Ukraine Update May 31
Oil Strike, Antique Tanks, Putin’s House on Fire
Novel Air Defense Tactics
Ukrainian drones and perhaps Western missiles were used to attack the oil facilities on the Black Sea in Kavkaz, Krasnodar region where the oil loading pier, a storage facility, and parts of the refinery caught fire after the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that all drones were intercepted. I guess they are now using oil refineries to intercept drones.
If everything is air defense, then every drone is intercepted.
Russia launched sever S-300 air defense missiles, modified for ground attack, into Kharkiv, killing at least five people and injuring dozens. The image on the left was pieced together by me from a video.
Play on Words
President Biden has partially relented on his restriction against using US weapons to actually attack Russians, saying that Ukraine can now attack targets near Kharkiv. Ukraine has relabeled their maps.
