On the morning of April 9, Russian forces hit military facilities in the Kherson region. A large a explosion was seen in the area.
According to the local Ukrainian authorities, the Russian aircraft hit targets in the areas of the localities of Lviv, Olgino and Tomarino settlements.
The strike were carried out with high-precision aerial bombs. A military warehouse used for storage of military equipment and ammunition was likely one of the targets which was destroyed in the Berislav area. There were multiple explosions heard in the area, which confirmed that a military facility was destroyed.
The local Ukrainian authorities confirmed the attack but traditionally claimed that this was a civilian elevator. “The damage is still to be assessed, ” the official Ukrainian sources write.

On the evening of April 9, another video confirmed that a lot of Ukrainian combat vehicles were destroyed in another strike of Russian forces. The area of the strike was not revealed. An armored personnel carrier is seen burning in the foreground and a lot of tanks and other military equipment are seen damaged by an accurate strike.
During the day, several Russian strikes hit their targets in the Zaporozhie region. Russian precise strikes hit hangars used for storage of HIMARS MLRS and foreign barrel artillery on the territory of an elevator in Orekhov.
In the Gulyai-Pole area, the Russian Aerospace Forces hit the building of the Zapagrotech agricultural machinery manufacturing enterprise with high-precision ammunition. A warehouse of weapons or military equipment was located on the territory of the enterprise.
A series of strikes hit their targets near the city of Zaporozhye itself.
On April 9, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that as a result of recent strikes in the Zaporozhye region, a fuel storage facility with 70,000 tons of fuel for the Armed Forces of Ukraine was destroyed.
This military equipment and strategic reserves of fuel were planned to be assure the upcoming Ukrainian counteroffensive on the southern front lines. The ongoing high-precision strikes of Russian forces confirm their attempts to disrupt the plans of the Kiev and NATO command.
There goes the the much advertised counter offensive. Those Pentagon leaks proved very useful at nipping Ukrainian battle plans in the bud.
Wonder what excuse the Ukies come up with when the offensive doesn’t materialize.
The war will end next year, NATO can no longer supply weapons
Those motha fucker low IQ ukroimbecile nation could easily retain ALL territory IF they hadn’t listened to the jumerican mafia and do not gave a suicidal coup back in 2014. Krimeea, Azov Sea, entire Donbass, Zaporodjie and Kherson would still have been ALL theirs. And no hundreds of thousands of casualties, no totally ruined country, etc……And in the end there was a big chance they could enter EU as well (well maybe after 10-15 years but it was possible). That retarded shitty nazi country acted even worse like a monkey, unable to make previsions 2 steps away……largely a basic instinct society without too much neurons which voted own destruction by backing a minority of depraved fascist psychopaths. Now, it’s too late to fix anything. Kukrainii shithole will live with terrible incresed losses. Just plain visceral Homo Tembelus without any chance to evolve in the near future.
Busy night for the fly boys. So much for Ukrainian air defences.
Ukrainian was once a nation, a poor and corrupted, yet a nation. Now thanks to the far right and Zelensky there is NONE! GOOO BRAIN CELLS!
I think someone has made an error in the fuel figures 70,000 tons is 20 million galleons
Probably, 70,000tons would have been one hell of a boom. Maybe 70,000 litres
1 T= 1000KG 70 000 T= 70 000 000 KG=70 000 000 LITERS MOTHER OF ALL BOOMS…
70000 Tone is just 14 5000T Reserviours which is not that big amount , do not judge it by your car tank lol
70000T Fuel is nothing and you can clearly see the beam from it , is kilometers in the sky , so yes it was huge amount of Fuel .
You realize that an average loaded tanker truck weighs 33 tons, 70.000tons would mean about 2121 fully loaded tanker trucks went up in flames.. this is a hell of a lot of fuel for a war zone without being detected straight away in the first month of the conflict
Fuel density is 0.75kg per Liter. (=0.75T per m3). So 70 000T of fuel represent a volume of 70000 / 0.75 = 93333 m3. A Big fuel tanker of 30x30x30m can stock 27000m3. They need 3.45 of them…. So it a Big amount of fuel but it’s possible.
