The Turkish Ministry of Trade said on Tuesday it will no longer send to Israel items in 54 categories spanning iron and steel products, jet fuel, construction equipment, machines, cement, granites, chemicals, pesticides and bricks. “Israel continues to flagrantly violate international law and ignores the international community,” it said in a statement. “This decision will remain in place until Israel declares a ceasefire immediately and allows adequate and uninterrupted flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza.”

SEPECAT Jaguar Anglo-French supersonic jet attack aircraft originally used by the British Royal Air Force and the French Air Force carried IR missiles on TOP of the wings, when all the under-wing hardpoints were full.
Tumblr media
Looks awkward, but it worked. You do what you gotta do I suppose.
Of course, the RAF did something similar with ferry tanks on the English Electric Lightning...
Tumblr media
... and that looks even MORE awkward.
The Lightning in Royal Air Force service had no under-wing hard points at all. With control surfaces and the long landing gear there was little space under the narrow wings. Missiles were mounted on the fuselage and the guns were internal.
The Mk.53 export version of the F.6 Lightning (used Saudi Arabia and Kuwait) did manage to squeeze one pylon under each wing, used to carry one 1000-pound bomb or rocket pods for ground attack missions.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The over-wing fuel tanks could also have rocket tubes in the front of the tank. High-explosive solid-fuel rockets fired from the front of a fuel tank! What could possibly go wrong?

There is an overwhelming case for the UK to intervene to stop a US oil tanker carrying 300,000 barrels of jet fuel for use by Israel in Gaza from docking in Gibraltar, according to a letter from a cross-party group of MPs addressed to David Lammy, the UK foreign secretary.
Protests in Spain led by trade unionists and political activists have already resulted in the owners of the Overseas Santorini abandoning plans to dock in the Spanish port of Algeciras. According to Marine Traffic, the ship is now destined to reach Gibraltar at 3pm UK time on Tuesday.
The Gibraltar government, however, insisted it had received no formal request to dock.[...]
Campaigners said the Overseas Santorini was carrying military-grade JP-8 fuel, delivered as part of a contract with the US government, that powers F-16 fighter jets. According to a UN investigation, it was probably an F-16, which are built using UK parts, that bombed British doctors from Medical Aid for Palestinians at a compound in Gaza in January.
The MPs, including members of the Scottish Nationalists, Labour and Green parties, have urged the government to “prohibit and prevent Gibraltar being used as a haven for the transport of military fuel used in Israel’s assault on Gaza”.
The letter said: “The jet fuel will be unloaded and used to fuel the Israeli air force’s F16 and F35 that drop bombs on the people of Gaza. The 300,000 barrels of fuel are sufficient for around 12,000 F-16 refuellings.”
It added: “The case to prevent Gibraltar’s facilities from being complicit in Israel’s breaches of international law are overwhelming. Tens of thousands of Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s assault.””[...]
In May, the Spanish foreign minister, José Manuel Albares, said Spain will not authorise ships carrying weapons for Israel to call at its ports after the country refused to let a ship call at the south-eastern port of Cartagena.[...]
The campaigners said the oil is being shipped by the Valero company from Corpus Christi, Texas and is aimed to reach the port of Ashkelon in Israel. For years, these regular shipments have stopped at Algeciras and Limassol, Cyprus.
On Monday, the business secretary, Jonathan Reynolds, announced he was making a free trade agreement with Israel one of his priorities in securing trade deals. But ministers are expected shortly to announce limited restrictions on arms export licences to Israel if the arms are deemed capable of being used in Israeli offensives in Gaza.

Fusionfall Headcanons: Boardwalk Bullies
The last thing you'll have to worry about is destroyed sandcastles and salt water splashed in your eyes with this beach bully: You'll be too busy simply running for your life. These fusion monsters appear along in both Orchid Bay and Bravo Beach, waiting for the next victim to crush against the shoals.
