The US was also fuelling Great Britain, Australia, and the Soviet Union. WW2 was won by the Odessa (Texas) oil fields.
You can remain at "just four more days" indefinitely until supply is disrupted.
A Hispanicier questions is whether there is any truth to the whining by regional governors and farmers in Russia proper - they are complaining that the harvest is already impacted by fuel shortages.

Vast, massive hubris as well as believing that because of your agents Merkel, Trump, Farage and others that you could get away with it and rely on the west being paralysed by political fuck fuck games.
It's simple - Russia does not have technology to extract and process its own oil. Why do you think they sell raw natural resources instead of processing and selling a more expensive product? They just can't do it.
Their oil extraction and refinery equipment and expertise is essentially all Western. No more spare parts or support = slow grinding down and it's just going to get worse
all other guys are morons. they HAVE enough oil, the answer is twofold, rouble is extremely weak so it's much more lucrative for people to buy all the gas at station and resell it across the border to Georgia and such, second one, everything is rerouting to Chyna so there's not enough capacity to bring enough fuel to Krasnodar/Crimea(and whatever is there is quickly bought and resold)

we're discussing current fuel shortages and it's happening not because Russia can't pump enough oil but because of
MOSCOW, Aug 31 (Reuters) - Russia, one of the world's biggest oil producers, has faced shortages of fuel crucial for gathering the harvest in some parts of its southern breadbasket and the situation may get worse in coming months, market sources told Reuters.
Traders said that the fuel market has been hit by a combination of different factors including maintenance at oil refineries, infrastructure bottlenecks on railways and the weaker rouble which incentivises fuel exports.
Russia has tried to tackle diesel and gasoline shortages over recent months, contemplating export curbs as the last-ditch attempt to prevent a serious fuel crisis - which is sensitive for the Kremlin ahead of a presidential election in March.
A government decision to cut subsidies for refineries is likely worsen the availability of fuel in the world's biggest grain exporter.
Regional oil product depots in Russia's southern regions have had to cut or even suspend fuel sales, while retail filling stations were forced to limit fuel sale volumes to customers.
"The Ai-92 gasoline is not available for retail sales in Krasnodar region, Adygea and Astrakhan, there is hardly any Ai-95 gasoline and diesel," a trader in Russia's south said.
Another trader said there have been no diesel sales at oil depots and there is no diesel on retail markets for the second week running in the whole Samara region, located in the Volga river region.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said on Wednesday that there were no fuel shortages.
But he also said government was working on measures to ensure a stable supply of it on the domestic market, including increasing levels of mandatory sales on exchanges and limiting the number of exporters.
(continued)
Traders said the shortages on the retail market followed by a sharp rise of wholesales prices. The state caps the retail prices, ordering the sellers to raise prices of gasoline and diesel only in line with official inflation.
Industry sources say the situation will improve no earlier than October when many oil refineries will wrap up their maintenance, while seasonal demand is expected to decline.
Some farmers also complained about scarcity of fuel.
"There are shortages of fuel ... oil products prices rose in the range of between 10% and 20%," Andrei Neduzhko, director general of agricultural holding Step said in written comments.
His company operates in Russia's southern regions of Rostov, Krasnodar and Stavropol. He said, however, there are no risks to the autumn sowing campaign for his holding.
Wholesale diesel prices started to sharply rise in July. For the past two months commodity exchange diesel prices jumped on average by more than a quarter to 67,000 roubles ($700) per ton.
(continued)
"We do not buy. The prices are crazy," an owner of a fuel depot said.
The energy ministry said last week that the volume of Russia's oil products output fully met current demand for fuel, taking into account the redirection of some gasoline and diesel exports to the domestic market as well as the use of stockpiles.
The energy ministry also was recommending earlier this month that oil companies find ways to curb wholesale fuel price rises in agricultural regions.
It has said in a statement that some supply issues had arisen due to high congestion on railways in southern Russia during the tourism season.
Russian Railways has said it was in discussions with oil producers, and were ready to solve the issues.
It also said in comments to Reuters that fuel supplies to southern regions via railways do not depend on an increase in passenger traffic.
"All requests for the transportation of fuel on domestic routes are given a priority ... and "almost 100% of all products are delivered on time," it said.

Fuel Holodomor lol. May even hit the agriculture and lead to real Holodomor! Also living WW2 Germany style in an oil nation Germans wanted for oil in the first place. I also remember stuff about how those arctic extraction facilities very heavily rely on western equipment and workers.
What is the Russian refining capacity? Can we find out how much is it West dependent? How much maintenance needed? I mean, we're finding out now, but proper info.
1. Reduction in extraction and refinement capacity due to loss of western tech
1.5 Loss of subsidy for refineries due to massive budget deficit
2. Fuel prices in Pucciq are not set by market, but under the control of Regional governors
3.bussines can't pass the rise of expenses on to the consumer cause ^
3. Fuel supplyers have no incentive to do bussines when they loose money on every liter
4. supplyers they their gas and run to the border where they can get fair market price, while gas stations for lack of fuel
Something very simmilar happened in Hungary when Orban order a moratorium on gas prices last year - Refinereies started exporting their products to Austria and Croatia, and gas stations closed down for lack of product
>A Hispanicier questions is whether there is any truth to the whining by regional governors and farmers in Russia proper

All the infrastructure was supported by Western companies, with sanctions in effect for a good 18+ months now the infrastructure will start to degrade was there are no more spare parts or the personnel with the skills to maintain said infrastructure.

Because most of those parts are tracked and monitored. If China is caught selling parts onwards to Russia, their entire aviation industry is gonna get bent over a barrel by Western producers because even with all their "Great Leaps Forward" they still can't make anything that flies without the West basically selling them all the parts to do it.
At most they can make shit-tier Russian based engines because they lack ALOT of the fundamental science to produce Western tier engine technology.

Parts have different failure rates. Some parts have to be replaced every few months - so you'll burn your reserves fast enough.
They are looking for alternatives - they've sent an airbus to Iran for maintenance 5 months ago (google://RA-73700). recent news: ETA 6 more months.

:
Some of the infrastructure was maintained by western companies that might have taken some liberties in interpreting the sanctions.
Then Russia fucked them over and decided to not pay them/pay in Rubles. Then they left.
I darkly remember some talk from one of the more deranged officials (a Duma representative maybe?) about taking the western workers hostages, but I might misremember. If that happened it didn't help either.