The question is how to hide such a Big amount of fuel ? Impossible to hide in Big fuel tankers. Too easy to destroy. Impossible to hide it in fuel trucks. They need 8000 fuel trucks. Some countries hide their strategic fuel stocks under geological structures called anticline. Its a dôme shaped geological structure used as a réservoir. But you it’s used to hide crude oil.
70000/0,75 is not 93333 but 52500 m3. Anyway, 2 big fuel tanks of 27000 m3 is still a big issue. But I take it as fake news. It does not make sense.
Namz calculates correct. (1 qm fuel = 0,75 t , that’s why 1 t = 1,33 qm) 70.000 t is a huge amount , the NATO / Ukies plan also a huge offensive , so your 4 fuel tanks (hit with 4 hypersonic kinzhals) would rather not be enough.
70,000 liters or 70 tons… that fits in 4 trucks, and that’s nothing for only a one unit the size of a brigade. 70,000 tons is a strategic reserve in huge tanks, and it’s not a mistake, that was destroyed. And how many gallons is that, is really irrelevant…
The usual messages from the front is 1-2 artillery eqm have been hit today, so it fits in with your: “4 Ukrainian trucks of fuel has been hit with 4 hypersonic Kinzhal missiles”.
“4 Ukrainian trucks of fuel has been hit with 4 hypersonic Kinzhal missiles”. you claim “propaganda” , so on the other side you should be more plausible with your counter-propaganda. It’s a little bit funny , but the discussion above rather confirms that SF reports plausible: the Russians are supposedly not this stupid to target 70.000 l fuel. Of course one can doubt if it was really 70.000 tons , yet 1 t diesel = 1,19 qm volume ==> 70.000 t = 83.000 qm = 4 cylindrical storages with 25 m radius and 10 m high. What is your problem here?
because they take 8 months to build in peace time and they would be on the VKS to do list in the first 48 hours and every day after so they couldn’t possibly be stored in the large round storage tanks you see in docks or industrial zones. Are you saying that Russia only saw these the other day?
The average European fuel truck holds between 4,000 – 9,000 galleons the amount claimed is 20 million galleons that’s between 2,200 trucks and 5,000 trucks
Propaganda is propaganda so there is no error. The 70,000 tons is a true military intelligence fake figure to make all sheeple to freak.
even if they were only 7,000 tons, it’s an amount of fuel enough to soustain a small division for about 2 months in full action. And sure they were not four ‘tank trucks’ hit that night.
Also, the ammo depot hit and brillantly exploded filmed from about 3 km is telling how many stuff ucraine army had there. Or do you argue that they hit just 4 HIMARS rockets?
Finally, you are not even able to calculate 70,000 x 0,75 that is not 50,000 but effectively, over 90,000, ergo enough fuel to sustain 20 divisions or 60 brigades for about two months of operation, or enough to sustain 10 divisions or 30 brigades for about 4 months operations. Very huge depots, perhaps too much 70,000 tons, but even 1/10 of that was enough to make a certain damage to ucros.
All this i told not to you but to the others, as i know you are just a NA.Troll and also quite idiot even for this class.
Their offensive might have gone up in smoke. 🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇷🇺 🇷🇺
Now Russia wants to restart the production of SU25 in Belarus .. what a joke .. close air support SU25 became obsolete 40 years ago when the first Stinger got fired , the whole close air support doctrine is dead, Russian airforce would be far better off with 70 years old IL28 carrying one 3 ton bomb using hit-and-run tactic ….but shoigu didnt notice of course(due to american leaks shoigu filled russian ministry of defense with american agents)
Anyone know how many tanks that could fuel for specified period of say a month? I don’t know the fuel consumption rate.
well, a consumption rate could be about 1,000 lt every 5 days for a tank and 400 for a light armour.
Given that, for a 30 days offensive with 100 tanks and 1,000 APC-IFV-heavy trucks, you will need about 1000x100x 6 600,000 L plus another 2,400,000 for the light stuff. About 3,000,000 liters.
Thanks. I did a quick online check using your data. If, 70000 tonnes of fuel is 63.5 million litres as is quoted then thats equivalent to the fuel consumption of 2100 tanks for a 30 day offensive. Or 1050 for a 60 day offensive. How does Ukraine recover from that?
Very good!
who is the one that puts the stupid music in the videos? I wanna slap them
If you don’t like the music it’s very simple. Just turn the sound off, LOL.
