The Ukrainian arsenal revealed a deep Russian gap .. German report reveals

The German newspaper “Die Zeit” reported that “the recent appearance of Russian President Vladimir Putin during his four -day visit to China was not receiving adequate media attention, however, his conversation with Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico in Beijing revealed his psychological state more than the pictures carefully revealed. Putin, who recently showed renewed confidence, was clearly annoyed. Long, his ally in the European Union complains about the Ukrainian attacks on the Russian energy infrastructure. Putin added, indirectly, that the attacks will also harm Selofakia, which imports oil from Russia through a pipeline, and also urged Fico to stop exporting gas and electricity to Ukraine completely.
According to the newspaper, “on the global scene, and as the last days have shown, Putin may not feel a great pressure at the present time, but what worries it is the exact strikes carried out by the Ukrainian army in recent weeks, especially against the Russian oil industry. Since early August, Ukrainian drones have caused damage to at least eight major refining refineries in western Russia, which had to close or reduce their production, At least, on two occasions, a major pumping station on the Drogba pipeline, which transported the oil to Slovakia and Hungary. Zelinski by launching more strikes “in the depth of Russia”. Russian is the largest Ukrainian oil refinery in Karimchuk, the result was an escalation that turned into regular waves of attacks by August.
Military analyst Mecola Bieskov, a researcher at the National Institute for Strategic Studies in Kiev, explains that Ukraine is seeking to achieve several goals through recent strikes. First, reduce Russia’s revenues from the oil and gas sector. Military, these attacks are a dilemma for the senior Russian leaders. To protect civil infrastructure, they will have to withdraw air defenses away from military sites. “Moreover, Ukraine is working to create the so -called threat balance, which is a reliable source of pressure in order to theoretically reach a form of the non -assault and thus secure its vital infrastructure at least.” The site added, “These strikes are possible thanks to Ukraine’s investment, as Russia, in the production of its pathways in large quantities. The Ukrainian army mainly depends on two models in most of its operations. The first is the one Antonov-196 (Antonov-196) plane, which has entered serial production since 2024. This missile, which is about 4.5 meters long, is able to carry a warhead weighing 50 kilograms for a distance of more than 1000 km. The plane operates with a small engine from the German medium -sized Horth. According to the Monastery of Der Spiegel, a huge amount of German aid has been said to have been devoted to the production of An-196. Despite the repeated Russian strikes on the suspected production site, the Antonov Factory in Kiev, manufacturing continues. ”The newspaper continued,“ The second model is the FP-1, a long-range drone with a range of 1600 km and carries a warhead capable of carrying up to 60 kilograms of explosives. Its structure, partially made of plywood, lightweight and works with a engine originally designed for large models. This reduces costs and facilitates mass production. In the past, the Ukrainian armed forces could at best fired a few dozen aircraft in one operation, says expert Beleskov. “Today, the number reaches hundreds.” The figures of the Russian Ministry of Defense confirm this. On the night of September 3, more than 100 Ukrainian aircraft were exposed to a long -term Ukrainian aircraft over Russian territory. “Russian lands are very vast so that they cannot be comprehensively defended against this large number of drones,” Peliskov explains. According to the newspaper, “Despite the extent of the pain caused by these Ukrainian strikes, the rare planes alone did not cause permanent damage to oil refineries. While facilities representing between 13% and 17% of the Russian refining energy, some of which are expected to resume work soon. Meanwhile, the Russian government suspended gasoline exports for two months. On average, Russia produces about 20 percent more than gasoline than it consumes, and its surplus of diesel exceeds 50%, and at the present time, there is no talk about a crisis in supplies. It was veil for international journalists last week. According to the “Fire Point” Ukrainian company, the missile can fly for a distance of up to 3000 km, and uses old Soviet bombs with a warhead weighing 1000 kilograms of explosives. The missile works with a jet engine from the Ukrainian company “Motor Sich”, which has not been used in huge training and production aircraft since the late 1960s. “The newspaper added,” Meanwhile, fears in Ukraine are increasing that Russia’s possibility of its attacks on heating and energy stations is increasing. Ukrainian military officials have already reported the reconnaissance flights of Russian drones over power sites. In recent weeks, Russian missiles have repeatedly targeted gas stations in the Boltava area, as well as an oil station on the Danube. In the industrial city of Dnibro, electricity was cut off from several areas for days after a Russian raid on August 30. In Sumi, electricity and water supplies were also cut off after an attack on a sub -station in the region’s capital. In the previous waves of attacks, the Ukrainian energy system proved that it is more durable than many Ukrainian and Western experts expected. This is mainly due to the Ministry of Energy, that more than 60% of the country’s electricity comes from the remaining three nuclear power plants. These facilities have so far survived the Russian attacks, probably to avoid arousing retaliatory reactions against Russian facilities. Ukraine also depends on imports from Hungary, Poland and Slovakia. However, the energy infrastructure in Ukraine is still at risk, according to Yuri Corolchuk, an expert at the Kiev Energy Strategy Institute. It is said that about 60% of the power stations and sub -stations that were affected in previous waves of Russian strikes have been completely fixed. However, Corolchuk indicates that it is impossible to rebuild all these facilities in such a short period, and therefore the effect of renewable attacks may be dangerous.