Another day another Russian military humiliation and 24 hours of catastrophic losses, really taking that old Russian military philosophy of completely ignoring losses to its limit this time.
>they exported it
Its not entirely true. Yes, there is no sanctions for fuel, so they sell it, but diesel and gas shortages in pidorashka go back to 90s.
Every single year, every single harvest season, russia experiencing fuel shortages. This year war adds more strain to crumbling logistics.
Proofs are rusmoron friends with relatives in administration (in the south).
I also didnt mention gas shortages due to HIMARSing.
This time last year Feint of Kharkiv just begun, HIMARS rampage peaked in August, so lack of ammunition depots was not that visible. This year there are no ammo and oil depots within 100km, this requiers more and more fuel.
Ironically, "Gas Station ruled by mafia" is not actually gas station, because they dont have that much refineries and sell raw oil.
How the fuck does that happen? I thought they couldn't sell oil fast enough on the international market. They should be in a glut of the stuff. India and China aren't even buying crude or diesel from Russia, they're buying crude.
>they're buying crude.
well, sanctions have had no effect, so everything is fine. I'm sure russian refineries can run at full capacity indefinitely without western parts or expertise.
Reposting from older thread because discussion is dead. Submarine that may have gotten blown up is tentatively ID'd B-237 Rostov-on-Don by Russian media sources, a 636.3 improved Kilo class (specific ID tentative, sat imagery seems to agree with the class ID at least). This is one of the newest submarine classes in the Russian fleet and its most capable diesel-electric submarine class. Now to my post from the other thread:
You know, thinking about it, 636.3s are technically speaking SSGs. I mean we call Whiskeys with 2 tubes strapped to their back SSGs, so why wouldn't a Kilo that can fire cruise missiles count as a SSG. I think that if it is indeed destroyed it would make it the first SSG ever destroyed due to enemy action.
By a country without a proper fleet.

It seems that the HUR shenanigans in the Black Sea that fucked the air defense and disabled/stole the radars from the oil rigs were preparations for the massive attack with Storm Shadows.
>Why would the Russians put vitally important air defenses on oil rigs without even a single mobik to defend them?
They probably didn't think that that one radar was vital, just really convenient to have at a stable point in the ocean.
They are under the delusion that the "real war" hasn't started, and this is a constrained Russia holding back. The truth is that Russia's real military is the small mobile 200,000 or so professional soldiers that they sent into Ukraine. The entire bulk of the Russian army is in fact fighting in Ukraine, which is why Wagner was able to just march to Moscow unopposed.
Personally, if I was Russian, I'd be pretty pissed off that Russia is wasting equipment and manpower by holding back instead of just decisively winning the war in 2 more weeks
But then again, these people are Indians not Russians
As a Russian I can assure you that if they turn off air defences around Moscow, the reactions will range from "it is what it is" in Moscow to "yeah they had it coming" that intensifies the further east you go from it.

There is a shortage of diesel fuel and diesel oil in Kuban - there is practically no fuel at gas stations, and you can buy it from "leftists" at triple the price
Residents of the Tbilisi district of the Krasnodar region have been complaining for a week about the lack or too little fuel at gas stations - 20 liters per hand, no more. This affects both motorists and farmers who need to harvest their crops. At gas stations, when locals ask about fuel availability problems, there are two answers: "I don't know" or "it's being bought up quickly."
"Ambulances also complain - there is nothing to refuel with. We have to buy fuel from "leftists" at a triple price - 60 rubles per liter. Before the shortage, they sold a little cheaper than gas stations, but now gas stations are empty. The question is about the 'purity' of the fuel, but there is no other way out, the harvest is coming soon," a concerned resident told Readovka.
Now in Krasnodar Krai agricultural work is in full swing - harvesting beets, sunflowers, corn. The consumption of diesel fuel during this period of the year is maximum, and how the Ministry of Energy is going to solve this problem is a question that remains unanswered. Nevertheless, it should also be noted that gasoline prices have increased by an average of 6.6% since the beginning of the year in the country. And such fuel shortages may be the reason for that very export priority. Ridovka writes.

Ropucha class landing ship Minsk, one that was destroyed today, is a Russian Baltic fleet ship. The Russian navy already was lacking compared to NATO in the Baltic Sea, but they still pulled ships from there into the Black Sea and are losing them.
>Terrorist attack
Look, I understand that it's propaganda speak, and part of their whole thing to not acknowledge Ukraine as a real country with a real army (calling soldiers militants instead). But really? They are warships during a time of war, how much more of a legitimate target can you get?
Like a preschooler hitting others, but when others hit back it is unjust. Just Russians being Russians, as they always have been. But now the world is seeing it all.
No, no you don't understand, hospitals and kindergartens are legitimate valuable military targets, undisciplined drunk rabble is a perfectly fine military force, there was no such thing as a march on the capital city by heavily armed forces not controlled by the government and megacorporations and governors did not begun to raise personal armies at all, no panic in russia, ass is in the ass as they say. Meanwhile kievan hunta is an illegitimate government and ucraina is cantry 404, not a real place, a failed state even, yes, obviously russia never lost a war so anything those pesky khokhols do is just prolonging suffering and therefore simply a terrorrism yes, da?
Maybe they should've called it an "anti-terrorism operation", if they really like calling the opponent's actions "terrorism". Wouldn't make it any less embarrassing, but at least they would've been consistent.
>russia says seven missiles were shot down >only two were shot down
why are they like this? don't they realize they just look more stupid when caught in the lie?
One of my best friends firmly believes that US forces are fighting in Ukraine (and losing), that Russia has 10000 more tanks ready to flood the country, that the Russian airforce is holding back, and that NATO aggression is the reason for the war. These are the people this shit is aimed at. This guy is a broadcast engineer. How you can be smart enough to do that but so fucking stupid in regards to propaganda is beyond me.
Being an expert in one thing doesn’t make you smart in everything.
My high school physics teacher is one of the smartest people I had ever met, and he believed the moon landing was bullshit lol.