As explained in their description, Boardwalk Bullies are primarily made of boat parts and beach gear. These parts include tires, speakers, pieces and engines, and water sports equipment like jet skis. At first glance, it can look like a giant scrap pile, disarming their targets. However, despite the mess of equipment they're fashioned from, their design can actually be pretty sophisticated when compared to other fusion monsters. One example of this is their hands, which are most similar to a human's.
They use their powerful bodies to slam straight into their opponents, crushing them. Besides their armor, their heavy torso and overall large size also makes any attempt to damage them difficult. They have incredibly few weaknesses. From concept art, we see only a few exposed areas on their bodies. Thankfully, these includes certain key points, like the knee, and their smaller, skinnier right hand, but while targeting these areas may handicap the Boardwalk Bullies, it won't take them down.
A soldier's best chance at destroying one of them is to use explosives and/or heavy weaponry. Swords and typical guns aren't really going to do the trick. Ideally, you'll want to target any engine pieces or similar machinery attached to their body. If there is any fuel or gas residue left on these pieces, you can potentially cause them to erupt by firing at them. This can sometimes lead to massive amounts of damage against the Bullies--just be sure you're standing far enough away not to get caught in the blast.
The Bullies have one more disadvantage: They have extremely poor visibility. They have no neck to easily turn their heads and, even if they did, the massive armor guarding their shoulders and the backs of their heads limits their vision still. As such, with careful planning, you can get the jump on them.
To the frustration of everyone at the docks in Orchid Bay, these monsters like to stay closeby, often lurking around the shipping crates. Their main goal seems to be disrupting the large amounts of imports and exports conducted there. Secondly, it's the easiest location for them to secure parts to create more of themselves. Defending shipments against these tanks is a regular duty there.
There is one other variant of this species, the Beach Bully. Despite what they're name implies, they aren't actually found all too close to the water, but rather up near the beach houses overlooking the shore. This is possibly due to wealthy residents who owned boats that were then abandoned during the invasion. The fusion fighters don't have a strong presence in this area aside from some a Monkey Skyway Agent checkpoint, which is what allowed this population to linger. Not having access to the same materials, they tend to be less durable and take a longer time to repair themselves.
These fusion monsters are one of the rarer types that copy the habits of the creatures that inspired their design without any connection to their original purpose. Like actual bullies, it seems that they will steal things like money from others in order to indulge themselves. One key example of this is from the mission "Those are a Few of His Favorite Things," in which the Beach Bullies are caught enjoying ice cream and soda pop after getting Johnny's wallet. The full concept of trade might be hard for them to grasp and it's more than likely that they endangered the vendors they got the food from, but this shows that they have the basic idea down. (If it was Fusion Bubbles that bought it for them after knocking out Johnny, she likely would've kept the wallet on her. Either way, they were caught trying to enjoy the treats despite not even having a visible mouth.)

The first official photo of the J-35A was released today, ahead of its planned debut at the China International Aviation & Aerospace Exhibition, better known as Airshow China, held at Zhuhai Airport in Guangdong province, in southern China. The show opens on November 12.
The front three-quarter view of the jet, seen taxiing, reveals several new details and sheds more light on features that were previously more hidden. It also provides a very useful comparison with earlier versions of the J-35 and FC-31, as well as with rival fifth-generation fighters. (..)
Much has been made of the similarities between the J-35/FC-31 and the U.S.-made F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, fueling claims that China copied its American counterpart or at least that it made use of stolen data to directly inform the aircraft’s development(..)

Russian stealth hunting Su-57 is ready for export
Announcement was made by FSMTC employees at the Dubai Air Show.
Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 11/14/2023 - 08:31am Dubai Air Show, Military
Russia is ready to receive export orders for its Su-57 poaching after completing its development program.
Officials of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSMTC) declared at the ongoing Dubai Air Show that, "if our foreign partners contact us, we are ready to start working on this topic". They noted that several customers are already showing “growing interest” in Su-57 aircraft.
