusions were drawn (on the Russian side).

[topol717]

Quote: knn54

and the runway is needed.

Why isn't an asphalt road suitable?

[osp]

The wingspan of these aircraft ranges from 6 to 11 meters. When fully loaded, their takeoff range can be 500-800 meters or more.
Where will you find roads with such a width of almost 11 meters?

[topol717]

The lane width is 3.75 x 2, which is already 7,5 meters + 2 meters of shoulder, for a total of 11.5 meters. And since the road is usually made of sand, that's another 3-meter ditch on each side. And if it's a field, even a Boeing could land there.

But seriously, I don’t understand why they can fly 2000 km undetected, and if they are noticed, why there is no way to shoot them down.

Today, 12: 20

Here, we cannot rule out routing through dates; tri-bolts with intelligence from NATO are not needed, nor are mattresses, as are launches from Russian territory.
Everyone remembers the events of last year, 2025, when European countries from Poles to Fritzes and further west, including the Mattress Makers, were concerned about the flights of unidentified drones.
The population was being ideologically brainwashed about the Russian threat in order to allocate money to the Banderonazis.

[Yuri L]

The West's absolute certainty that we will never use nuclear weapons (Money and Children—it seems to be a blood-based promise) is precisely what's leading to what we're seeing. I think within a year, Ukraine will urgently "invent" tactical nuclear weapons along with radiological ones, "rent" Tomahawks on ships and Minuteman IIIs right from silos at American airbases, and will launch attacks with impunity across Russia every day, to the applause of the West. Or is that true?

The Telegram channel Shot suggests the drones took off from the Chernihiv and Poltava regions. From there, they had to travel approximately two thousand kilometers to their targets.

It's closer from Lappeenranta, Finland – 1300 km. From Estonia – 1500 km. From Norway – 1200 km.

Launched from Finnish territory, the UAV can fly over sparsely populated areas of Karelia, the Arkhangelsk region, etc.
But the question, as usual, isn't this: where are the air defense drones equipped with automated control systems and low-pulse weapons to destroy UAVs? There's nothing for them, primarily engines—tens of billions were squandered on the project, and the project never moved beyond prototypes. There's no mass-produced engine, and no one responsible. They could have simply revived M-11 production, as they once wanted in Istra in 2011. The USSR produced M-11s in the tens of thousands. Why isn't it available in Russia? Maybe because Chemezov fled to Israel on February 24, 22?

[rocket757]

The threat from attack drones... was, is and will be.
How to eliminate such a threat... one can discuss this topic at length, making various plans, but in fact, for one reason or another, no plans can be realized, and this is an objective reality.

[Reptiloid]

Hello Victor It turns out they're constantly improving right before our eyes. And there are no obstacles to them, right?

[rocket757]

Hi Dmitry
Let's be realists, EVERYTHING IS IMPROVED and always!
But it just so happens that a simple "weapon for the poor" is easier, faster, and cheaper to modernize and improve than the same defense systems, which are much more complex, expensive, and require a lot of design talent, technology, and production excellence to not just MAKE it, but to make it better and more effective!
Alas, the process, the competition of sword against shield, is on the rise!
Also, strike systems have plenty of room to roam in the vast expanses of our territory, but you can't put air defense systems behind every hummock or forest... there simply aren't that many of them!
Why aren't there so many of them, and why aren't other related problems solved... well, who should I ask them to, and should I expect answers?

But no one put the economy on a war footing, and business, well, that's how it is: if they don't pay, they won't do anything...
Well, in our case... we have to restore and increase production as we go, and this is despite the fact that those who are the "economic bloc of the government," i.e. those who manage the money, are so... in short, everything is complicated, there are no words, just beeping...

[rocket757]

Bohemians and those who hang around this business, make money... it's a slippery topic.
Separating them from the state... that's not rational. Taking them under control... that happened too, and the results were mixed.
The whole problem is that they are happy to control this sphere... but to be held accountable for the mess with... no way in your life!
In general... I haven't looked at anything for a long time, ever... it's disgusting.
Moreover, there is no trace of culture there, it’s a factory for making money and nothing more.

I wonder if anyone believes this? What does this mean – a slow-moving, non-stealthy contraption can easily pass through our territory for thousands of kilometers, bypassing all air defense systems??? How are we supposed to fight the entire West then? When will they start firing modern missiles at us? And that's exactly what's happening, unfortunately...
It's one of two things - either they didn't come from Tsegabonia, or we don't have any air defense at all. I don't even know which assumption is worse...

But that's not the point - if the system doesn't work not because of technology, but because the generals are too shy to make a decision - then the system will still DOES NOT WORK.

They would have shot it down and then told the world, "It was an accident. Crashed somewhere in the swamps. We're looking for it, but we can't find it yet." And the ideal option was the Mi-24s flying near Moscow. They could—with their two-fold speed advantage—have caught up with it, maneuvered it much more effectively, and shot it down if necessary (a 30mm would have cut a Cessna in half).

Ultimately, the entire world saw the worst possible outcome for the USSR: the SA generals incapable of accepting responsibility. After this, it became clear to everyone—the entire world—that the SA could not and would not defend the USSR.
What actually happened a little later is that the army did nothing to defend the USSR, but just like in the case of Rust, they said, "But there was no order. Where would we be without an order?! It's absolutely impossible!!!"
Well, for the same reason - lack of responsibility - none of the generals shot themselves out of shame - they did not feel responsible for preserving the USSR.