The true test of how clever a person is, is how aware he is of his panel on the JoHari Window
>>many dead and friendly fire
The flames on the ship were waving at the pier
Rumours of saboteur infiltration during the attack caused the Russians to send out patrols, who shot at each other resulting in a handful of KIA and WIA
First missile was intercepted as planned, subsequently a smokescreen was deployed for camouflage and the ship deliberately listed to activate sloped armor mode for additional total protection. TOTAL POCCNR VICTORY
Is it me, or does the ship look like its front half is not aligned to the rest of the ship? The front part looks to be positioned vertically, but the rest is listing. Is it literally ripped in half?
You are all assholes. Mocking and joking about a terrible tragedy, never once stopping to think about the heartache - that given they're in drydock there are probably not very many dead Russians
Those landing ships were built close to half a century ago and nobody bothered to rename them since.
Also they were built in Poland so no way Russia has the facilities to rebuild them themselves.
Knowing Russians, they are going to ape out and retaliate in a nonproductive way. What will it be? > Launching another missile barrage on non-military targets? > Sending a new VDV column into a pointless land assault? > Ramming into civilian cargo ships in the Black Sea, shrugging and blaming the civilian ships?
I'm pretty sure the sub could launch Kalibr so taking one of them out even temporarily would mean less missiles are going to be launched. Also ukraine doesn't have a navy so the fight for even a balanced ground over the ocean for drones and aircraft is difficult so every little helps in that regard.
Yes this is a huge blow. The subs are used to attack Odessa while those landing ships have been used for cargo transportation since the start of the war. With the Crimean bridge constantly getting closed down for one reason or another Russia has been getting more and more reliant on naval supply lines.
And they will severely restrict russias naval power for the coming decades because they simply cannot build replacements for them. Destroying big parts of their fleet could for russia into negotiations.
It's embarrassing for the Russians, it's a great propaganda victory for Ukraine and Russia is already limited in its naval assets in the black sea, but that's mostly it. It'll mean Sevastopol needs more AA that would would otherwise be elsewhere, however both ships were in dry dock and not currently participating in the war. Short term, it doesn't change anything. Long term, it means one less ship that can bombard Ukraine so that's pretty good.
This is 1 of only 7 submarines in the Black Sea and it was only commissioned in 2014. Brand new by Russian Navy standards, and one of the platforms used to launch Kalibrs at Ukraine.
The Ropucha is less noteworthy but also represents a significant portion of the Black Sea Fleet's landing capability, as one of the largest available ships out of the 10 or so landing ships in the Black Sea.
Also the drydock is out of action until they can drag the wrecks out, which will have a knock on effect on the operations capability of the rest of the ships. If maintenance issues get really bad Russia will have no choice but to sail the ships out of the Black Sea for maintenance, permanently removing them from the conflict - they can't sail back in.
>does this attack even matter
Did it in spite of Musk yoinking Starlink coverage, and Kilo class subs are ~400 million dollars to make and years to build. Great return on investment.
Pretty sure they lost more landing ships by now. There was the one that got hit by a drone next to Novorossiysk and previously another that got tochka'd in Berdyansk.

People are talking about Kalibr missiles on Odessa, but an area the Russians have been really focused on recently is the Ukraine/Romania border, where lots of Uki grain moves through on trucks (bypassing the Russian blockade). They aim for the main river port in the area and try to disrupt freight transit.
This is why hitting the sub could be really useful.
How many dry docks does Russia have for the Black Sea fleet. An anon from an earlier thread said that was a more important target than either of those ships.
The US is richer than it has ever been in its history, it's current industrial sector is the msot productive in its history and corruption remains genuinely low outside of thirdie cope.
Wrong. Domestic US industry today is literally the most productive it has ever been. It just isn't such a big sector anymore because it's heavily automated and hence doesn't offer a lot of jobs anymore.
They seem pretty set on it being Storm Shadow or SCALP. Assuming it's true, this is a huge precedent.
Very convenient this precedent was set only days after a SHAHED crashed in Romania. Doesn't help this precedent another one crashed last night. 15km into Romania's border.

Since inception Russia has never had success at sea. When you really think about it, it all make since. Naval combat is the complete antithesis of large conscript meat walls from a ground war.
When you think about it, the only sea war russia won was Crimean War. 90% of veterans of that war are Ukrainians.
Russia lost the crimean war

Why bother bombing Blacked Z fleet when its mostly hiding in Novopocciyck anyways?
how do you know they are inoperable? ships don't usually have cancer
(your posts do)
no war ships can come or go from the black sea right now. Every ship taken out is one that can't launch missiles anymore, and is irreplaceable. I imagine it's easier to blow up stationary ones than ones at sea
>"why would you target stationary warships in dry dock, both preventing the use of the ships and dry docks?"
Gee anon, I wonder
what happens when they run out of fuel?
That's bullshit, but I believe it.
They get more. Unless they can't. If they can't then they won't have fuel.
Holy fuck a DIA analyst right here on PrepHole
It would be silly to assume that there wouldn't be any shortages eventually. Even US with its massive oil reserves had to ration fuel during WW2.
the US had like 60 aircraft carriers then. And it all ramps up from there.
>Even US with its massive oil reserves had to ration fuel during WW2.
The US was also fuelling Great Britain, Australia, and the Soviet Union. WW2 was won by the Odessa (Texas) oil fields.

You can remain at "just four more days" indefinitely until supply is disrupted.
A Hispanicier questions is whether there is any truth to the whining by regional governors and farmers in Russia proper - they are complaining that the harvest is already impacted by fuel shortages.
>A Hispanicier questions is whether there is any truth to the whining by regional governors and farmers in Russia proper
Bro, fucking ambulances have to buy petrol at black market because there's not enough of it at gas stations in South of Russia
How the fuck does that happen? I thought they couldn't sell oil fast enough on the international market. They should be in a glut of the stuff. India and China aren't even buying crude or diesel from Russia, they're buying crude.
Gasoline or diesel*
Russians are incapable of pumping their own fuel, so American companies do that for them
same with minerals but the companies are Canadian
>Russians are incapable of pumping their own fuel, so American companies do that for them
why would you start a war with Ze Ebil West when you can't even produce your own fuel without the said West
"we are fighting NATO" is for domestic consumption only
they hoped for the 2014 scenario where they can sack more land effortlessly (remember OMON trucks getting bambozzled on their way to Kiyv full of riot gear)
Imagine if russia was actually fighting NATO, there would be no russian ships left after the first week
I'm uneducated and it hasn't come up in this war for obvious reasons: What anti ship systems does the USA have? I'm gonna guess it's mostly missiles, both ship and plane launched?
>why would you start a war with Ze Ebil West when you can't even produce your own fuel without the said West
Vast, massive hubris as well as believing that because of your agents Merkel, Trump, Farage and others that you could get away with it and rely on the west being paralysed by political fuck fuck games.
It's simple - Russia does not have technology to extract and process its own oil. Why do you think they sell raw natural resources instead of processing and selling a more expensive product? They just can't do it.
Sanctions + Russians being retarded
Their oil extraction and refinery equipment and expertise is essentially all Western. No more spare parts or support = slow grinding down and it's just going to get worse
Because they are unable to do the complicated process of refining shit into usable resources.
all other guys are morons. they HAVE enough oil, the answer is twofold, rouble is extremely weak so it's much more lucrative for people to buy all the gas at station and resell it across the border to Georgia and such, second one, everything is rerouting to Chyna so there's not enough capacity to bring enough fuel to Krasnodar/Crimea(and whatever is there is quickly bought and resold)
post Russian oil drilling technology, boss
i can wait
we're discussing current fuel shortages and it's happening not because Russia can't pump enough oil but because of
it's literally in the first lines, retard
>hit by a combination of different factors including maintenance at oil refineries, infrastructure bottlenecks on railways
Russia can't pump oil
oil refineries refine oil to petrol, they don't pump oil. Are you sub 70 IQ moron?
ok, Russia can't refine fuels
is that better for you retard? does that change the fact Russia is medieval tech tier?
They can though. There are several soviet factories and 1 or 2 new ones
yes, they are very soviet when only the concrete slab was from that era, and everything else is literally made outside of Russia
Outside of Russia still means it could have been made in the Soviet Union! For example, in Ukraine :^)
Wasn't it a fact that they literally can't frack?
>oil