Since the end of 2022, the Russian Aerospace Forces have received three batches of Su-57, most of which are actively involved in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Notably, some of these aircraft have the latest 'Product 30' engine, also recognized as the 'second stage', improving the thrust and super crucing capabilities of the stealth jet.
The Su-57 launches missiles and bombs from its internal compartment - an exclusive feature shared only by a few selected aircraft around the world.
Tumblr media
In the field of fifth-generation aircraft available for export, the Russian Su-57 is next to the F-35 as a singular competitor.
Rostec's recent announcement announces the start of the 5ª generation Su-57 serial multifunctional fighter equipment with 2º stage post-combustion turbojet engines, labeled as 'Product 30'. With a post-combustion thrust of 18,000 kgf and a maximum thrust of 11,000 kgf, this advance amplifies the thrust-to-weight ratio of vehicles by 1.2 times (increasing from 1.13 to 1.36 kgf/kg with normal takeoff weight with 63% fuel).
This improvement translates into an increased ascent rate, ranging from 330 to 340-350 m/s, along with an increase in angular velocity during constant curves. In addition, it raises the service ceiling and supersonic cruise flight speed to 2,150-2,200 km/h and the maximum speed to an impressive 2,600-2,700 km/h.
Notably, the engines at the center of this advance were created by the team of the JSC Salyut Gas Turbine Research and Production Center.

Daily Wrap Up March 16, 2023
Under the cut:
A remarkable video released by the Pentagon shows the moments before a Russian fighter crashed into a $32m US Reaper drone after spraying it with jet fuel on Tuesday morning over the Black Sea. The declassified footage shows an Su-27 Flanker jet making two exceptionally close passes of the uncrewed drone, spraying fuel in front of it, a harassment tactic that US experts say has not been seen before.
Poland will become the first country to deliver fighter jets to Ukraine in the next few days, marking a significant upward step in military backing for Kyiv ahead of an expected counter-offensive. The precedent, involving four Soviet-era MiG-29s as a first instalment, could lead to other Nato members providing warplanes, a longstanding Ukrainian request.
Negotiations about a possible conversation between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Chinese leader Xi Jinping are ongoing, but it is too early to say whether a conversation will actually take place, according to a Ukrainian presidential adviser.
Ahead of the Black Sea grain agreement expiring this weekend, the United Nations emphasized that the deal states it would be extended for 120 days — even though Russia said it agreed to a 60-day extension of the deal after negotiations in Geneva on Monday. The Black Sea Grain Initiative is an agreement between Ukraine and Russia, brokered by the UN and Turkey, that was established in July 2022 to guarantee safe passage for ships carrying grain and oilseeds — some of Ukraine's most important exports.  
Russian attacks were reported in Donetsk, Kherson, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Zaporizhzhia, and Luhansk oblasts in the east, south, and north of Ukraine over the past 24 hours. According to local authorities, one person was killed, and 14 were wounded. Russian attacks killed one civilian in Bakhmut and injured 11 more in Donetsk Oblast, Governor Pavlo Kyrylenko reported in his morning update on March 16. Russia hit ten settlements and three communities in the region, damaging over 25 houses, five high-rises, a school, an educational institution, and cars, said Kyrylenko.
(Content warning: Torture, rape.) Russia has committed wide-ranging war crimes in Ukraine such as wilful killings and torture, a U.N.-mandated investigative body said on Thursday, in some cases making children watch loved ones being raped and detaining others alongside dead bodies. The alleged crimes, including the deportation of children, were detailed in a report by the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine, which said some acts may amount to crimes against humanity.
“A remarkable video released by the Pentagon shows the moments before a Russian fighter crashed into a $32m US Reaper drone after spraying it with jet fuel on Tuesday morning over the Black Sea.
The declassified footage shows an Su-27 Flanker jet making two exceptionally close passes of the uncrewed drone, spraying fuel in front of it, a harassment tactic that US experts say has not been seen before.
