The Tuapse (often spelled Tuapase) oil refinery in Russia's Krasnodar Krai, operated by Rosneft, is a key Black Sea export hub processing up to ~240,000 barrels per day of crude into diesel and fuel oil. It was hit by Ukrainian drones twice in April 2026, on April 16, striking storage tanks and causing a massive multi-day fire; and again overnight on April 20, targeting the tank farm and seaport, sparking fresh fires, damaging a gas pipeline, killing at least one person, injuring another, and prompting temporary flight restrictions. Ukraine has confirmed the strikes aimed at disrupting Russian oil exports and war funding. #hm #hmintelligence

In this video, we break down how a geopolitical shock thousands of miles away brought a country to a standstill, cost a government €755 million, and exposed just how fragile a small island economy really is.

Russia has published a video of a UGV being used to move/position an artillery piece. It's likely that this is currently only helpful once in location, but could be improved to the point where even towed artillery is similar to self propelled guns. #hm #hmintelligence