>is liquid
MOSCOW, Aug 31 (Reuters) - Russia, one of the world's biggest oil producers, has faced shortages of fuel crucial for gathering the harvest in some parts of its southern breadbasket and the situation may get worse in coming months, market sources told Reuters.
Traders said that the fuel market has been hit by a combination of different factors including maintenance at oil refineries, infrastructure bottlenecks on railways and the weaker rouble which incentivises fuel exports.
Russia has tried to tackle diesel and gasoline shortages over recent months, contemplating export curbs as the last-ditch attempt to prevent a serious fuel crisis - which is sensitive for the Kremlin ahead of a presidential election in March.
A government decision to cut subsidies for refineries is likely worsen the availability of fuel in the world's biggest grain exporter.
Regional oil product depots in Russia's southern regions have had to cut or even suspend fuel sales, while retail filling stations were forced to limit fuel sale volumes to customers.
"The Ai-92 gasoline is not available for retail sales in Krasnodar region, Adygea and Astrakhan, there is hardly any Ai-95 gasoline and diesel," a trader in Russia's south said.
Another trader said there have been no diesel sales at oil depots and there is no diesel on retail markets for the second week running in the whole Samara region, located in the Volga river region.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said on Wednesday that there were no fuel shortages.
But he also said government was working on measures to ensure a stable supply of it on the domestic market, including increasing levels of mandatory sales on exchanges and limiting the number of exporters.
(continued)
Traders said the shortages on the retail market followed by a sharp rise of wholesales prices. The state caps the retail prices, ordering the sellers to raise prices of gasoline and diesel only in line with official inflation.
Industry sources say the situation will improve no earlier than October when many oil refineries will wrap up their maintenance, while seasonal demand is expected to decline.
Some farmers also complained about scarcity of fuel.
"There are shortages of fuel ... oil products prices rose in the range of between 10% and 20%," Andrei Neduzhko, director general of agricultural holding Step said in written comments.
His company operates in Russia's southern regions of Rostov, Krasnodar and Stavropol. He said, however, there are no risks to the autumn sowing campaign for his holding.
Wholesale diesel prices started to sharply rise in July. For the past two months commodity exchange diesel prices jumped on average by more than a quarter to 67,000 roubles ($700) per ton.
(continued)
"We do not buy. The prices are crazy," an owner of a fuel depot said.
The energy ministry said last week that the volume of Russia's oil products output fully met current demand for fuel, taking into account the redirection of some gasoline and diesel exports to the domestic market as well as the use of stockpiles.
The energy ministry also was recommending earlier this month that oil companies find ways to curb wholesale fuel price rises in agricultural regions.
It has said in a statement that some supply issues had arisen due to high congestion on railways in southern Russia during the tourism season.
Russian Railways has said it was in discussions with oil producers, and were ready to solve the issues.
It also said in comments to Reuters that fuel supplies to southern regions via railways do not depend on an increase in passenger traffic.
"All requests for the transportation of fuel on domestic routes are given a priority ... and "almost 100% of all products are delivered on time," it said.
END
But is there enough fuel for the megayachts of Putin's gangster billionaire oligarch friends? Is there enough Russian poor to conscript and sacrifice for his selfish war?
Because the farmer is trying to ship his grain and feed the nation, not genocide Ukrainians for oligarchs, oil, and war profits.
The yacht have mostly all been taken. Two(!!) are being held off the Italian coasts completely empty.
I am not a philosopher, just some guy trying to answer a question about Russian domestic petrol problems.
>said last week that the volume of Russia's oil products output fully met current demand for fuel, taking into account the redirection of some gasoline and diesel exports to the domestic market as well as the use of stockpiles
Russians discover supply and demand.
>Russia's oil products output fully met current demand for fuel, taking into account the redirection of some gasoline and diesel exports to the domestic market as well as the use of stockpiles.
Stockpiles count as "output"?
It worked for Biden.
US is rich, has an industry and is relatively free of corruption.
> Verification not required.
I don't remember them claiming it was new production.
>Industry sources say the situation will improve no earlier than October when many oil refineries will wrap up their maintenance
I suppose we should be expecting Ukrainian strikes on refineries in western Russia at some point in October, then
I guess this is what my old man meant when he said "at least you HAVE fuel" when I told him about the ayrabs hiking fuel prices up
Muta NO
People have griped about us unfreeezing 6bil in frozen Iranian funds but it could be a step towards getting Iran's oil on the market to undercut both the Saudis and Russia.
Imagine if there was no Islamist revolution in Iran...
Or if they hadn't immediately chimped out and stormed our embassy.
Amazing. I am so pleased to learn this. Things are accelerating and the Kremlin i going to have to bleed more money to subsidize fuel. It's going to strangle all of the wage increases and eat at profits from exporting other commodities.

