Ukraine hit two Russian tankers, a warship, and the Slavneft-Yanos refinery
Apparently, someone decided that just hitting one oil depot is boring, so they went for a full combo meal: ships, tugboats, terminals, and a whole giant refinery deep in Russia.
The Ukrainian military just pulled off a massive multi-tool operation, hitting a ridiculous list of targets all at once. We are talking about two Russian tankers, a tugboat, a Svetlyak-class patrol ship, an oil terminal, and the massive Slavneft-Yanos refinery in Yaroslavl.
The sheer scale of this geographic and logistical spread is wild. Yaroslavl is hundreds of miles away from Ukraine, yet their refinery got hit anyway. Meanwhile, somewhere in the water, Russian tankers and a patrol ship were busy doing whatever they do, only to find out that "air defense is working" usually means "things are about to explode."
It seems the strategy has evolved from "let's poke them here" to "let's press all the buttons at the same time and see what happens." Spoiler: a lot of smoke happens.
Russia's navy is increasingly transitioning into an underwater research fleet, and their oil industry is rapidly learning how to operate without actual oil.