On the second pass, the Su-27 moves so close to the MQ-9 Reaper that the image briefly becomes pixelated, indicating a collision had happened.
When the camera recovers, a bent propeller wing can be seen – damage sufficiently serious for the US Air Force to force the drone down. It fell into international waters in the Black Sea, and senior Russian officials have said they hope to salvage it.
The head of US Central Command, General Erik Kurilla, said Russian planes had also become more aggressive towards US bases in Syria over the past two weeks, flying loaded with weapons “in an attempt … to be provocative”.
“What we are seeing is an increase recently in the unprofessional and unsafe behaviour of the Russian air force in the region,” Kurilla told the Senate armed services committee. “We have seen a significant spike since about 1 March,” he added.
US officials briefed that the footage of the downing of the Reaper drone “absolutely confirms” there was a collision and dumping of fuel – but they added it did not confirm the Russian pilot’s intent and whether it was intended to strike the Reaper.
By pausing the imagery it is possible to see that the Su-27 was armed with at least four missiles. The US has said the Reaper was unarmed, most likely undertaking surveillance and reconnaissance related to the conflict in Ukraine.
The Pentagon said the footage, which is about 40 seconds long, had been edited by the US military for length but showed events in a sequential order at the end of a sustained period of harassment by two Russian jets.
The US has previously said the drone was damaged after a pair of Su-27s had spent at least half an hour trying to disrupt it by dumping fuel on it and flying in front of it. US air force officials said earlier this week that the jets flew close to the drone 19 times, spraying jet fuel on the last three or four times.
Russia has denied US accusations that its jets acted recklessly and has that its aircraft came into contact with the drone. It insists the drone fell from the sky after making a “sharp manoeuvre” and that it was flying towards Crimea, which Russia has occupied since 2014.
The video was released with the following caption: “Two Russian Su-27 aircraft conducted an unsafe and unprofessional intercept with a US Air Force intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance unmanned MQ-9 aircraft operating within international airspace over the Black Sea on 14 March 2023. Russian Su-27s dumped fuel upon and struck the propeller of the MQ-9, causing US forces to have to bring the MQ-9 down in international waters.”
Justin Bronk, an aviation analyst with the Rusi thinktank, said: “The footage does show two extremely close and unprofessional passes at significant angles of attack, which is in line with the US claims that the Russian pilot involved in the collision was flying recklessly and accidentally collided with the MQ-9.”
On Wednesday, the Russian ambassador to the US, Anatoly Antonov, called the incident a provocation. “We are concerned about the unacceptable activity of the US military in the immediate vicinity of our borders,” he said, accusing the US of supplying intelligence to Kyiv. The US had summoned the ambassador over the incident.
The MQ-9 Reaper is a large remotely piloted aircraft, 11 metres long with a wingspan of more than 22 metres, and can be armed if necessary. The US Air Force says its primary use is as “an intelligence-collection asset” but it has frequently been used in drone strikes against targets in the ongoing “war on terror”.
The defence secretary, Lloyd Austin, and joint chiefs of staff chair, Gen Mark Milley, have spoken to their Russian counterparts about the destruction of the drone.”-via The Guardian, video is at source link

“Poland will become the first country to deliver fighter jets to Ukraine in the next few days, marking a significant upward step in military backing for Kyiv ahead of an expected counter-offensive.
The precedent, involving four Soviet-era MiG-29s as a first instalment, could lead to other Nato members providing warplanes, a longstanding Ukrainian request.
The Polish president, Andrzej Duda, made the announcement in Warsaw. He said the first planes being handed over were inherited from East Germany after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Duda said the MiGs were coming to the end of their working lives after 30 years, but were “still in working order”. The president said that more Polish MiGs were being serviced and repaired in preparation for being handed to Ukraine. In all, Poland has 28 MiG-29s which are to be replaced over the next few years by South Korean FA-50s and US F-35s.
