💥 An oil processing unit sustained the heaviest damage in the attack on the Moscow Oil Refinery. According to the OSINT channel Exilenova+, the strike on the refinery in Kapotnya hit both primary oil processing units: the ELOU-AVT-6 unit and the integrated processing unit within the Euro+ complex. Analysts say the integrated unit sustained significant damage, while the AVT-6 unit was also struck multiple times. The CyberBoroshno channel noted that damage to both processing lines could bring operations at the facility to a complete halt. According to the OSINT community, the equipment likely damaged was recently repaired following previous attacks. Ukrainian defense company Fire Point has also released footage of the September 20 attack on the refinery.

⚡️🇷🇺⚠️ – Russia is expanding Rosatoms Alabuga-Volokno factory in Tatarstan, in an effort to significantly increase its production of military-grade carbon fiber, a key component of Moscows Geran one-way attack drones. The expansion could translate into 500 additional tons of carbon fiber every year by 2029, allowing production of drones to increase by 78—from the current 36,000 Gerans per year to 64,000 (or around 175 drones per day). @GeoPWatch

Live From Europe

European intelligence officials are warning that Russia could test NATO within months, not years, potentially through drone or missile attacks, false-flag provocations, influence operations or even a limited incursion into NATO territory. However, Baltic intelligence officials say they do not currently see signs of an imminent Russian attack and warn that excessive public alarm could itself serve Moscows goal of spreading fear and uncertainty across Europe. The officials nevertheless expect Russian sabotage operations to intensify. They say Moscow is increasingly shifting from random acts of disruption toward more specific targets, including railways, infrastructure supporting Ukraine and European defense companies.
