Ukrainians FOUND & BLOWN UP the most important Russian airport from 150km! Transcript 0:00 welcome to PPR Global as the conflict in the Ukrainian War Arena deepens Kiev continues to launch attacks on strategic locations Russian border regions such as ksk Brians and belgrad as well as Crimea are often the target of Ukrainian drone and longrange missile attacks the ksk region of the Russian Federation has recently become a potential Target of Ukrainian missiles and drones today a missile attack on the region was reported again and the sounds of explos ions were heard all over the city these sounds were recorded especially in the areas close to The Kino airbase and around the settlements along the missile route the first reports of the attack were published online at 0402 indicating that loud noises were heard in the area immediately after these reports a message appeared on one of the local telegram channels announcing that an air alert had been declared due to the missile threat just 1 minute after the alert was announced louder noises were 1:00 reportedly heard in the area while there is no precise information on the source of these sounds subsequent reports came from settlements such as the Villages of lovo and the City of katov lovo is located approximately 70 km from the Ukrainian border while kov is 102 km away following the loud noises there were reports of air defense systems being activated and possibly operating the activation of these systems has caused great unease among the local population reports also indicate that pieces of debris fell in the airport area in ksk and in some local Courtyards these debris could be a sign that the air defense systems are trying to neutralize enemy missiles and in the process some pieces have fallen to the ground the videos posted on the ksk and asra telegram channels record events such as loud noises coming from the sky and a car alarm being activated as a result of a blast wve in the footage 2:00 recorded by surveillance cameras it is 2:03 stated that a single explosion sound Was 2:05 Heard Around 04 AO interim governor 2:08 alexe smirnof gave information on his 2:11 telegram account to explain the causes 2:13 and consequences of these tense moments 2:15 to the public smirnof published an 2:18 update at 06:23 in the morning after the 2:22 events of that night in his message he 2:24 stated that the cor region was targeted 2:26 by four Ukrainian missiles the missiles 2:29 were probably J Dam ER missiles with a 2:32 range of 170 km which could be fired by 2:36 himars he said that the Air Defense 2:38 Forces actively intervene during these 2:41 attacks particularly in the oaba and 2:43 kirov regions Governor smirnov explained 2:47 that as a result of the intervention of 2:49 the air defense systems some objects 2:51 fell to the ground in the form of debris 2:54 since this situation poses a potential 2:56 danger to the residents of the region 2:58 smirnov warned the citizens not to touch 3:01 these debris the possibility that such 3:04 debris could contain dangerous 3:05 substances and explosive elements 3:07 required serious measures to be taken 3:09 for the safety of the public on the 3:12 other hand distance measurements using 3:14 Google Maps show that The Kino Airbase 3:17 is approximately 150 km away Along the 3:20 elov and katov line and this indicates 3:24 the distance the missiles would have to 3:26 travel if Ukraine were to Target this 3:28 base in a possible missile attack 3:30 The Kino Airbase is of strategic 3:32 importance and functions as an important 3:35 center of the Russian military Air Force 3:37 the airbase is home to advanced fighter 3:40 jets such as the MiG 29 smt and Sue 30sm 3:44 which are in the inventory of the 3:45 Russian Air Command and have Modern 3:47 Combat capabilities these aircraft are 3:50 actively used in military operations in 3:52 the region and according to reports the 3:55 airbase serves as a launch site for 3:57 aircraft and missiles used in air strike 4:00 against Ukraine according to Russian 4:02 media reports since the beginning of the 4:04 fullscale invasion the civilian airport 4:07 located close to The Kino Airbase has 4:09 ceased normal flight operations for 4:12 security reasons this shows the impact 4:15 of the military tension in the region on 4:17 civilian air traffic and demonstrates 4:19 the complexity and seriousness of the 4:21 security situation in the region in this 4:24 context The Kino Airbase stands out as 4:26 an