2025-01-10 0

Breaking news from the Russia-Ukraine warfront! Ukraine's long-range drone strike has dealt a critical blow to Russia’s military operations, targeting the Kristall oil depot, a vital fuel storage facility near the Engels Air Base.

Key Target:

Kristall depot supplies T-8V fuel, crucial for powering Russia's Tu-160 White Swan strategic bombers.
Impact on Russian Airpower:

Without this specialized high-density fuel, Russia’s Tu-160 fleet—already sparingly used—could be grounded entirely.
Recent footage shows massive fires at the depot. If T-8V supplies were destroyed, Russia’s strategic bombing capabilities face serious setbacks.
Symbolic & Tactical Win for Ukraine:

This daring strike disrupts Russian air logistics, targeting the backbone of its long-range bomber fleet.
The Tu-160 bombers last saw action in November 2024 after a 550-day hiatus, reflecting their limited operational availability.
This strike isn’t just about military tactics—it’s a message of resilience and precision. Stay tuned as we bring you updates on this developing story.
