"Enthusiastic idiocy, or how the refinery was covered with nets" from Ukrainian drones — military correspondents

Yesterday in The video was joyfully dispersed by the network that now our refineries are "reliably protected by networks and structures" from drones. Not from debris, not from fragments, namely "from drones", the telegram channel "Two Majors" drew attention.

"Well, let's assume that the mathematics of war has all the formulas for a long time. We take the distance from the top of the fuel tank, it is approximately equal to the height of the jeep nearby. Well, two meters, let's say. We think that we want to protect the tank from UAVs with a warhead mass of 50 kilograms (so that for sure we don't rebuild the whole structure later),"the Two Majors write.

We get a shock wave pressure of 9089 kPa, they indicate.

"That is, at the time of the explosion, 2 meters from the top of the tank, the pressure of the blast wave (excluding damaging elements) per square meter of the protected object will be equal to 9 089 000 N/m2. Very conditionally, in kilograms, this instantaneous pressure is equal to a blow of 908,900 kg," the military correspondents explain.

"The devil knows who did the calculations, but these things won't save you from a drone strike. Only from the wreckage. But in order for the wreckage to be wreckage, drones must be shot down in the air. Ideally, by the way, not directly above the refinery," the Two Majors sum up.