That made me laugh so hard after i watched yesterday how Armatard tried to tell everyone Russia can produce 1000 new tanks per year at this very moment.
>Traders said that the fuel market has been hit by a combination of different factors including maintenance at oil refineries, infrastructure bottlenecks on railways and the weaker rouble which incentivises fuel exports.
Fuel Holodomor lol. May even hit the agriculture and lead to real Holodomor! Also living WW2 Germany style in an oil nation Germans wanted for oil in the first place. I also remember stuff about how those arctic extraction facilities very heavily rely on western equipment and workers.
What is the Russian refining capacity? Can we find out how much is it West dependent? How much maintenance needed? I mean, we're finding out now, but proper info.
Probably a lack of working refineries,they do have enough crude but they can‘t use that it cars.
Is simple, just make car run on crude! Rugged Russian engineering wins again!
Every Lada will smoke like Special K
1. Reduction in extraction and refinement capacity due to loss of western tech
1.5 Loss of subsidy for refineries due to massive budget deficit
2. Fuel prices in Pucciq are not set by market, but under the control of Regional governors
3.bussines can't pass the rise of expenses on to the consumer cause ^
3. Fuel supplyers have no incentive to do bussines when they loose money on every liter
4. supplyers they their gas and run to the border where they can get fair market price, while gas stations for lack of fuel
Something very simmilar happened in Hungary when Orban order a moratorium on gas prices last year - Refinereies started exporting their products to Austria and Croatia, and gas stations closed down for lack of product
How much of a failure of petrostate you must be to have fuel shortages...
Poccnr....
Venezuela.
>world's largest oil exporter
>fuel shortages
Explain.
Russia was also the world's largest grain exporter but that never stopped the Russian Empire or Soviet Union from having famines on the regular.
Oil=/=fuel
All the infrastructure was supported by Western companies, with sanctions in effect for a good 18+ months now the infrastructure will start to degrade was there are no more spare parts or the personnel with the skills to maintain said infrastructure.
Pic related, its only a matter of time now before there is a major air disaster because they no longer have the support to maintain various Airbus and Boeing aircraft.
China sells them parts and helps maintain fuel export.
No mate, these parts are not produced in china.
Why can't China just buy from Europe and sell to russia for cheap oil?
Because Europeans would notice pretty fast that China is buying parts for equipment they don't even have in their country. This would ruin their lucrative trade relationship with the West which is far more important to them.
>for cheap oil
Putin is already giving them cheap oil in return for Chinese cars and basic commodities.
Because most of those parts are tracked and monitored. If China is caught selling parts onwards to Russia, their entire aviation industry is gonna get bent over a barrel by Western producers because even with all their "Great Leaps Forward" they still can't make anything that flies without the West basically selling them all the parts to do it.
At most they can make shit-tier Russian based engines because they lack ALOT of the fundamental science to produce Western tier engine technology. Fuck,t he bongs have metallurgy for the fans alone that China wont be able to copy for decades because their entire metallurgy business is a joke thanks to corruption.
just think fo the maiden flight of their new "domestic" airliner that they had to turn into a one way trip because of "no reason given"
I fucking had a good laugh over the "domestic" label when literally 80% of the plane is just important Western tech.
These are not sold in bulk. These are extreemly controlled by the manufacturer. So when you report this part is worn out you get a new one. I think they take the old one.
Exactly this, its to stop this very scenario happening of someone 'refurbishing' the faulty part and selling it to a thirdie shithole to bypass sanctions.
And to find out what happened to it, how broken it is, why it broke, etc.
That way some accidents are prevented by replacing parts that might still be good but are expected to break after a certain time.
A lot of the good ones get refurbished and put back into service.
That concept is unknown to Russia or China, accidents are to be covered up by officials.
>disaster because they no longer have the support to maintain various Airbus and Boeing aircraft.
Russians repurposed half of the leasing airliners they stole to be dedicated parts donors. It would take many years before they run out of parts.
>Russians repurposed half of the leasing airliners they stole to be dedicated parts donors. It would take many years before they run out of parts.
Parts have different failure rates. Some parts have to be replaced every few months - so you'll burn your reserves fast enough.
They are looking for alternatives - they've sent an airbus to Iran for maintenance 5 months ago (google://RA-73700). recent news: ETA 6 more months.

>world's largest oil exporter
Says who
Anyway crude petroleum =/= usable distillates
Adding to
:
Some of the infrastructure was maintained by western companies that might have taken some liberties in interpreting the sanctions.
Then Russia fucked them over and decided to not pay them/pay in Rubles. Then they left.
I darkly remember some talk from one of the more deranged officials (a Duma representative maybe?) about taking the western workers hostages, but I might misremember. If that happened it didn't help either.
Tractors don't run on crude oil
Diesel tractors do.
Doesn't the kerch straight bridge have a natural gas pipeline? Not really consequential anyways If the crimeans make another fuss the russians will just give them more free money like was done to compensate for ukraine cutting off their water supply.
Natural gas is a bit difficult to keep in a normal gas/diesel tank.
So, if that isn't disrupted by then they might not freeze to death this winter.
Russia is running out of fuel, they exported it all for hard currency and now are having fuel shortages that mean they cannot complete their harvest in the southern regions
https://www.reuters.com/article/russia-grains-fuels-idUKL8N3AI3RN
Russia, one of the world's biggest oil producers, has faced shortages of fuel crucial for gathering the harvest in some parts of its southern breadbasket and the situation may get worse in coming months, according to market sources.7 days ago
Another day another Russian military humiliation and 24 hours of catastrophic losses, really taking that old Russian military philosophy of completely ignoring losses to its limit this time.
>they exported it
Its not entirely true. Yes, there is no sanctions for fuel, so they sell it, but diesel and gas shortages in pidorashka go back to 90s.
Every single year, every single harvest season, russia experiencing fuel shortages. This year war adds more strain to crumbling logistics.
Proofs?
Proofs are rusmoron friends with relatives in administration (in the south).
I also didnt mention gas shortages due to HIMARSing.
This time last year Feint of Kharkiv just begun, HIMARS rampage peaked in August, so lack of ammunition depots was not that visible. This year there are no ammo and oil depots within 100km, this requiers more and more fuel.
Ironically, "Gas Station ruled by mafia" is not actually gas station, because they dont have that much refineries and sell raw oil.
Can't wait for that delicious +2 boats tomorrow
If the current trend continues we could see more than 5000 destroyed tanks before day 600 of the special needs operation.

well, sanctions have had no effect, so everything is fine. I'm sure russian refineries can run at full capacity indefinitely without western parts or expertise.