Until now, Ukraine’s backers in Nato have only provided spare parts for its fleet of Soviet-era warplanes, amid fears that delivering functioning planes to Ukraine would be seen by Moscow as direct participation in the war. A year ago, Poland offered to hand over all its MiGs to the US at its airbase in Ramstein, Germany, so they could be passed on to Ukraine, but Washington rejected the plan.
Slovakia, Finland and the Netherlands have all said they would consider supplying Ukraine with warplanes. The US and UK have so far refused to supply their F-16s and Typhoon combat aircraft respectively, on the grounds that they require too much training, ground support and long, smooth runways to be of any short-term help to Ukraine. However, the UK has offered to provide air cover for any eastern European country willing to supply Kyiv with Soviet-era jets.”-via The Guardian

“Negotiations about a possible conversation between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Chinese leader Xi Jinping are ongoing, but it is too early to say whether a conversation will actually take place, according to a Ukrainian presidential adviser.
"We can't say for sure, because negotiations are ongoing," Mykhailo Podolyak, adviser to the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, said on national television Thursday.
The Ukrainian president is open to conversations with other leaders as well, not just Xi, "in order to explain the nature of the war and to say why, without taking into account Ukraine's position, this war cannot be ended," Podolyak said.
"Why supporting for instance only the Russian side firstly will not lead to the finalization of the war, and secondly, it will not add points to China as a global player that understands the nature of war and understands how to end it," he added. Earlier on Thursday, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said he had a telephone conversation with Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang. The two discussed Ukraine's peace plan and "the significance of the principle of territorial integrity," Kuleba said in a post on his official Twitter account.”-via CNN

“Ahead of the Black Sea grain agreement expiring this weekend, the United Nations emphasized that the deal states it would be extended for 120 days — even though Russia said it agreed to a 60-day extension of the deal after negotiations in Geneva on Monday.  
The Black Sea Grain Initiative is an agreement between Ukraine and Russia, brokered by the UN and Turkey, that was established in July 2022 to guarantee safe passage for ships carrying grain and oilseeds — some of Ukraine's most important exports.  
“The agreement is public, it’s an open document. It foresees a rollover of 120 days,” UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric said.   Russian state-run news agency RIA, citing Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko, reported on Monday that Russia and the UN had agreed to a 60-day extension of the grain deal after the negotiations in Geneva.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday that the addition of 60 days was a “goodwill gesture” on Russia's part when asked by reporters why the deal had not been extended by 120 days.  
When asked Thursday about the difference in the duration of the extension between Russian and the UN versions, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said that it may be a display of “UN’s incompetence.”  
Dujarric responded to Zakharova’s remark, saying, “I was just stating and reading a line from the agreement, which talks about the fact that the agreement foresees a renewal for 120 days.”   The spokesperson stressed that the UN doesn't direct the talks or terms to the deal. The Russian Federation, Ukraine and Turkey are the parties involved in the agreement, with the UN as a witness, Dujarric said.
Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar told reporters on Wednesday that Ankara hopes to resolve the issue in a positive way “as soon as possible,” according to Turkish state media Anadolu.
“We started negotiations with the idea of extending the grain corridor for another 120 days in line with the initial version of the agreement. Our friends with the Russian and Ukrainian sides held talks at the technical level. We also continue our talks at the ministerial level,” he said.”-via CNN

“Russian attacks were reported in Donetsk, Kherson, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Zaporizhzhia, and Luhansk oblasts in the east, south, and north of Ukraine over the past 24 hours.
According to local authorities, one person was killed, and 14 were wounded.
Russian attacks killed one civilian in Bakhmut and injured 11 more in Donetsk Oblast, Governor Pavlo Kyrylenko reported in his morning update on March 16. Russia hit ten settlements and three communities in the region, damaging over 25 houses, five high-rises, a school, an educational institution, and cars, said Kyrylenko.
