Three lines of a military oil pipeline were destroyed: DIU conducts operation in Moscow region
1 November 10:38
On the night of November 1, powerful explosions occurred in the Moscow region of the Russian Federation. The Defence Intelligence of Ukraine has successfully destroyed three lines of the strategic Koltsevoy oil product pipeline.
This was reported by "Komersant Ukrainian" with reference to the GUR.
According to the military, on October 31, as a result of a special operation by the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, a crucial military facility of the Russian aggressor state, the Koltsevoy oil pipeline, which provided the Russian occupation army with resources to wage a genocidal war against the Ukrainian people, was put out of commission.
The site of the successful disabling of the critical military infrastructure facility is located in the Ramensky district of Moscow region.
The anti-drone net and the “protection” of the enemy object by paramilitary guards did not help, because, as the DIU explained, all three lines through which the aggressor transported gasoline, diesel and aviation fuel successfully and simultaneously exploded, and the oil product pipeline was disabled.
The aggressor sent its special services and repair crews to the site of the explosion.
The DIU emphasizes that another successful DIU operation on the territory of Russia is a serious blow to the military capabilities of the aggressor state, as well as to its economy, in particular in the Moscow region.
The length of the Koltsevoy oil product pipeline is 400 kilometers. The fuel for transportation through the pipeline came from the Ryazan, Nizhny Novgorod and Moscow refineries.
The Koltsevoy pipeline was capable of pumping up to 3 million tons of jet fuel, 2.8 million tons of diesel fuel, and 1.6 million tons of gasoline annually.
Thus, Ukraine continues to exert effective “sanctions” pressure on the aggressor, as described by the Chief of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, Lieutenant General Kyrylo Budanov.
“In fact, our strikes have had more impact than the sanctions. This is just a mathematical truth. We have directly caused much more damage to the Russian Federation than any economic levers of influence on them that have been imposed so far,” Budanov emphasized.
As a reminder, Ukraine is also actively using long-range drones and missiles to attack strategically important Russian targets.