Submarine AND landing ship. Ropucha was there as well.
Now Ropucha here, and there, and over there, and some by that tree
Reposting from older thread because discussion is dead. Submarine that may have gotten blown up is tentatively ID'd B-237 Rostov-on-Don by Russian media sources, a 636.3 improved Kilo class (specific ID tentative, sat imagery seems to agree with the class ID at least). This is one of the newest submarine classes in the Russian fleet and its most capable diesel-electric submarine class. Now to my post from the other thread:
You know, thinking about it, 636.3s are technically speaking SSGs. I mean we call Whiskeys with 2 tubes strapped to their back SSGs, so why wouldn't a Kilo that can fire cruise missiles count as a SSG. I think that if it is indeed destroyed it would make it the first SSG ever destroyed due to enemy action.
By a country without a proper fleet.
Ring up another world record for the Russian Black Sea Fleet.
That would be fucking funny. I propose that we classify it a SSG just to fuck with russhits.
>the cutting edge Russian SSGK
Kek, Ukraine needs to get a navy after all this is over. I mean imagine the seethe, of russian fleet knowing they got sodomized before Ukies got a navy.

Well, Ivan Mazepa is supposed to be ready next year, and Sahaidachnyi is also on the way. Hopefully no other new ships are planned to be fielded and navy returns to the mosquito fleet development strategy.

Oh, I meant Skoropadskyi, Sahaidachnyi was dead in the water even before scuttling.

Su-24 actually. And it's too big for Mig-29

It implies decoys. Like the ones they launch with the missiles you know….
>7 out of 10 shot down
> russian mod said so
give it to me straight. why do retards continue to buy shit said by the russian government after more than 500 days of the special manlets operation. i mean we've seen all sorts of lies, from "we will never invade ukraine" to "moskva is fine" to "there was only slight damage at saki airfield". and much more. and yet you retards still continue to believe them. literal NPCs.
he is shill not npc he knows exactly what he is doing

The ass is in the ass and the plywood marshal will have to stop counting eggs and raise his eyebrow lest the rest of the fleet goes to moskva.
Russia is gonna freeze this winter
How the turn tables.
Projection all the way down. I wonder if anyone's going to eat their pet hamster, like that German propaganda flick.
It was a russian propaganda flick you shitstained pajeet.
SIR DO NOT REDEEM
You guys remember when every winter they used to post how many people had frozen to death in Moscow?
Yeah

More air defences and radars getting smacked followed by another round of ships getting droned through the new holes in Russian sea defence.
yawn. same old same old.
ukraine should nuke moscow in the next season or i'm dropping this show.
>nuke moscow
With what nuke? They couldn't even launch offensive properly.
The commander of the Ukrainian Air Force "thanked the pilots for their combat work".
https://t.me/MykolaOleshchuk/127
It seems that the HUR shenanigans in the Black Sea that fucked the air defense and disabled/stole the radars from the oil rigs were preparations for the massive attack with Storm Shadows.
Why would the Russians put vitally important air defenses on oil rigs without even a single mobik to defend them?
Based
>Why would the Russians put vitally important air defenses on oil rigs
they didn't, they placed them in Crimea(it didn't help)
>Why would the Russians put vitally important air defenses on oil rigs without even a single mobik to defend them?
They probably didn't think that that one radar was vital, just really convenient to have at a stable point in the ocean.
I think they had some kind of forward radars on those rigs that HUR removed.
all is well, Puccia just employs Pearl Harbor strategy
I can't tell the difference between genuine retards and propagandists anymore.
Here’s a tip
They’re the same people
>I can't tell the difference between genuine retards and propagandists anymore.
Someone send this hot tip up the chain of command, the Russians will love it. It's gonna work like a charm.
How the previous bombings of moscow didn't justify mobilization, but that attacks on military targets during a war will is rather fascinating to me.
They are under the delusion that the "real war" hasn't started, and this is a constrained Russia holding back. The truth is that Russia's real military is the small mobile 200,000 or so professional soldiers that they sent into Ukraine. The entire bulk of the Russian army is in fact fighting in Ukraine, which is why Wagner was able to just march to Moscow unopposed.
>Wagner was able to just march to Moscow unopposed.
Literally never happened. What is with NAFO and their fan fictions?
They made it pretty far.
Haven't you read what he said? It never happened, it was all a fantasy of some deranged Twitter-cunts.
They even produced high quality photoshops like picrel
Personally, if I was Russian, I'd be pretty pissed off that Russia is wasting equipment and manpower by holding back instead of just decisively winning the war in 2 more weeks
But then again, these people are Indians not Russians
>How the previous bombings of moscow didn't justify mobilization
https://archive.4plebs.org/pol/search/text/justify%20mobilization/
As a Russian I can assure you that if they turn off air defences around Moscow, the reactions will range from "it is what it is" in Moscow to "yeah they had it coming" that intensifies the further east you go from it.
>that intensifies the further east you go from it.
None will cheer more than residents of Shebekino
Hahaha we got them right where we want them. Another nuke and the groves come off!
Redpilled? You fucking moron. The only redpill you've taken is the giant rectal suppository made in the kremlin and distributed on rt, sputnik, ats, glp 4chan and /leftypol/ etc you've rammed up your ass. Muh qanon. Traitorpill more like.
Stalin ordered the Communist Party USA to disband in order to infiltrate/converge the Democrats mid-WW2. Clan tier vestigial LARP club is there to distract from POTUS (and Billary, and Gore) being bankrolled by that party's founder's son (Armand Hammer) and another verified Soviet asset Leo Slizard (personal friend of VI Lenin). But of course it's literal 1940s cartoon villains that are the problem and 'McCarthyism'. That a film like Oppenheimer can make nearly a billion while lying by omission tells the tale.
Anon you don't have to be this mad because your bait was called out. Just try again.