Russian forces struck Kherson Oblast 88 times, firing 413 projectiles on the oblast's settlements, according to Kherson Oblast Military Administration. The attacks reportedly wounded three people in the region as well as damaged houses and apartment buildings in the city of Kherson.
Russian troops launched an S-300 missile at Ukraine's eastern city of Kharkiv on March 15, damaging an educational institution, a high-rise, and cars, said Kharkiv Oblast Governor Oleh Syniehubov.
Russia also attacked four regional districts over the past day, damaging houses and infrastructure sites in the villages of Hatyshche and Lemishcheno, Syniehubov added. No casualties were reported.
On the morning of March 16, Russian forces hit the community of Bilopillia with artillery and grenade launchers in Sumy Oblast, bordering Russia, according to the regional administration.
Earlier on March 15, Russia shelled four other communities in the region, destroying a farm building and an office building, the administration wrote. There were no casualties in the attacks.
Zaporizhzhia Oblast Military Administration reported that Russia had struck civilian infrastructure in 17 settlements. Local authorities received ten reports about damage to citizens' households and infrastructure sites due to Russian attacks. The administration didn't provide information on casualties.
In Chernihiv Oblast, Russian troops used mortars to attack the villages of Berylivka and Yeline close to the Russian-Ukrainian border on March 15, according to the Northern Operational Command of Ukraine's Armed Forces.
The next day, the General Staff reported Russian attacks on two other regional settlements. No casualties were reported.
Russia also shelled four settlements in Luhansk Oblast, the regional administration said on Telegram. It didn't provide information on casualties or damage.”-via Kyiv Independent

(Content warning: Torture, rape.)
“Russia has committed wide-ranging war crimes in Ukraine such as willful killings and torture, a U.N.-mandated investigative body said on Thursday, in some cases making children watch loved ones being raped and detaining others alongside dead bodies.
The alleged crimes, including the deportation of children, were detailed in a report by the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine, which said some acts may amount to crimes against humanity.
At her weekly press briefing, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told reporters that Moscow regularly heard accusations like these.
She added that if those behind such reports supported objectivity "then we are ready to analyse specific cases, answer questions, provide data, statistics and facts. But if they are biased, if they represent only one point of view ... then there is no use responding to these reports."
Russia denies committing atrocities or attacking civilians in Ukraine.
Based on more than 500 interviews as well as satellite images and visits to detention sites and graves, the report comes as the International Criminal Court in The Hague is expected to seek the arrest of Russian officials for forcibly deporting children from Ukraine and attacking civilian infrastructure.
It said Russian forces carried out "indiscriminate and disproportionate" attacks on Ukraine and called for the perpetrators to be held accountable.
"The ongoing armed conflict in Ukraine has had devastating effects at various levels," Erik Møse, chair of the commission, told a press briefing. "Human losses and the general disregard for the life of civilians...are shocking."
The report said at least 13 waves of Russian attacks since October on Ukraine's energy-related infrastructure as well as its use of torture "may amount to crimes against humanity."
It found that some 16,000 children have been unlawfully transferred and deported from Ukraine, citing a Ukraine government figure. Russia denies the charge, saying it has evacuated people voluntarily from Ukraine.
Other children were forced to watch their loved ones raped or, in one instance, detained in a school basement alongside the bodies of the deceased, the report said.
Victims in Russian detention facilities were subject to electric shocks with a military phone - a treatment known as a "call to (Russian President Vladimir) Putin" - or hung from the ceiling in a "parrot position", the report said.
The commission's 18-page report will be presented to the Geneva Human Rights Council on Monday. Countries at the council, the only body made up of governments to protect human rights worldwide, aims to extend and deepen the commission's mandate.
Sometimes, the council's probes lead to prosecutions in international courts. The commission said it is working on a list of possible perpetrators that would be passed onto U.N. authorities.
Asked whether Russia's acts might amount to genocide, as Ukraine believes, Møse said it had not yet found such evidence but would continue to follow up.
