Ukraine hits both primary processing units at Moscow refinery
As a result of the Ukrainian Defense Forces' attack on the Moscow oil refinery in Kapotnya, the integrated oil processing unit (KUPN) within the Euro+ complex suffered the most. Denys Shtilerman, chief designer and co-owner of the company Fire Point, on Sept. 20 released footage of what are likely nighttime launches of FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles.
On September 20, Ukrainian Defense Forces launched an attack on a Moscow oil refinery, causing significant damage to both primary processing units within the Euro+ complex. Denys Shtilerman, co-owner of Fire Point, a Ukrainian defense company, posted footage of nighttime missile launches, believed to be FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles.
The attack, according to OSINT channels Exilenova+ and Oko Gora, resulted in the destruction of the ELOU-AVT-6 unit and the integrated oil processing unit. Analysts stated that hitting both lines would not only cause a dip in output but effectively halt the processing process. This single night strike targeting the facility 18 kilometers from the Kremlin, heavily defended by several layers of air defense, marks the second time in two days where two major targets were taken out at the facility.
The Ukrainian defense company Fire Point also highlighted that the strike likely hit equipment recently restored after previous attacks.
