Drones are the best sanctions: how Ukraine found a weakness in Russian economy

The attacks of Ukrainian UAVs, in particular on the oil refining sector, have a negative impact on Russian economy and cause fuel shortages both in the domestic market and for the enemy army.

This opinion was expressed by military expert Oleg Zhdanov on Apostrophe TV.

"The number of drone attacks should constantly increase. Currently, the attacks are aimed at oil refining sector, which will lead to fuel shortages both in the domestic market and for the army," he said.

According to the expert, now the production of petroleum products in Russia has dropped by 6%, and high-octane gasoline - by 15%, which is a good result.

In his opinion, Russian airfields and factories may become other targets. For example, an attack on an aircraft plant in Taganrog. Attacks on energy infrastructure that supplies military facilities and production are also appropriate.

"The Air Defense system in Russia is not solid. Only certain areas are covered. That is why drones fly around these areas and the battle with them begins only directly at the facilities," Zhdanov said.

Earlier, "Apostrophe" reported that fuel tanks caught on fire in Kursk Region after a UAV strike.
