As is mentioned in the video: Better blow up refineries - much easier targets, and the ensuing fuel shortages stop the azzholes on all transport, even their tiny golf carts.

In addition to causing issues for the war machine, causing a fuel shortage also hurts civilians (in a way that is not a war crime). In fact, because the war machine has top priority, a fuel shortage will probably hit civilians first. Frustrated civilians that don't like fuel shortages are more likely to be a nuisance, which is nice.

Can't we let rain, rust, and corruption do that for us? Saves bombs for better things.

Those are too slow. Unless you want this 3 day operation to drag on for 3 decades.

If they get enough oil tanks and refineries there will be no oil for Russia to run their war machine one and the war grinds to a horse/donkey powered halt. There is reason to suspect that Russia is already facing lack of oil issue, though war gets priority so it isn't always clear at the front.

Given how many tanks Ukraine has captured, it would be counterproductive to blow up the storage bases when the Russians are literally paying to store and refurbish tanks for Ukraine.

Seems better to let the Russians put a lot of effort into fixing them up, and then destroying them.

Fingers crossed.

maybe just blow up the tanks in the outer rings
