Ukrainian drones during January – February deal devastating blows to oil refineries and oil depots in Russia. Long-range drone strikes are gradually bleeding Russia's economy and military-industrial complex.

About this 24 Channel said the head of the Center for Military Legal Research, Alexander Musienko. He explained what irreversible consequences systemic UAV attacks have for the aggressor country.

Targets of attacks on Russian oil refineries

Attacks on the Russian oil and gas industry have a clear goal – to reduce revenues and revenues to the Russian budget, which are then converted into the purchase or production of weapons. At the same time, the global goal is divided into three goals.

First of all, gradually destroy oil and gas industry facilities and limit their functioning. Accordingly, the refinery does not work for internal demand, and those working for external demand have problems with counterparties, because risks for them begin to increase, in particular for cargo insurance.

This would lead to the fact that Russians would lose suppliers and clients and Russian manufacturers would be forced to look for new partners,” Musienko noted.

This situation increases the financial burden on Russian manufacturers, because they need to invest heavily in repairs and restore the trust of external partners. Because of this, there should be internal pressure on the Russian authorities in the Kremlin, which is responsible for what is happening.

Vladimir Putin promised the so-called “his” in three days, and now he flies across Russian territory. They lose expensive equipment and cannot fulfill contractual obligations on time. This puts internal pressure on the so-called Kremlin elites,” said the military expert.

According to him, this pressure has already led to Vladimir Putin actually admitting the problem when press conference, he said that it is necessary to move back the so-called line and create a demilitarized zone. Obviously, the Russian president is being pressured from within by the so-called elites.

“We must understand that it is impossible to exhaust Russia instantly and very quickly. This requires time and an increase in our capabilities. We have reached “An excellent trajectory of upward movement. Now such attacks occur almost every day, but we still need to increase activity. As soon as abilities increase, the geography and number of objects will increase,” the military expert added.
