The oil loading terminal in Novorossiysk is also very interesting for Ukraine.
Ballistic missile fuel production is a very explosive process, any strike will slow down the production of ballistic engines. This was said by Pavel Narozhny, founder of the Charitable Organization "Jet Mail", a military expert, on the air of Radio NV, UNIAN reports.
Answering a question about the latest strikes on Russia, he emphasized that the main task is to make the Russian army have huge problems with food and logistics.
"The strikes aimed at the export of oil products. Novorossiysk is one of the largest ports through which oil products go, through which oil goes and other goods are shipped. Novorossiysk is very well protected, but we see that something is flying there and exploding there," Narozhny said and added that the most interesting for us is the oil terminal in Novorossiysk.
Talking about the strike on the Redkinsky experimental chemical plant in Russia's Tver region, which produces special chemical components, particularly for the aviation and defense industries, including fuel for cruise and ballistic missiles, Narozhny noted that fuel for ballistic missiles is a very high-tech production.
"This all, first of all, takes a very long time to happen. Secondly, it is a very explosive process. So there can be huge fire problems during this production. Therefore, any strike will definitely slow down the production of engines for ballistic missiles," the expert stressed.
He also noted that solid-fuel missiles are not only ballistic missiles - they can also be missiles for air defense systems, as well as multiple rocket launchers, i.e. unguided rockets, artillery shells.
