Massive fires engulf Moscow and St Petersburg industrial sites amid Ukrainian attacks on Russia
Daily Mail (You Tube channel) ^ | Mar 12, 2024 | Daily Mail

Posted on 03/13/2024 8:14:52 AM PDT by MeganC

Huge fires were burning at industrial sites in Moscow and St Petersburg after the latest round of attacks on Russian infrastructure by Ukraine. In St Petersburg, a blaze broke out at an industrial site close to the airport with footage showing towering flames and a huge column of smoke streaking into the sky. Local reports indicated that a hangar within the industrial zone was ablaze, whilst some suggested a drone had been seen nearby at the time.

Meanwhile a similar blaze broke out in the suburbs of Moscow, where a construction warehouse burned to the ground. More footage showed flames ripping through the industrial complex, with firemen working to put the flames out.

Ukraine has not claimed responsibility for either of the strikes, but is known to be in the middle of a campaign of destruction against Russian industrial facilities. The aim is to wipe out the manufacturing capacity at the Kremlin’s disposal, to limit the amount of weapons it can put on the battlefield in Ukraine.

Well, this certainly can motivate Vlad to stop excercising the extreme restraint he has been showing. The Russian people are united, stunts like these may just result in Kiev becoming a huge, smoking hole.

The West is rapidly climbing the escalation ladder. It will be interesting to see Vlad’s response, the war cheerleaders aren’t going to like it….he still holds the largest hammer.

These attacks may just backfire by provoking the Russians to a more aggressive posture.

Agree. Behind Putin, waiting to take over are those who will not act with restraint.

Daily Mail reposted the video. A Russian citizen actually produced the original video.

Putin should immediately retaliate by sinking the rest of Ruzzia’s Black Sea Fleet.

Sounds to me like Jumpin’ Jo Pedo needs to start sending military aid to the Russkis to help them stop the invasion of Russia by “Z” man and his Ukranian pals. Isn’t that what the pedophile is doing with the Israelis and his Hamas pals? The bastards doing the invading are the ones that get U.S. aid.

The drones being used are small commercial VTOLs probably carrying relatively small incendiary IEDs that are powerful enough to rupture lines carrying highly flammable liquids. These are really easy to make

Expect to see this form of high value, soft target terrorism coming to the United States in the near future, possibly courtesy of some of newly invited migrants from places like Cuba, China, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Afghanistan, Iran filled with Marxist revolutionaries and ISIS, the Revolutionary Guard and al Qeada style Islamic terrorist's. Or just Antifa style anarchists

Always nice to see the Ukraine-haters angry and frustrated whenever the truth gets pointed out

Confirmation that we’re on target!

I’m angry about 2 things: US taxpayer dollars going to fund the Biden/Zelensky Laundromat instead of going to protect our border and the senseless slaughter of thousands of innocent people.

Why don’t you keep your nose in Canada? You’ve got problems of your own with which to concern yourself.

Can you say tactical nuclear strike? It could get real ugly in The Ukraine at any moment...

Fearing that we are inching towards WWIII doesn’t make me a “Putin groupie.” Knock it off with your sleazy homosexual innuendos.

I’m imagining an AI in Kyiv scanning through a giant input-output diagram of the Ruxian economy, locating nodes that create the most disruption at the least cost.

Go ahead and joke, the Ukies targeted a Russian Nuke powerplant. Why is the collective West so intent on suicide? I would not blame Vlad one bit if he took out all of the Ukies nuke plants, say thank you to Vlad for his restraint.
