Ukraine Just Did the Impossible: Its Drones Attacked Russia’s Largest Oil Refinery in Siberia, 1,550 Miles from the Border
Ukraine’s special forces say they launched an eight-hour drone attack on Russia’s largest oil refinery in Omsk, Siberia, more than 1,550 miles from the border. The plant produces about one-sixth of Russia’s gasoline and diesel. Russian officials confirmed the attack but not any damage, as Moscow accuses Kyiv of ignoring Trump’s pleas to stop.
Ukrainian Special Operations Forces (SOF) units struck the Omsk oil refinery in Russia for the third time on November 11, with drones that traveled nearly 3,000 kilometers to the target. The Omsk refinery is the largest in Russia and is part of the Gazprom Neft company. It processes more than 21 million tons of oil per year, producing gasoline, diesel fuel, aviation fuel and petrochemical products. The facility is located about 2,500 kilometers …
Ukraine seems to be expanding its drone attacks further and further into the Russian hinterland. In Omsk, a strategically important oil refinery once again became the focus, which takes over a significant part of Russian fuel production. For the Kremlin, a confirmed hit could have serious consequences.
