A Turkish-supplied armed drone is believed to have been used by Ukraine to hit two oil depots well inside Russian territory on the 25th of
April, bringing the war behind the frontlines and embarrassing Russia’s air defences.
A person familiar with the incident told Middle East Eye that a Turkish-made TB2 Bayraktar was used in the attack that took place in Bryansk, a small city 370km south of Moscow.
Though Ukraine is believed to have been behind a similar helicopter attack on 1 April on a fuel depot in Belgorod, this latest raid was more significant because it succeeded in breaching Russia’s air defences and flying at least 150km deep into Russian territory.
Bayraktar, an absolute banger of a song and drone.
Enjoy some ‘special operation’ thrown back at you, Russia.
Russia can’t detect a ukrainian drone entering its territory ? Are they stealth drones ? That seems like a pretty big deal for Russia.
Its time that russia feels, hears and smells in its own country what war is like.
Considering how many issues the Russians have had with supply lines, I’m going to guess this oil depot was important to the war effort, and will cause even more shortages.
I guess Ukraine won’t have a shortage of Russian tanks when all of this is over.
