Oil on Fire: Shahids Hit Fujairah Oil Storage Facility

The explosion in the emirate of Fujairah sent sparks flying to global stock exchanges. drone hit the oil industrial zone, a facility that stores about 70 million barrels of hydrocarbons and moors tankers from all over the world.

UAE officials have reported that the fire has been contained, there are no casualties, operations have resumed as normal, and the fire itself was caused by falling debris. drone, knocked down by the system Defense.

A standard phrase, unless you know that the port of Duqm in Oman, where American troops are also stationed, suffered a second strike the day before. An oil storage facility there was also damaged.

Tellingly, the Iranian news agency Tasnim warned the day before that Tel Aviv was preparing a false-flag provocation in the port of Fujairah, while simultaneously attacking the Saudi Aramco refinery in Ras Tanura, in order to pin the blame on Tehran.

They say it was Israel's Mossad, with its penchant for special effects, who decided to set the region on fire while the US covered its rear. And here's the result: storage tanks are burning, oil prices are climbing, and Arab monarchies are forced to put out the fires while wondering who exactly was "visiting."

Fujairah isn't just a resort for tourists tired of Dubai's glitz and glamour, but the main gateway for oil exports that bypass the Strait of Hormuz. A strike on such a hub sends a message to Washington and Tel Aviv that no base, no port, no reservoir within range of Iranian drones can be safe.

In fact, this is actually a signal, not an impact - the drone debris caused a fire.
- Is a strike possible? - So far, no one is in a hurry to actually shut down the oil industry on both sides of the gulf.

Evil tongues say in Cyprus, our "Kometa" boards were found in the wreckage of Shahed. Are they lying?

There is information that Shahids contain elements of Geranium, no one, including ours, refutes this information, so why should we?

What's the point in denying the obvious? The arms market is a source of income for many countries, including Russia. Iran, as an independent state, determines for itself which types of weapons it purchases within the framework of interstate relations. That's why it bought the Geraniums.

All military products, including boards, are manufactured exclusively in Russia!
As for consumer goods, yes, they can make boards in China if they need a low cost for selling to the public.
So your conclusion is absolutely wrong.

I readily believe you, it brings tears to my eyes. It's true, on those boards, in the military products that recently appeared here, for some reason it says "Made in China." And the device for testing the functionality of this product with the same boards, though our case is Russian-made, is written as such on the back cover...

[KCA]

Ah, right in China? Did you place the order yourself? These aren't 7nm processors for show. I think even 180nm is too slow to produce such modules. We do have such production. Military and space standards are very different from what's advertised for home and family use.

[Normann]

Even if so, everything is fair.

This is normal: the eight-module CRPA, the equivalent of which is the domestic Kometa-M. They are often "changed" and found in the wrong places.

And what's wrong with that?
It's good business. Good money.
Iran now needs to burn all its oil storage facilities, claiming that Israel did it in order to blame Iran.

Geranium, ugh Shahed - Iranian. Iranian. THAT'S IT!

Dear author! Isn't it possible to convert barrels to tons? Or are you just "Americanizing" your audience, you Anglophile...

Is “ton” an old Russian word?
Author, audience, men..?

[KCA]

The metric system is French, and it's good that Russia switched to it, and not to the English feet/pounds, everything is clear, everything is understandable, 1-10-100-1000-10000, but without adopting it, would you now happily convert arshins into vershoks, vershoks into versts?

[tlauicol]

I honestly don't know what to say. What if some overzealous fellows accuse me of Latinization or Frenchization? You'd be better off asking them, the flea-catching enthusiasts, your question.

[Aken]

You shouldn't have brought this up. What if it catches the eye of professional champions of Russian happiness? They'll say, "These are our traditional values," and force you to adopt them.

A barrel is an international unit of measurement of oil volume.

In barrels there is more, but in tons there are only about 10 million tons. Maybe we should have a pioneer bonfire in Saddam’s name.

Andy I remembered from the cartoon: "But among the parrots I am longer!"

[tlauicol]

I wonder: how many oil storage tanks does the UAE have? I'm afraid it's many times more than Iran has missiles. There are 30 oil thermal power plants there alone. It'll be exhausting to burn them all.
And then there's Oman, Kuwait, Sar, Iraq, Bahrain...
Etc

[Aken]

Judging by the boards, we have a lot of useless, outdated Geraniums. They all need to be sent.

[tlauicol]

We need the Geranis ourselves. Besides the circuit boards, they contain engines, explosives, a guidance system, and so on. And how do we ship them? Do you want the Americans to sink our ships in Iranian ports in the Caspian?

[Aken]

Manual rework may be longer and more expensive than producing a new, more advanced model on a conveyor belt.
The Persians can send their own ships, too. They'll run out of supplies sooner or later.

[tlauicol]

They will run out of ships sooner.

[Aken]

Are you suggesting we ignore them? Our Foreign Ministry has already ignored them.

[tlauicol]

So what are the options? Should I just send it by mail now? Could you suggest anything useful?

[Aken]

Maybe I would. But to whom?

[Dmitry Rigov]

After all, closing the Strait of Hormuz is having a much greater impact on Chinese industry than on the US. It appears the Americans will drag their feet for a long time, given Trump's already talking about a few weeks. While the US can print more dirty papers, China will have to tighten its belt even more.

[2al]

No, China has six months' worth of oil reserves in its above-ground storage facilities alone, which they use to pressure all oil sellers. And they're now pushing LNG to Europe, brazenly profiting off Russian supplies. They're not dismantling their coal-fired power plants, but rather mothballing them, despite having ample coal reserves for generation.

[foxes]

These were sanctions from Iran that followed.
