A military expert revealed the details.
Yesterday, October 7, early in the morning, Kyiv attacked the largest oil terminal in the Crimea, which is located in Feodosia. Ukrainian media wrote that the facility was attacked by drones, and Russian media — that there were two missiles.
Defense Express expert Valeriy Ryabykh voiced his opinion regarding the events in Feodosia on October 7.
He does not rule out that Kyiv carried out an attack on the oil depot using new weapons. He did not rule out that, most likely, these were medium-range drones, but which can carry an explosive weighing up to 20 kg. It is possible that the range of the drones is from 500 to 600 kilometers.
Ryabykh does not rule out that Kyiv used one of the three types of the Palianytsia drone missile in yesterday's operation.
It is also possible that the strikes were carried out with long-range missiles supplied to Kyiv by the West. We are talking about the British Storm Shadow missiles.
The most interesting thing is that the Pantsir air defense system has been installed at the oil depot since the autumn of 2022, but it was unable to intercept all the air targets that attacked the terminal.
Meanwhile, the fire at the oil depot in Feodosia has entered its second day. The media reports that five fuel tanks are burning. The occupation authorities have resettled residents of the private sector from the emergency zone. Late yesterday evening, one of the burning fuel tanks exploded.