important part of Russian military 4:28 strategy and functions as a central 4:31 element of both operations against 4:33 Ukraine and the regional defense posture 4:36 therefore this base remains a potential 4:38 Target in the context of the ongoing 4:40 conflict with Ukraine in addition to air 4:43 bases oil refineries remain potential 4:45 targets for Ukrainian attacks a large 4:48 oil refinery in the city of covo in the 4:51 NJ novarad region of Russia was attacked 4:54 by a drone this event was announced by 4:56 the covo telegram Channel a local social 4:59 media platform and related videos were 5:02 shared in the videos footage of an 5:05 attack drone diving into the refinery 5:07 site draws attention it is clearly seen 5:10 that the Drone approached the Target and 5:12 eventually carried out an explosion at 5:14 the refinery after the explosion dense 5:17 clouds of smoke rising from the refinery 5:19 area covered the sky attracting 5:21 widespread attention further details of 5:24 the incident came from a local resident 5:26 of sabota Village in vodi District at 5:29 around 6:00 a.m. he recorded an attacked 5:32 drone passing over his house and heading 5:34 towards the luo niod ne or zines 5:37 refinery in covo this footage further 5:40 emphasized the scale and impact of the 5:43 incident this refinery in covo is known 5:46 as one of the largest production 5:47 facilities in the city the plant 5:50 processes crude oil to produce various 5:52 petroleum products in addition to this 5:54 large scale facility covo also has a 5:57 prochemical plant specializing in the 5:59 production of ethylene propylene and 6:02 Benzene these facilities make a 6:04 significant contribution to the city's 6:06 economy and are the cornerstones of the 6:08 industrial infrastructure in the region 6:10 on the other hand the Precision attack 6:13 on the poova oil Depot in the ksk region 6:15 of Russia on 27 to 28 July 2024 6:20 represents another chapter in Ukraine's 6:22 strategy to Target critical Russian 6:24 infrastructure this operation 6:26 meticulously conducted by the Ukrainian 6:29 security service demonstrates kiev's 6:31 growing capacity to project power deep 6:34 into Russian territory and disrupt vital 6:37 military logistics it reflects elements 6:40 of the Soviet doctrine of deep War while 6:43 utilizing 21st century Technology 6:46 located about 20 km southeast of the 6:49 city of ksk and about 100 km from the 6:52 Russian Ukrainian border the poova oil 6:55 Depot plays an important role in Russian 6:57 military logistics with a total storage 7:00 capacity of 7,000 cubic met distributed 7:03 in 11 tanks it represents a critical 7:06 fuel reserve for Russian forces in 7:09 military terms this is equivalent to 7:11 about 44,000 barrels of oil or 1.85 7:16 million gallons of fuel to put this 7:18 volume in context it is enough to fill 7:20 the tanks of about 100,000 Passenger 7:23 cars or more precisely to fuel about 7:26 1,000 t72 main battle tanks for an oper 7:29 operational range of 500 km the 7:32 Strategic importance of the facility is 7:34 further enhanced by a special Railway 7:36 connection this Railway connection 7:38 facilitates fast and efficient fuel 7:40 transport enabling rapid replenishment 7:43 of front-line troops in military 7:45 logistics such a facility is classified 7:48 as a forward Armament and refueling 7:50 point on a large scale and serves as a 7:53 critical node in the supply chain of the 7:55 Russian army the compromise of such a 7:58 facility represents more than a simple 8:00 material setback it requires a 8:02 comprehensive reorganization of Russian 8:04 Logistics operations across the entire 8:06 sector on 28th July at approximately o02 8:10 guach local time Ukrainian drones 8:12 entered Russian airspace passing through 8:15 active air defense systems to reach 8:17 their targets the attack caused powerful 8:20 explosions and a large fire with at 8:22 least three of the 11 fuel tanks 8:24 reportedly engulfed in flames the 8:27 severity of the fire indicates that 8:28 temperatures probably exceeded 1,000° 6 8:32 and could jeopardize the structural 8:33 Integrity of nearby tanks and 8:35 infrastructure even if they were not 8:37 directly affected this operation was led 8:40 by the sbu's elite Alpha Unit A 8:43 specialized component designed for 8:45 high-risk high value operations 8:48 originating from the Soviet kgb's 8:50 spetznaz group a the alpha unit has 8:53 undergone extensive reforms and 