Ukraine, which has called for the creation of a special tribunal to prosecute Russia's political and military leadership with aggression over the invasion, has said the commission was essential to ensure Russia would be held accountable.
The commission found reasonable grounds to conclude that the Ukraine invasion qualifies as an act of aggression.
The report also found that Ukraine forces had committed a "small number of violations" including what appeared to be indiscriminate attacks and torture of prisoners of war. The Ukrainian presidency was not immediately available for comment.”-via Reuters

Exclusive: Russia seeks gasoline from Kazakhstan in case of shortages, sources say
MOSCOW, April 8 (Reuters) - Russia has asked Kazakhstan to stand ready to supply it with 100,000 tons of gasoline in case of shortages exacerbated by Ukrainian drone attacks and outages, three industry sources told Reuters.
One of the sources said a deal on using reserves for Russia has already been agreed.
Shyngys Ilyasov, an advisor to Kazakhstan's energy minister, said the energy ministry has not received such a request from its Russian counterpart.
Russian energy ministry did not reply to a request for comment.
Neighbouring Belarus has already agreed to help Russia with gasoline supply.
Drone attacks had knocked out some 14% of Russian primary oil refining capacity as of end-March. So far authorities have said the situation on domestic fuel markets is stable and stockpiles large enough.
Russia is usually a net exporter of fuel and a supplier to international markets but the refinery disruptions have forced its oil companies to import.
The sources said Moscow asked Kazakhstan to set up an emergency reserve of 100,000 metric tons of gasoline ready to supply to Russia.
Moscow imposed a gasoline export ban for six months from March 1 to prevent acute fuel shortages, although it does not apply to the Moscow-led Eurasian economic union, including Kazakhstan, as well as some countries, such as Mongolia, with which it has inter-government deals on fuel supplies.
However, traders said the ban could be widened if the situation in Russia worsens.
Last week, the Orsk oil refinery in the Urals halted production due to widespread floods, which also affected Kazakhstan.
Kazakhstan, the world's largest land-locked country, has also restricted fuel exports until the end of the year, apart from for humanitarian purposes.
According to the sources, Kazakhstan's reserves of Ai-92 gasoline stood at 307,700 tons as of April 5 and Ai-95 gasoline stockpiles at 58,000 tons. Diesel reserves were 435,300 tons and jet fuel inventories totalled 101,000 tons.

Addressing H2S in Downstream Processes: Refining and Petrochemical Applications
Hazardous gas management is an absolute necessity in the complex arena of the refining and petrochemical industries.  Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) is very poisonous and poses a threat to both people and the environment, making it one of the most dangerous gases around.  Downstream operations, especially in the refining and petrochemical industries, face a significant challenge from hydrogen sulphide (H2S).  Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) is a highly poisonous, combustible, and odorous gas that forms when sulphur compounds in crude oil break down.  Health hazards, including respiratory difficulties and nausea, have been linked to even brief exposure to even trace amounts.  Safeguarding lives and operations with the cutting-edge H2S scavenger solutions offered by Imperial Oilfield Chemicals – an excellent H2S Scavenger Chemical manufacturer in India.
Tumblr media
Management options that work include constant monitoring, confinement, chemical treatment, and staff education and development.  These sectors protect their workers and the environment from H2S hazards through preventative measures, without sacrificing productivity.  This article discusses H2S and its significance in the refining and petrochemical industries, including its origins, risks, and efficient methods of control.
Understanding the Origins and Hazards of H2S:
The odour of hydrogen sulphide is sometimes compared to that of rotten eggs, despite the gas being odourless and unpleasant.  It is present in several steps of the downstream processes, especially in the refining of crude oil and the manufacturing of petrochemicals.  H2S is produced in large part due to the oxidation of sulfur-containing molecules present in crude oil.  This implies that the possible emission of H2S is a constant risk when refineries process crude oil to produce useful products like petrol, diesel and jet fuel.  Beyond boundaries, beyond H2S threats.  Get started with Imperial Oilfield Chemicals - a top-ranking H2S Scavenger Chemical exporter in Libya for recognised chemical exports!
