What is known about the SSU drone attack on the refinery in Russia
According to sources, a major fire broke out at the Ilya Refinery, affecting the primary processing plant, which has a capacity of 3.6 million tons annually. Without it, the enemy cannot produce diesel fuel for military needs.
The price of such an installation is about $50 million.
At the Afipskyi plant, drones also worked well, but the consequences are being clarified.
Both objects are located about 20 km from each other. According to local publications, the Russians were even forced to raise planes into the sky, but this did not help to protect important refineries.