8:55 modernization since Ukraine's 8:57 Independence it now represents the 9:00 Pinnacle of Ukraine's Special Operations 9:02 capabilities with operators trained in 9:04 advanced infiltration techniques the use 9:07 of explosives and electronic warfare the 9:10 unit's participation in this operation 9:12 demonstrates that the lines between 9:14 traditional military actions and special 9:16 service activities are blurring a 9:19 feature of modern hybrid Warfare the 9:22 choice of uavs for this Mission reflects 9:24 the evolving nature of contemporary 9:27 Warfare while the specific models used 9:29 remain classified it is likely that 9:31 Ukraine used a combination of 9:33 reconnaissance and attack drones 9:36 Advanced uavs similar to the American 9:38 rq4 global hawk or the smaller rq-21 9:42 Blackjack may have been used in the 9:44 reconnaissance phase of the operation 9:46 however reports suggest that Ukraine has 9:49 developed its own long-range 9:50 reconnaissance drone the soil 300 with 9:53 capabilities comparable to its Western 9:56 counterparts equipped with synthetic 9:58 aperture radar and electrooptical Choy 10:00 infrared sensors this system could have 10:03 provided Mission critical realtime 10:05 intelligence the attack itself was 10:07 probably carried out using kamakazi 10:10 drones or mobile Munitions demonstrating 10:13 Ukraine's rapid progress in this area 10:16 while Western systems such as the 10:18 aerovironment switchblade are gaining 10:20 traction Ukraine is reportedly 10:22 developing its own mobile Munitions the 10:25 Ram 2 a domestically produced system is 10:28 said to have a range in in excess of 30 10:30 km and a payload capacity of 3 Kg making 10:34 it highly suitable for precision strikes 10:36 against high value targets such as fuel 10:39 Depot furthermore unconfirmed reports 10:42 suggest that Ukraine may have adapted 10:44 and developed the Soviet era 241 stretch 10:47 reconnaissance drone into a longrange 10:49 strike platform potentially equipped 10:51 with a turbo fan engine similar to those 10:53 used in Western cruise missiles this 10:56 modernized version could have the range 10:58 and payload capacity to strike targets 11:00 deep inside Russian territory the 11:02 success of the operation raises serious 11:05 questions about the effectiveness of 11:06 Russian air defense systems given its 11:09 proximity to the Ukrainian border and 11:11 its strategic importance the ksk region 11:14 is probably protected by a layered air 11:17 defense network this could cover Long 11:19 Range Systems such as the S400 Triumph 11:23 medium- range platforms such as the Book 11:25 M3 and short range point defense systems 11:28 such as the panser 11:31 S1 the ability of uavs to penetrate this 11:34 defense screen suggests a gap in radar 11:36 coverage Advanced electronic warfare 11:38 support to mask the drone's approach or 11:41 potential Intelligence on specific 11:42 locations and operating patterns of 11:44 Russian air defenses this attack 11:47 represents a continuation and escalation 11:49 of a strategy reminiscent of the Allied 11:51 strategic bombing campaigns of World War 11:53 II but on a much smaller scale in which 11:56 Ukraine is increasingly willing to 11:58 strike targets Within Russian borders 12:00 the poova depot itself has been targeted 12:03 before with an attack on 15 February 12:06 2024 causing fires that consumed two 12:09 diesel tanks with a capacity of 12:11 1,400 cubic M respectively this 12:14 repetition emphasizes both the Strategic 12:17 value of the depot and the difficulties 12:19 Russia faces in effectively protecting 12:21 such facilities the timing of the attack 12:24 which took place in Late July is 12:26 particularly significant from a military 12:28 perspective 12:29 the summer months often see an 12:31 intensification of military operations 12:33 due to favorable weather conditions and 12:35 improved Mobility for mechanized forces 12:38 a pattern observed in conflicts ranging 12:40 from World War II to more recent 12:42 conflicts in the Middle East by striking 12:44 a large Fuel Depot during this period 12:47 Ukraine may be trying to preempt any 12:49 planned Russian offensive or exploit 12:51 weaknesses in Russian defense positions 12:54 before they are fortified for the coming 12:55 winter the impact of the attack extends 12:58 far beyond beond the immediate loss of 13:00 fuel the destruction of storage tanks 13:03 pumping equipment fire suppression 13:05 