Ukraine's Strikes Force Russia To Import Jet A-1 Fuel
Ukraine’s Defense Intelligence reports that systematic strikes against Russia’s oil refining network have significantly reduced the country’s production of aviation kerosene, forcing Moscow to import foreign-made Jet A-1 fuel. The imported fuel can be used by both civilian and military aircraft, making it a crucial element in Russia’s ability to sustain air operations. According to the intelligence, three vessels have already delivered approximately 70,000 tonnes of Jet A-1 fuel to Russian ports from South Korea and Egypt. This was first reported by Defense Express.
