Previous drone attacks in Russian Tatarstan

On the night of April 2, Ukraine launched a drone attack on one of Russia's largest oil refineries, Taneko, which is located 1,300 km from the border with Ukraine.

Its production capacity is about 360,000 barrels per day.

CNN noted that Ukraine began using drones equipped with artificial intelligence to strike oil refineries.

According to Reuters, the drone attack on the refinery in Tatarstan became one of the largest operations in Ukraine.

British intelligence said the recent attacks knocked out at least 10% of Russian oil refinery capacity. At the same time, according to the UK Ministry of Defence, Russia is unlikely to be able to protect all refineries from Ukrainian attacks.
