The Black Sea vessels seen in the SBS video are ocean-going ships, far larger than the flat-bottomed river couriers Ukraine has been burning along the Azov feeder route. The footage from the FP-1 or FP-2 attack drones shows the operators aiming mostly for the deck structures rather than the bridges, with follow-up drones filming the fires that spread after the first strikes.
And now they’re not just hitting the smaller tankers that each deliver a small amount of oil that gets collected together into one giant ocean-going tanker, instead now they’re also hitting the giant ocean-going tankers themselves - KABOOM!!!
Isn’t Russia trying to buy fuel abroad to make up for the refinery losses? I wonder what ports they’re planning to use for deliveries, because the ones in southern Russia don’t look so safe these days.
I think a lot of it was supposed to come from Belarus, since their refineries were not targeted… yet.
