Engels burns, and Russia loses resources: the real consequences of Ukrainian blows in the Russian Federation

The first goal was the Bryan Chemical Plant, which is located 12 km from the regional center. According to Russian sources, the enterprise produces equipment and collects various ammunition, including shells to the Grad, Tornado-C, Smerch and Fugas Airborne.

Bryansk himself also was an attack, where, according to local authorities, "rockets" damaged the company "Silicon El", which is not the first time and is considered the second largest electronics manufacturer for military purposes in the Russian Federation. But that night was "explosive" for a number of hostile objects in different regions of Russia. The Alexei Chemical Combine in the Tula Oblast was also injured. After the arrival of the SBU drones, a large fire was recorded there.

Ukrainian UAVs also got the ammunition warehouses of Fabs, Caby and Winged Missiles at the Engels airfield in the Saratov region. A large fire was also recorded at the Saratov Oil Refinery. The Ukrainian army operates systematically, gradually destroying the hostile objects of military infrastructure, as well as key elements of Russia's defense potential. "We destroy strategic military facilities, facilities of the defense-industrial complex, energy infrastructure.

This already produces: Russian facilities such as oil depots and warehouses used for strategic aviation are undergoing serious damage. For example, recent recent The ignition in the territory of Russia, in particular at the aerodrome in Engels, where fuel and lubricants for strategic bombers are stored, are important, although not critical to the enemy, "-says Focus a military expert, a former spokesman for the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vladislav Seleznev.

According to him, Russia still has considerable resources for the restoration of damaged objects, such as ammunition depots and fuel for aviation. They can replace destroyed warehouses, but this reduces their resources and the ability to restore fighting in a short time. The Russian budget for 2025 provides for significant costs of hostilities, so Russia will continue to step on, but the Ukrainian army is actively working on limiting its resources.

One of the important achievements of Ukraine in these attacks is the development of effective unmanned systems. This allows us to apply non -standard approaches to the defeat of enemy objects. For example, drones hang controlled aviation bombs or mines, which makes it possible to destroy the enemy's strategic objects with minimal cost. The expert is convinced that the Russians will repeatedly hear "cotton" and will burn in different corners of the country - this is just a matter of time.

But Moscow as a goal is not a priority for Ukrainian attacks. "Moscow is not just a city, but a strategic management center and decision -making. where there are peaceful people. . The enemy distributes its objects in such a way that the most important and strategic ones are under special protection, including the Kerch Bridge.

To direct several hundred units of our air defense in order to be guaranteed to destroy the enemy air defense, without reaching the main goals, it looks irrational, the expert says. However, the enemy faces the problem: he has many strategic objects, but they begin to lack the strength for effective air defense.

"The tactics of" thousands of cuts " - a gradual, but constant damage to the weaker objects - looks much more effective than attempts to break through a powerful Moscow air defense system," - summarizes the former spokesman of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces. Undoubtedly, all those surveyed by focus experts agree that the forces of Ukraine's defense have increased the capacity for the task of powerful strikes in the Russian Federation.

But the veteran of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the reserve Major Alexei Hetman, believes that the immediate result of such attacks should not be expected. "In general, attacks on Russian facilities are important to reduce enemy resources, but it takes more time to see instantaneous results. Products products for the army, but also provides supply to the front. The hetman says.

According to him, it is much easier to attack the refinery in the Russian Federation, because these objects are in more accessible places. Basic fuel tanks are easier to attack with drones or other means. Damage to such objects can lead to secondary fire, and they can burn until fully burned. However, more protected objects, as chemical plants, require more powerful shocks as they have thick walls and serious ceilings. Missiles must be used to destroy such objects.

"Such attacks have taken place on the night of January 14 reduce the capabilities of the Russian MIC, because they should restore destroyed objects that affect logistics and supply for the army. However, Russia has large reserves and can quickly replace some damaged objects, so It is important to continue such tactics, "the expert continues. If Ukraine's defense forces continue to strike regularly, in a few months Russia will start to experience serious problems, the hetman says.

This will especially affect their capabilities on the front, as warehouses supplied with ammunition will be damaged, and this will limit their resources. However, it should be understood that the result will be cumulative, and you should not expect instant changes, the expert emphasizes. Military expert Pavel Narozhny emphasizes that all the strikes of defense for the territory of the Russian Federation already have consequences.

"A blow was hit by Engels, namely at the airfield, which contains strategic bombers Tu-95, Tu-160, TU-34. According to information with references to sources, after a blow to the aerodrome, the warehouse with ammunition was destroyed.

And we see that in recent weeks, 60-70 targets (such as cabinets) have been destroyed every day, and sometimes more than units , they restore their warehouses, but even the amount of ammunition required for the normal operation of Russian aviation is significantly reduced, "says focus the Narozhny. According to the expert, the attack of defense forces is important, because every ammunition composition is about a week of work for Russian aviation.

Of course, Russia does not work with only one airfield, but from several, but in general the number of attacks decreases. This affects their logistics because they need to redirect planes and make other decisions. "Another important point is the destruction of the composition of petroleum products in Engels. There are Tu-160 aircraft. I will explain how they differ from others. Tu-95 is the main part of Russian aviation to start winged missiles.

But these planes have already exhausted their resource, and Therefore, Russia began to use Tu-160. As for the consequences, we can see a decrease in the number of launches of winged missiles, the expert is convinced. This can lead to the fact that the number of attacks in Ukraine will decrease, but "we cannot calculate exactly how many rockets would be if it were not for these blows. Of course, we want the blows to stop altogether, but it is a matter of time.

" "In addition, we strike on another strategic infrastructure, such as ammunition and artillery factories. The war is now, first and foremost, artillery and artillery occupies the bulk of fire-both ours and in the Russians. In artillery plants and destruction of explosive stocks also reduce the efficiency of hostile attacks, "says the Narozhny. In general, the number of blows and shots in Russia is decreasing, and this is important to understand how the situation changes in favor of Ukraine.

"People often say that nothing is changing, that we have lost war, but this is not the case. The situation at the front is gradually changing to our favor, and we see it. However, wins will not be in one day," the military expert sums up. We will remind, the Saratov oil refining plant, which on the night of January 14 struck the forces of defense, lost at least two tanks with fuel. The satellite photo shows the blackened burned platforms at a point where giant tanks were previously white.
