Moscow Uses Containers to Protect Refineries
Satellite images have shown that Russia has adopted an unconventional defensive tactic at oil facilities. It involves using a large number of commercial shipping containers positioned around storage tanks to serve as protective walls. The goal is to reduce exposed areas and absorb blast shrapnel, aiming to prevent future drone or fire attacks and to mitigate damage, especially after previous assaults had damaged the oil sites. The images reveal that this method has been expanded to several Russian refineries, such as Novoshakhtinsk and Nizhny Novgorod, as well as facilities in Taganrog, which were targeted by drone strikes that caused thick smoke columns to rise. Reports confirm that Ukraine has targeted Russian military and oil infrastructure using drone attacks, in the ongoing escalation of the war between the two countries.