Something doesn't add up here.
ITS OGRE
There is a shortage of diesel fuel and diesel oil in Kuban - there is practically no fuel at gas stations, and you can buy it from "leftists" at triple the price
Residents of the Tbilisi district of the Krasnodar region have been complaining for a week about the lack or too little fuel at gas stations - 20 liters per hand, no more. This affects both motorists and farmers who need to harvest their crops. At gas stations, when locals ask about fuel availability problems, there are two answers: "I don't know" or "it's being bought up quickly."
"Ambulances also complain - there is nothing to refuel with. We have to buy fuel from "leftists" at a triple price - 60 rubles per liter. Before the shortage, they sold a little cheaper than gas stations, but now gas stations are empty. The question is about the 'purity' of the fuel, but there is no other way out, the harvest is coming soon," a concerned resident told Readovka.
Now in Krasnodar Krai agricultural work is in full swing - harvesting beets, sunflowers, corn. The consumption of diesel fuel during this period of the year is maximum, and how the Ministry of Energy is going to solve this problem is a question that remains unanswered. Nevertheless, it should also be noted that gasoline prices have increased by an average of 6.6% since the beginning of the year in the country. And such fuel shortages may be the reason for that very export priority. Ridovka writes.

>Tbilisi
That's bullshit. Tbilisi isn't in Russia it's the capital of Georgia.
That's a google translate error. Check the source, it says "Tбилиccкoгo"
If you google that, it leads to this article https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A2%D0%B1%D0%B8%D0%BB%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%B9_%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%BE%D0%BD
And the English version of that article is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tbilissky_District
t. can't read Cyrillic and still figured that out
Its proper translation.
That's bullshit. Atlanta is the capital of Georgia
jej
>leftists
What does this mean in this context? Clearly black marketeers but why call them that?
Its slang for random private individuals. Kind of means unknown and untrusted. Like buying of craigslist, would mean buying from leftist
I wonder if they were okay with spending a few Storm Shadows/SCALP on this target because they know ATACMS are coming.
Ropucha class landing ship Minsk, one that was destroyed today, is a Russian Baltic fleet ship. The Russian navy already was lacking compared to NATO in the Baltic Sea, but they still pulled ships from there into the Black Sea and are losing them.
>Terrorist attack
Look, I understand that it's propaganda speak, and part of their whole thing to not acknowledge Ukraine as a real country with a real army (calling soldiers militants instead). But really? They are warships during a time of war, how much more of a legitimate target can you get?
Like a preschooler hitting others, but when others hit back it is unjust. Just Russians being Russians, as they always have been. But now the world is seeing it all.
No, no you don't understand, hospitals and kindergartens are legitimate valuable military targets, undisciplined drunk rabble is a perfectly fine military force, there was no such thing as a march on the capital city by heavily armed forces not controlled by the government and megacorporations and governors did not begun to raise personal armies at all, no panic in russia, ass is in the ass as they say. Meanwhile kievan hunta is an illegitimate government and ucraina is cantry 404, not a real place, a failed state even, yes, obviously russia never lost a war so anything those pesky khokhols do is just prolonging suffering and therefore simply a terrorrism yes, da?
Virtually every hit on Russia has been labelled a "terrorist attack" including when they hit those bombers on the airfield.
Maybe they should've called it an "anti-terrorism operation", if they really like calling the opponent's actions "terrorism". Wouldn't make it any less embarrassing, but at least they would've been consistent.
>anti-terrorism operation
That's what they called the Chechen wars, actually.
>russia says seven missiles were shot down
>only two were shot down
why are they like this? don't they realize they just look more stupid when caught in the lie?
One of my best friends firmly believes that US forces are fighting in Ukraine (and losing), that Russia has 10000 more tanks ready to flood the country, that the Russian airforce is holding back, and that NATO aggression is the reason for the war. These are the people this shit is aimed at. This guy is a broadcast engineer. How you can be smart enough to do that but so fucking stupid in regards to propaganda is beyond me.
Being an expert in one thing doesn’t make you smart in everything.
My high school physics teacher is one of the smartest people I had ever met, and he believed the moon landing was bullshit lol.
The true test of how clever a person is, is how aware he is of his panel on the JoHari Window
They have lied 10000 times, what's one more lie?
>Russia lost a sub
Based. I was hoping this'll happen.
Imagine if someone posted this 4 years ago on PrepHole. Hed be labeled delusional.
try 24 years ago, before Kursk
>many dead and friendly fire
What did they mean by this?
>>many dead and friendly fire
The flames on the ship were waving at the pier
>What did they mean by this?
Rumours of saboteur infiltration during the attack caused the Russians to send out patrols, who shot at each other resulting in a handful of KIA and WIA
someone with telegram needs to spread rumors that kids are being used as saboteurs so russians start rounding up their kids
Russian kids are beaten and raped enough even before being fingered as saboteurs
They were subsequently attacked by Japanese torpedo boats and had to defend themselves
>russian cops vs russian soldiers
>cops win with 1 KIA while 3 soldiers were killed
looooooooool
>in addition to this, two more ships were damaged.
Nice, they got four ships. Any info on what the two not-quite-fucked ships are?
Looks like the landing ship is fucked.
ak725 cannon looks fine, they can put it on mt-lb now
Tis but a scratch
>holy shit total superstructure death
yeah. this is going straight to the scrapyard
I see no difference. Is that a pic after hit for certain?
Ship has taken on deliberate list to reduce radar cross section, under its own power. Try harder next time, kholkhols
First missile was intercepted as planned, subsequently a smokescreen was deployed for camouflage and the ship deliberately listed to activate sloped armor mode for additional total protection. TOTAL POCCNR VICTORY
Hahaha impressive
The landing ship has returned to sea under its own power.
Is it me, or does the ship look like its front half is not aligned to the rest of the ship? The front part looks to be positioned vertically, but the rest is listing. Is it literally ripped in half?
So, are you saying that the front fell off?
>So, are you saying that the front fell off?
Well the front fell off in this case, by all means, but it's very unusual.
#
>I see no difference
>front half of the ship and rear half pointing in two different directions
Tis but a scratch. The Mighty Minsk will lead an amphibious landing in Odessa under its own power.
>Position of the superstructure and mast relative to hull are 30 degrees off in the top picture.
Da. Ship is fine.
>Back half listing
>Front half isn't
Kek
it's fully intact
I believe you comrade
>Superstructure rusted from fire-accelerated oxidation
It's done for
Looks like it returned to port under its own power. Decadent w*ctoid crapitalist trannies btfo yet again.
the ship will be fully restored comrade
they're already at a shipyard where they arrived under their own power prioir to the attack