systems and other critical 13:06 infrastructure at the Depot would 13:08 require significant amounts of time and 13:10 resources for repair or replacement 13:12 conservative estimates suggest that 13:14 reconstruction of a facility of this 13:16 scale could take 6 to 12 months and cost 13:19 tens of millions of dollars assuming all 13:22 the necessary materials and expertise 13:24 are readily available a dubious 13:27 assumption given the current 13:28 International sanctions imposed on 13:30 Russia moreover the loss of the poova 13:34 warehouse obliges the reorganization of 13:36 the entire Russian Logistics chain in 13:38 the region fuel supplies will have to be 13:41 re-rooted from other Depot potentially 13:43 as far away as veronz or belgrad 13:46 increasing transport times and costs 13:49 this extended supply line also presents 13:51 new vulnerabilities that Ukrainian 13:53 forces May seek to exploit in future 13:55 operations potentially through 13:57 interception attacks on fuel convoys or 14:00 secondary storage facilities from a 14:02 tactical point of view the attack on the 14:04 poova depot illustrates the high octane 14:07 nature of interference on the 14:09 battlefield traditionally disrupting 14:11 enemy supply lines usually involves 14:13 targeting convoys or transport points 14:16 close to the front lines the ability to 14:19 attack Logistics centers Far Behind 14:21 Enemy Lines represents a significant 14:23 expansion of the battlefield forcing 14:25 Defense Forces to divert resources to 14:27 protect a much larger are area this 14:30 concept sometimes called Deep war or 14:34 deep operations has its roots in Soviet 14:37 military Doctrine developed in the 1920s 14:40 and 1930s by theorists such as Vladimir 14:43 trianda philov and miky tukki it has now 14:47 been adapted to the age of precision 14:49 guided Munitions and unmanned systems 14:52 allowing Concepts that were only 14:54 theoretical in the early 20th century to 14:56 be realized the offensive also 14:59 highlights the weaknesses found in 15:00 centralized Logistics systems large 15:03 warehouses such as poova offer 15:05 efficiency in terms of storage and 15:07 distribution but also provide attractive 15:10 targets for enemy action this could 15:13 encourage a reassessment of Russian 15:15 Logistics Doctrine and lead to a more 15:17 decentralized storage model that while 15:19 potentially less efficient could be more 15:21 resilient to attack such a shift however 15:24 would require significant investments in 15:26 new infrastructure and would likely 15:28 reduce overall operational flexibility 15:31 this dilemma reflects the challenges 15:33 faced by military planners throughout 15:35 history from Napoleon's Grand arm to the 15:38 US military's adaptation to the threat 15:40 of Soviet deep attacks during the Cold 15:43 War in terms of modus operandi this 15:46 operation demonstrates Ukraine's 15:47 adoption of asymmetric Warfare tactics 15:50 unable to directly match Russia's 15:52 conventional military power Ukraine 15:55 instead focused on exploiting weaknesses 15:58 striking High value targets and forcing 16:00 Russia to spend resources on defense 16:02 measures this approach aims to gradually 16:05 erode Russia's military capabilities and 16:07 willingness to continue fighting the 16:10 ability to penetrate Russian airspace 16:12 and strike critical targets with 16:13 Precision opens up new strategic options 16:16 for Ukrainian forces it could also lead 16:19 to a reallocation of resources on both 16:21 sides with Russia strengthening its air 16:23 defenses around potentially important 16:25 infrastructure and Ukraine investing 16:27 more in longrange strike 16:29 capabilities this scenario reflects the 16:31 ongoing cat and mouse game between 16:33 offensive and defensive technologies 16:35 that has characterized Warfare since the 16:38 Advent of gunpowder in some the recent 16:41 attacks in the ksk region demonstrate 16:43 Ukraine's growing capacity and 16:45 willingness to attack strategic targets 16:48 inside Russia this signals a significant 16:51 evolution in Ukraine's war strategy and 16:53 a deepening conflict the attacks are 16:56 directed against both military and 16:58 civilian infrastructure calling into 17:00 question the penetration capability of 17:02 Russia's defense systems moreover such 17:05 attacks put pressure on Russia not only 17:07 militarily but also psychologically and 17:10 economically and aim to limit the 