On Friday night into Saturday, there was also a fire at an oil depot in the Oryol region, which was the result of a Ukrainian army drone attack. The general staff of the Ukrainian armed forces highlighted that the attacked facility is one of Russia's largest oil storage sites, crucial for the Russian military-industrial complex.
Earlier, Ukrainian intelligence reported the death of a Russian designer involved in creating missiles and drones used against Ukraine. Mikhail Shatski, deputy chief designer of the Mars Design Bureau, was killed in Moscow. Ukrainian media indicated that it was an assassination.
The destruction of the Su-30 aircraft, along with the attacks on railway infrastructure and oil depots, are elements of a broader Ukrainian strategy. Ukrainian intelligence emphasizes that these actions aim to weaken Russian military and industrial infrastructure. This task is significant in the context of the ongoing conflict.
According to information provided by HUR, these attacks aim not only to directly weaken Russian military capabilities but also to disrupt logistics and supplies to the Russian army.
