“Schemy” publishes an interactive map of the strikes of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on strategic targets of the Russian Federation and satellite images with the consequences

The journalists of “Schem” (Radio Liberty) created a map of military-industrial facilities of Russia, which were hit by the Defense Forces of Ukraine during this fall, and investigated the consequences of the hits with the help of satellite images, which are at the disposal of the editors. To do this, they analyzed data on almost fifty strikes on the territory of the Russian Federation, which were reported by the Ukrainian military.

Ukrainian defense forces have never had such a high number of successful strikes on Russian strategic infrastructure in such a short period of time, according to military and economic experts interviewed by “Schemes”. According to them, these attacks by the Armed Forces have already begun to lead to an increase in Russia’s spending on additional defense, as well as fuel shortages in certain regions.

“We see that a shortage of gasoline has already formed in a number of regions of Russia,” Oleksandr Sirenko, an analyst at the Naftorynok company, told Schema.

In particular, on the night of November 1, the Defense Forces of Ukraine struck the oil terminal in the port of Tuapse. The images from the Planet Labs satellite from November 3 show the probable site of the impact – an oil pipeline. Its damage is indicated by traces of a fire on one of the piers, as well as a visible spill of oil into the sea.

The Ukrainian military, according to the statements of the General Staff, struck the marine oil terminal in Feodosia three times this fall. The results of the most successful of these attacks – 13 damaged and destroyed fuel tanks – were seen on the Schema satellite images.

On the night of October 22, the Defense Forces of Ukraine struck the “Saran Mechanical Plant” of the Rostec Corporation, a key producer of weapons and ammunition for the Russian army. In the images of Planet Labs, “Schemy” noticed damage to the roof of one of the buildings. According to aviation expert Anatoly Khrapchynskyi, this room can be used as a shop for the final assembly of the factory’s products.

A map of the autumn strikes of the Defense Forces of Ukraine on these and other military and oil facilities of the Russian Federation and a detailed analysis of the consequences of these attacks are in the “Scheme” material.
