Ukraine Drops a Bombardment on Ryazan’s Power Hub
Last night, Ukraine launched a gut‑watering drone assault on the Ryazan oil refinery and its thermal power plant. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and Special Operations Forces (SOS) pulled the trigger—pun definitely intended—under the confirmatory nod of the Ukrainian Armed Forces General Staff.
What Went Down
- The refinery, Russia’s third‑largest, churns out 17 million metric tonnes of oil every year.
In the raid, three oil depots blew up like the world’s largest fireworks show. The Kyiv Independent was all, “bang, bang, boom!” - Russia’s Defence Ministry said they pulled off a large‑scale air‑salvo: 121 Ukrainian drones intercepted. That breaks down to:
- 17 in Kursk & Saratov
- 20 in Ryazan
- 37 in Bryansk
- Firezooka! Both the refinery’s production line and the pumping station rolled into an inferno. The General Staff traded the words “conflagration” for “factory‑fire” and it was pretty wild.
Why It Matters
Beyond the oil barrels—Ryazan’s smelting plant is a backbone of Russia’s microelectronics empire. Think of it as the factory that drops microcircuits and parts for missions such as Topol‑M, Bulava, and the high‑falutin S‑300 & S‑400 air‑defense systems. In other words: if you’ve got tough missiles, you need tight electronics. And this raid was tripping up that line.
On the Ground
Social media was buzzing with the torching of a diesel‑fuel workshop. Local residents bragged (in a digital, not literal way) about over 50 “explosions” spotted on the streets—like a spontaneous fireworks festival putting a dent in the plant’s machinery.