[parma]

Please don't write nonsense... there was an order, or rather two orders, not to shoot down! Firstly, after the Boeing over Sakhalin, there was an order not to shoot at civilian aircraft without special instructions, no matter what they did! Secondly, there is an international agreement that says light aircraft cannot be shot down, only landed.
Regarding the nonsense that "the army didn't save the union from collapse"—in any state governed by the rule of law, the army is merely an instrument, a ministry. It is limited by law; its purview includes protection from external threats! The military has neither the legal nor the moral right to shoot its own citizens; that's what the police and internal troops/National Guard are for! It's easy for you to argue that "they should have," but that's just your personal (though perhaps popular) point of view. The questions should be directed not at the military, but at politicians...

And the smoke most likely comes from the boiler room's reserve barrels.

Wide-angle, short-focus lenses hide space and distort perspective.

Once again, smoke is coming from the boiler stack. The plant's columns and main tanks are located 1 km north of that stack. In that photo, you'd have to go very far to the left.

A coincidence just before the oil shipment to Cuba. Does anyone still doubt that all these attacks are being directly orchestrated and directed from the US?

First of all, why is the name of a nationally significant facility not in the official language? If you mark my words, you'll end up like in the USSR, when in the Baltics, virtually all the names of train stations, airports, stadiums, theaters, universities, and factories were "flaunted" not in the official Russian language, but in the languages ​​of national minorities.
In the USSR, Russians were the national majority, so Russian was the official language. In the USSR, Latvians, for example, were a national minority, so their language was the language of a national minority. And for some reason, the names of those places I listed above weren't in Russian! We all know how that ended.
Don't make me laugh by saying that Ukrainian drones are already flying from Ukraine to the Arctic. There are northern NATO countries that are very uninterested in Russia's victory, Ukraine's defeat, or an end to this war. How many kilometers is it from Ukraine to Ukhta through Russian territory? And how many kilometers from northern NATO countries? Three times less! And if Russia's air defenses on the border with Ukraine, where everyone is watching everything because there's a war going on, can't detect all the Ukrainian drones and they penetrate deep into Russia, then launching such drones from somewhere like Finland, undetected, would have a much better chance. It's a good thing these drones weren't brought to Komi in trucks by Russians recruited by the SBU and then launched from there to Ukhta.

Hmm, a little less than three -

Quote: alexboguslavski

From Finnish Lappeenranta closer - 1300 km. From Estonia -1500 km. From Norway - 1200 km.

[Dedok]

Firstly, why is the name of this object on an object of state importance not in the state language !!!.

The entire country is switching to the "state" messenger MAX...
Is it "max" or, as everyone calls it, "max"? What language is this transcription from?

[kig]

There's a short video. It's flying along calmly, in broad daylight, with no one shooting at it. A country unafraid.

Quote from: topol717

The attacked oil refinery has nothing to do with the Ministry of Defense. Now it's clear.

No, it's not clear...if the enemy easily bypasses air defense zones and attacks everything he wants, then in a war lasting ten years or more, all our cities will be subject to airstrikes with destruction in the civilian sphere...not only oil refineries will be attacked...but also other high-risk facilities...and there are a lot of them in Russia...and these are not only Defense Ministry facilities.

Plastic, flies low compared to traditional air defense systems

How many times have we talked about the immediate use of airships equipped with low-flying object detection systems? but so far there is no movement in this area... oh, Mother Russia.

It'll be a long way from Kyiv... I suspect more "spiders" will be spinning their webs in Komi. That means there's not enough dichlorvossim, not enough of them!

[Sotskiy]

Amid the drone threat in the Komi Republic, explosions are heard in the city of Ukhta.

Should Primorsky Krai get ready?

[Dedok]

Should Primorsky Krai get ready?

Are you talking about Komsomolsk-on-Amur? Yes, it's nearby.

There's a lot more to Primorsky Krai than Komsomolsk, unless it's been "optimized" in the meantime.
I served my compulsory military service there, right in the middle between Komsomolsk and Khabarovsk during the Soviet Union.
And the question was about the trend towards increasing the range of shelling.

Can you even imagine the size of devices like the A-22 and Lyuty? How are they made?
The first one is roughly like Rust's Cessna, the second one is almost like the Bayraktar and was based on it.
Weight up to half a ton and wingspan from 6 to 11 meters.
And in one night, hundreds of them can fly to the rear areas.

[Comrade Kim]

What is the distance from the launch site in Banderastan to the attacked target in Komi?

What about the spirit of Anchorage, and the belief that you won't be deceived 25 times?

Liberalism in power will lead to no good. China once looked to its older brother, the USSR, as an example; it's time for Russia to follow China's example. No one is irreplaceable there, as Comrade Xi proved by thoroughly shaking up the military brass.

But seriously, I don’t understand why they can fly 2000 km undetected, and if they are noticed, why there is no way to shoot them down.

We don't have a complete air defense system, only pockets. The pockets are simply bypassed.

[sgrabik]

They missed the mark again, enemy UAVs were able to fly 2000 km unnoticed by our air defenses, is this really still possible?

[alexboguslavski]

There is a video in which I also couldn’t see the chassis.

So where could these "Lutye" missiles have been launched from?

[oleg_627]

What nonsense, Trump praises the Tsar and then... sanctions! European leaders are sending heralds to Moscow and preparing for war, but the Tsar and his tolerant retinue have been coddling them for five years, lying to the boys, believing them, fooling them, deceiving them, and spitting in their backs, running across the border in droves. They should have just left their children and their property abroad alone.

[sgrabik]

It's clear that all this worthless liberalism, excessive tolerance and tolerance will lead us nowhere. It's time to understand this and draw the necessary conclusions.
