Night Shift at Rosneft's Ryazan Refinery (INN 6227007322), Two Pantsirs Deleted in Crimea, and the Ammonium Perchlorate Shell Game at JSC Anozit (INN 5402092000)
In the Southern Industrial Node of Ryazan (54.5614 N, 39.7495 E, 475.2 km from the Ukrainian border), Rosneft's flagship refinery once again served as kinetic air defense. Overnight on November 5, 2026, Ukrainian long-range UAVs conducted a repeat strike on process units at JSC Ryazan Oil Refinery Company (AO RNPK, INN 6227007322, OGRN 1026200870321, FNS EGRUL Extract No. YuE9965-26232200674). With an annual capacity of 17.1 million tonnes, the plant is the primary lifeline of TS-1 aviation kerosene for the Tu-95MS and Tu-22M3 strategic bombers stationed next door at Dyagilevo Air Base. Having already lost its main 8 Mt/y ELOU-AT-6 primary distillation unit during the October 15 strike, the refinery absorbed fresh hits while its General Director Sergey Mikhailov (INN 027404554835) remarkably remains absent from US, EU, and UK sanctions lists.
To ensure Russian air-defense crews in occupied Crimea did not feel neglected, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine confirmed the overnight destruction of both an upgraded Pantsir-S2 and a standard Pantsir surface-to-air missile system alongside an air-defense fire group, a UAV command post near Vladivka, and a military logistics depot near Bilovodsk.
Meanwhile, our corporate registry audit uncovered a textbook sanctions-evasion shell game inside Russia's strategic missile supply chain. In Kuibyshev, Novosibirsk Oblast, sits Russia's sole industrial manufacturer of ammonium perchlorate - the indispensable oxidizer for solid rocket motors powering 9M723 Iskander-M ballistic missiles, Yars ICBMs, and S-400 interceptors. Because the legacy state enterprise FKP Anozit (INN 5452112527) has long been blacklisted by Western treasuries, Moscow opted for a corporate sleight of hand.
According to live FNS EGRUL Extract No. YuE9965-26232200398, on August 3, 2026 the Russian state quietly incorporated a clone entity at the exact same facility - JSC Anozit (INN 5402092000, OGRN 1265400018432) capitalized at RUB 5.04 billion under the same General Director, Igor Ivanov (INN 132604463102). Two weeks later, on August 17, 2026, Minpromtorg transferred munitions manufacturing license No. L008-00102-77/00145306 to the new shell company, allowing Russia's monopoly solid-propellant oxidizer plant to operate with zero OFAC, EU, UK, or Ukrainian sanctions.