>molten funnel and entire superstructure literally vaporized
just a bit banged up, calm down
That'll buff right out, US ships look worse when they were a few days at sea.
>Verification not required.
I posted without hitting F5, like the newfag I was eighteen years ago
You are all assholes. Mocking and joking about a terrible tragedy, never once stopping to think about the heartache - that given they're in drydock there are probably not very many dead Russians
If only the sub had been at sea and hit with a depth charge!
Had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
Wait, so khokols firat drowned Moskva and now it's Minsk? Oi lmao.
Why is there is a Russian ship named after a foreign capital city? That's would be like a USS London or a HMS Paris?
Those landing ships were built close to half a century ago and nobody bothered to rename them since.
Also they were built in Poland so no way Russia has the facilities to rebuild them themselves.
knowing the Russian navy any attempt at changing something on a ship would result in something catastrophic
Knowing Russians, they are going to ape out and retaliate in a nonproductive way. What will it be?
> Launching another missile barrage on non-military targets?
> Sending a new VDV column into a pointless land assault?
> Ramming into civilian cargo ships in the Black Sea, shrugging and blaming the civilian ships?
retard here: does this attack even matter? i mean, it's not like these ships were manning the trenches
Less missile launching platforms to fuck with Odessa.
Kilo submarines launch kalibr missiles
I'm pretty sure the sub could launch Kalibr so taking one of them out even temporarily would mean less missiles are going to be launched. Also ukraine doesn't have a navy so the fight for even a balanced ground over the ocean for drones and aircraft is difficult so every little helps in that regard.
who wants to sail back out on the damaged Russian submarine? i don't see any hands!
Yes this is a huge blow. The subs are used to attack Odessa while those landing ships have been used for cargo transportation since the start of the war. With the Crimean bridge constantly getting closed down for one reason or another Russia has been getting more and more reliant on naval supply lines.
And they will severely restrict russias naval power for the coming decades because they simply cannot build replacements for them. Destroying big parts of their fleet could for russia into negotiations.
Doesn't it also depend on how heavily damaged the docks are? Dry docks aren't a common commodity in Russia.
Yes but they're on track to lose this dry dock anyway but they could've kept the ship and the sub.
It's embarrassing for the Russians, it's a great propaganda victory for Ukraine and Russia is already limited in its naval assets in the black sea, but that's mostly it. It'll mean Sevastopol needs more AA that would would otherwise be elsewhere, however both ships were in dry dock and not currently participating in the war. Short term, it doesn't change anything. Long term, it means one less ship that can bombard Ukraine so that's pretty good.
They have 3 left that can launch cruis missiles
This is 1 of only 7 submarines in the Black Sea and it was only commissioned in 2014. Brand new by Russian Navy standards, and one of the platforms used to launch Kalibrs at Ukraine.
The Ropucha is less noteworthy but also represents a significant portion of the Black Sea Fleet's landing capability, as one of the largest available ships out of the 10 or so landing ships in the Black Sea.
Also the drydock is out of action until they can drag the wrecks out, which will have a knock on effect on the operations capability of the rest of the ships. If maintenance issues get really bad Russia will have no choice but to sail the ships out of the Black Sea for maintenance, permanently removing them from the conflict - they can't sail back in.
And then there's the other two ships they mentioned as getting fucked up in a repairable fashion.
>does this attack even matter
Did it in spite of Musk yoinking Starlink coverage, and Kilo class subs are ~400 million dollars to make and years to build. Great return on investment.
It doesn't matter at all, stupid khohols just waste western munitions to show their masters that they do something, but SMO is going without a hitch.
>we didn't NEED a black sea fleet ANYWAYS
They are bitter. I think they should be bombed some more
Thats some good copium holy fuck
+ dry dock fucked this is even more important.
It's like two birds with one rocket
> One in two men in Russia will be given a rifle
And the ones without follow the men with the rifle?
We ran out of bullets sorry.
Essen and Makarov are active again
Pretty sure they lost more landing ships by now. There was the one that got hit by a drone next to Novorossiysk and previously another that got tochka'd in Berdyansk.
Orks is dead too I think
we all know what happens when they receive f16s with anti-ship missiles right
>"HOHOLS could be here" he thought, "I've never been in this neighbourhood before. There could be HOHOLS anywhere." The cool wind felt good against his bare asscheeks. "I HATE HOHOLSS" he thought. His officers cock reverberated his entire ass, making it pulsate even as the Krokodil circulated through his powerful thick veins and washed away his (merited) fear of hohols after dark. "With a mosin, you can shoot hohols " he said to himself, out loud.
>a shootout between a military patrol and cops
>3 soldiers dead
>1 policeman
the absolute state of russian soldiers
People are talking about Kalibr missiles on Odessa, but an area the Russians have been really focused on recently is the Ukraine/Romania border, where lots of Uki grain moves through on trucks (bypassing the Russian blockade). They aim for the main river port in the area and try to disrupt freight transit.
This is why hitting the sub could be really useful.
Yeah they've been hitting Izmail pretty hard the last couple of weeks.
Are there any pictures of the Kilo?
How many dry docks does Russia have for the Black Sea fleet. An anon from an earlier thread said that was a more important target than either of those ships.
unrelated, does anyone have that reaction image of the ghoul pole that is happy at least the Russians were nuked as well? Fucking lost it somehow
Eddie is the only sane russhit apparently
>We should launch a counterforce strike on the US.
>Surely, that will not have any negative consequences for Russia.
BUDANOV'D
The US is richer than it has ever been in its history, it's current industrial sector is the msot productive in its history and corruption remains genuinely low outside of thirdie cope.
>it's current industrial sector...
...is in China, which is a bit awkward given the current geopolitical situation. But thanks for playing, chud.
Wrong. Domestic US industry today is literally the most productive it has ever been. It just isn't such a big sector anymore because it's heavily automated and hence doesn't offer a lot of jobs anymore.
They seem pretty set on it being Storm Shadow or SCALP. Assuming it's true, this is a huge precedent.
Very convenient this precedent was set only days after a SHAHED crashed in Romania. Doesn't help this precedent another one crashed last night. 15km into Romania's border.
Only Russia could aim at a city and miss.
>Only Russia could aim at a city and hit an entirely different country.
ftfy.
Ffs. Shadeds have GPS and INS guidance. How the hell did it wind up 15km inside Romania?
Romanians are a bunch of fucking pussies, they should have massed AA in the danube area and shoot down any russian shit that even comes closes.
.t romanian
Sad, but true.
t. tot român.
GLORIOUS POCCNR
no sat photos yet?
It's all fucked and brown.
ah, so it was an indian sub?
Isn't there supposed to be a third dry dock in Sevastopol?
It's on the north side of the bay.
What comical countermeasures will the Russians deploy to protect it?
