Breaking news from the Russia-Ukraine warfront! Ukraine's long-range drone strike has dealt a critical blow to Russia’s military operations, targeting the Kristall oil depot, a vital fuel storage facility near the Engels Air Base.
Key Target:
Kristall depot supplies T-8V fuel, crucial for powering Russia's Tu-160 White Swan strategic bombers.
Impact on Russian Airpower:
Without this specialized high-density fuel, Russia’s Tu-160 fleet—already sparingly used—could be grounded entirely.
Recent footage shows massive fires at the depot. If T-8V supplies were destroyed, Russia’s strategic bombing capabilities face serious setbacks.
Symbolic & Tactical Win for Ukraine:
This daring strike disrupts Russian air logistics, targeting the backbone of its long-range bomber fleet.
The Tu-160 bombers last saw action in November 2024 after a 550-day hiatus, reflecting their limited operational availability.
This strike isn’t just about military tactics—it’s a message of resilience and precision. Stay tuned as we bring you updates on this developing story.

00:00Breaking news from the battlefield.
00:02Ukraine's daring long-range drone strike has hit a strategic target deep in Russia,
00:06the Kristall oil depot.
00:08This isn't just any depot.
00:10It's a vital storage base for the fuel-powering Russia's strategic bombers, including the
00:14mighty Tu-160.
00:17These colossal bombers, known as White Swans, rely on a unique, high-density fuel called
00:22T-8V.
00:24Unlike conventional jet fuel, T-8V is tailor-made for the Tu-160's powerful NK-32 engines.
00:32Without it, these bombers are grounded and they're yellow exhaust trails, a thing of
00:36the past.
00:38The Kristall depot, located near Russia's Engels airbase, is a lifeline for its strategic
00:43aviation.
00:44Footage from the site reveals massive fires following Ukraine's precision drone strike.
00:50If T-8V fuel tanks were destroyed, Russia's Tu-160s could face serious operational challenges.
00:58Here's the impact.
00:59The Tu-160s, already sparingly used, might be sidelined entirely.
01:05The last reported mission of these bombers was in November 2024, after a staggering 550
01:12days of inactivity.
01:14Ukraine's strike isn't just symbolic.
01:16It's a potential game-changer, targeting the very backbone of Russia's strategic airpower.
01:21Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