H2S poses serious dangers in a number of different ways.  Exposure to even trace amounts might cause symptoms like respiratory irritation, itchy eyes, queasy stomach, headache, and dizziness.  Exposure to higher concentrations for longer periods of time can cause serious health problems, including respiratory failure and death.  Because of H2S's high combustibility and explosive potential, strict control measures are required to ensure the integrity of plant safety and forestall disasters.
Effective Approaches to Mitigate H2S Risks:
Given the severity of the risks, the refining and petrochemical industries use a variety of techniques to reduce the likelihood of being exposed to H2S.  The industry's dedication to environmental responsibility is highlighted by these measures, which also guarantee the safety of operations.  Global solutions for local safety.  Request a quote for premium H2S scavenger chemical solutions from Imperial Oilfield Chemicals – a trusted H2S Scavenger Chemical exporter in Gujarat today!
Detection and Continuous Monitoring:  The constant monitoring and rapid identification of H2S concentrations are foundational to effective control of the gas.  Operators can detect H2S in real-time with the help of modern gas detection systems that come with cutting-edge sensors and alerts.  This allows for quick reactions and appropriate interventions to reduce any risk of exposure.
Containment and Ventilation:  Limiting H2S emissions requires careful containment of any activities that produce the gas, as well as good ventilation.  Good ventilation helps get rid of H2S in the workplace, reducing the risk of exposure.
Chemical Scavenging:  To neutralise H2S, chemical scavengers are commonly used.  These chemicals are meant to trap H2S molecules in their vapour phase and neutralise them before they escape into the air.  This has two advantages: it stops pollution and protects people's health.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and Training:  The most important step in protecting workers from H2S is providing them with proper PPE, such as gas masks and full-body suits.  Workers can learn more about the dangers of H2S and acquire the skills they need to respond appropriately in an emergency thanks to extensive training programmes.
Process Optimization:  The production of H2S can be reduced by the use of process optimisation strategies at refineries and petrochemical facilities.  Changing the parameters of operation or adopting new technologies that slow the breakdown of sulphur compounds could be necessary.
Final Thoughts:
Ethically and legally, the refining and petrochemical industries must ensure that hydrogen sulphide is effectively managed in downstream processes.  The multifaceted approach taken to mitigate H2S concerns includes detection in real-time, training for workers, chemical treatment, and process improvements.  H2S management techniques, which promote safer operational environments and sustainable practices, will need to evolve as these industries adapt to meet rising worldwide needs.
All parties involved in the refining and petrochemical industries have a responsibility to manage H2S in a proactive manner.  These sectors contribute to a safer and more environmentally responsible future by prioritising the deployment of effective mitigation methods, which in turn reduces the risks associated with H2S exposure.  Maintaining a focus on H2S management is critical to creating more secure workplaces, protecting natural habitats, and laying a solid groundwork for these industries to expand.  Delivering H2S safety across borders – Partner with Imperial Oilfield Chemicals, your trusted H2S Scavenger Chemical supplier in Libya!

Brazil seen as potential major hydrogen supplier to Germany
Tumblr media
Brazil has great potential to become an exporter of hydrogen and its derivatives and other sustainable fuels to Germany, Sérgio Costa, president of hydrogen and sustainable fuels association ABHIC, told BNamericas. 
Examples include green ammonia – a key input for fertilizer production – e-methanol, which can be used directly in industries and shipping, road and air transport, and sustainable aviation fuels, like e-jet fuels and e-diesel.
Costa (pictured) highlighted that Germany launched a national hydrogen plan, which envisages doubling hydrogen usage from 5GW to 10GW, with 70% being imported.
He said Brazil has several competitive advantages, such as a relatively low levelized cost of electricity, shorter distance to Europe compared with Chile – another potential hydrogen player in Latin America – and abundance of water.