17:12 country's military Mobility from a 17:15 geopolitical and geostrategic point of 17:17 view Ukraine's aggression also affects 17:19 its relations with NATO and other 17:21 Western allies leading them to adopt a 17:23 more strategic approach towards Russia 17:26 this is creating changes in the global 17:28 balance of power potentially triggering 17:30 the development of new military and 17:32 diplomatic alliances and strategies 17:35 socioeconomically attacks on Russia's 17:37 infrastructure and energy resources have 17:39 Ripple effects on both Regional and 17:41 Global economies uncertainty in energy 17:44 markets can lead to widespread economic 17:47 instability which can negatively affect 17:49 the overall performance of both Russia's 17:51 and the global economy militarily 17:54 Ukraine's increased offensive capability 17:57 and its ability to strike deeper into 17:59 Russia has the potential to change the 18:02 nature and methods of Modern Warfare 18:05 this may require Innovations in the 18:06 military doctrines of both Ukraine and 18:09 Russia moreover these developments May 18:12 necessitate urgent investments in 18:13 strengthening Russia's air defense 18:15 systems psychologically and 18:18 strategically such attacks could have a 18:20 demoralizing effect on the Russian 18:22 population and increase internal unrest 18:25 against the Russian government moreover 18:27 by demonstrating the ability to 18:29 penetrate deep into Enemy Lines 18:32 Ukraine's attacks provide an opportunity 18:34 for other countries to review their 18:35 military strategies as a result these 18:38 attacks could be a turning point in the 18:40 conflict between Ukraine and Russia with 18:42 long-term implications for not only 18:44 Regional but also Global Peace and 18:46 security these developments will draw 18:49 the attention of the International 18:50 Community and provide an important 18:52 reference point for future military and 18:54 diplomatic Maneuvers in this context 18:57 efforts to maintain world peace will 18:59 require the development of more 19:00 comprehensive and multifaceted 19:02 strategies to deal with the global 19:04 impact of regional conflicts here are 19:07 some strategies that can be considered 19:09 in this context the International 19:11 Community should emphasize multilateral 19:13 diplomacy to resolve conflict the UN 19:16 Security Council the EU NATO and other 19:19 International organizations should take 19:21 an active role and support mediation and 19:24 negotiation processes to resolve the 19:26 conflict direct talks between Ukraine 19:29 and Russia should be encouraged and 19:31 diplomatic channels should be kept open 19:33 for mutually acceptable compromises and 19:35 solutions continued Military Support to 19:38 Ukraine particularly in strategic areas 19:41 such as air defense systems advanced 19:43 intelligence capabilities and cyber 19:46 defense tools NATO and other Regional 19:48 security organizations could increase 19:50 their military presence and exercises in 19:52 Eastern Europe to prevent Russia from 19:54 creating further Regional instability 19:56 the effectiveness of existing economic 19:58 sanctions against Russia could be 20:00 increased and new sanctions could be considered these sanctions should aim to limit Russia's ability to finance its military capacity further isolation of Russia from International Financial systems in particular from global banking networks such as Swift could increase economic pressure Ukraine's strengthening of security and defense cooperation with neighboring countries and other Global Powers could contribute to Regional stability economic velopment projects and the promotion of regional cooperation can help rebuild postconflict societies and promote economic stability effective counter measures should be taken against Russia's propaganda and disinformation campaigns and Independent Media organizations should be supported to ensure the flow of accurate information informing the International Community about the causes and effects of the conflict can help to ensure widespread support and understanding these strategies offer a comprehensive 21:01 approach recognizing the complex nature of the conflict and its multi-dimensional impacts however the feasibility of each strategy is directly related to International political will and Regional Dynamics therefore continuous evaluation and flexible policy implementation are required thank you for following us
