Strike in the Armed Forces on Lukoil plant: Russia will lose tens of billions of dollars but it's not all

Huge losses for Russia, the turns of inflation, a sharp rise in gasoline prices - such consequences are drawn by blogger Ivan Yakovin for the NPZ in KSTOVA after the impact of Ukrainian drones. And all because it is not a simple plant, but the best aggressor country. The huge fire is at the Lukoil oil refinery with a short and clear name "Nizhny Novgorodnefteorgsynthesis" in KSTOV. It is the fourth in volume of fuel production plant in the Russian Federation, while the state of time.

It is there that they produce a large proportion of the highest quality gasoline, in particular-the 98th. Equipment installed in KSTOV - is truly unique for Russia. As part of a deep modernization 15 years ago, an American complex of catalytic cracking was launched there, which started production of car gasoline standard Euro-4.

This complex is the largest of Russia built in Russia in the last 25 years and, due to the conversion of vacuum gas in the light of petroleum products, provides a significant increase in the production of autobenzyns. The amount of investment in this project was about one billion (!). (All technologies and equipment, of course, western).

In short, this plant is not a carbon monoxide, dirty and heavy Soviet refinery, but an expensive, light, thin, and transparent masterpiece of American engineering art, producing wonderful fuel for billions of dollars. And at night, a dozen drones flew there, which was blown up, torn, destroyed and set on fire. There is no more wonderful plant - the beauty and pride of the Russian oil industry. Accordingly, there will be no tens of billions of dollars from the sale of fuel.

The destruction of this plant will accurately lead to a sharp increase in gasoline prices in the Russian Federation, to huge financial losses for the budget, and even to the increase in inflation - it is so important and great in the context of the Russian economy. My congratulations to those who performed this operation. It is a very serious blow to the Russian military-economic machine. The UPD began a massive raid of Ukrainian UAVs on the Toropetsky district of Tver region.

There is already burning the oil depot "Tverdnefteproduct" and a weapon arsenal. Explosions are also heard in Smolensk and Kazan. In KSTOV, by the way, gasoline containers began to explode - eyewitnesses report powerful secondary detonation, the fire is becoming more and more. UPD1 Vlad says that everything is under control that the fragments of the fallen drone are extinguished.

But in local publications, people write that the fire is getting stronger and many are already running away from the factory, fearing the constant roar of explosions. They also write that the next is Dzerzhinsk. It is the dirtiest city of the Russian Federation, stuffed with chemical plants. If something explodes there, then the poisonous cloud will cover the whole of the Volga region. The author expresses a personal opinion that may not coincide with the editorial position.
