New satellite image of the fire at the Rosrezerv oil depot in the Rostov region: more than 10 fuel tanks are already engulfed in flames-Radio Svoboda(ru) telegram channel (more info in the comments)
“Radio Liberty publishes a new satellite image of the Rosrezerv oil depot near the city of Proletarsk in the Rostov region. It was taken today, August 19, at 14:23 local time. The photo shows that the fire continues to spread across the territory of the depot, engulfing more and more fuel tanks – there are already at least ten burning tanks there.”-Radio Svoboda(ru) telegram channel
I trust that’s carbon neutral.
“falling debris”
It’s burning well! 💪🤣
Rename it to “Roastov” region.
GOD DAMN, THAT’S A LOT OF FIRE!
All this pollution just because a midget in Kremlin wants a piece of land and its people murdered. Failure of humanity…
Looks like Putina will be importing oil soon.
Looking at Google maps, all that smoke is blowing right over adjacent town of Proletarsk.
Storage tanks like those aren’t cheap to replace.
Why go through the effort of building separate tanks if they aren’t far enough apart to withstand the heat of the adjacent one burning?
On this image we can only see ~8 untouched tanks, over a total of 84 tank-like structures. But most of them under the smoke are probably still untouched **for now**.
Actually I’m surprised this oil depot survived for that long >2 years after the start of the war, considering how large and close to Rostov it is.
It’ll buff out.
I wonder if it’s talked in the news in Russia and average Russian knows about this incident. Anyone has an idea?
11 to go 💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bravo!
Looks like someone forgot to turn off the grill.
More strikes , no more fueling russian war machines

Oooh, givin’ me **Disc-orc** vibes … *”Burn baby burn, burn the mother down!”*
Anyone know how much money the fuel in one of those tanks is worth?
And apparently this place was recently modernised and upgraded so this is a big lose.
Let’s make the world better for everyone by burning oil
It’s crazy that Russia has no way to protect these assets.It makes you wonder in a hypothetical situation how the U.S. would handle it.
Send another drone to get the rest 🔥❤️🔥
Kudos to the drone operators.
Good work, send in another rocket and finish the job
The fire is just raging out of control and keeps getting bigger.
New warming center in August? Crazy Russians 🤪 😜 😆
Great success! 👍
I always thought tank farms were specifically designed so a fire in one tank couldn’t spread to any others. Or is that just a Western thing?
I’m not an expert, but shouldn’t such tanks be in a certain distance from one another and have sort of a levy around them? Building fuel silos in close proximity from each other is an accident waiting to happen.
Pretty picture 😍🇬🇧🇺🇦💪🏻
Here I am separating my recycling and shit like this is going on around the world. Fuck this world
100 000 cubic meter tanks, assuming for example 80% fill. 158 litres per barrel of crude oil.
Assuming average 60 dollars per barrel; 30 379 000 dollars per tank.
18 tanks fully destroyed = loss of roughly 546 million dollars. So over half a billion dollar loss, using couple of drones.

Wind should change just a bit to finish the job.
Let that mother fucker burn!
Who likes oil flavoured marshmallows?
A. Starving Russian troops in Kursk!
Make it 10 more
How much gasoline are in those tank or per tank?
You truly can see it from space: [https://zoom.earth/maps/satellite-hd/#view=46.729652,41.718668,10z/date=2024-08-19,am](https://zoom.earth/maps/satellite-hd/#view=46.729652,41.718668,10z/date=2024-08-19,am) , see the black smoke for 4 half days.
