1. [Longer view from same cameraman here](https://www.reddit.com/r/DroneCombat/comments/1ja706w/russian_oil_workers_in_the_saratov_region_watch_a/). Pretty sure it’s the same view anyway

   [Looks like another view here](https://www.reddit.com/r/DroneCombat/comments/1ja84br/ukrainian_lyut_long_distance_attack_drone_hits/) from a different camera as well

2. Looks like a fucking X-Wing fighter. Nice!

3. Hitting the pumping stations will not cause the spectacular footage that we see when Ukraine hits refineries and depots, but looking at the past months, those will already be in pretty much trouble. If the pipelines fail, this will put further stress on the railroad that is over capacity already. More oil transport on the rails means less transport of other stuff and additional wear and tear. Hopefully the oil solidifies in the pipes and they’ll have to shovel the goo out for months.

4. A great nation with a capable army would take actions and set air defence to protect the only two things Russia exports: oil and gas.

5. It’s not much, but it’s honest work.

6. Nice, good hit

7. That’s pretty far I wonder if those same drones could reach Moscow? They need to launch 100,000 drones at once right to Moscow.
