Operators of the 14th Regiment of Unmanned Systems Forces, in cooperation with other Ukrainian Defense Forces, successfully carried out 11 Deep Strike operations targeting Russian oil refining infrastructure in August.
According to Ukrinform, the SSU reported this on Telegram and released a video report on the results of the 14th Regiment’s August campaign to reduce Russia’s oil refining capabilities.
“The regiment’s deep strikes caused a sharp reduction in oil refining capacity, disruption of the usual supply chains for petroleum products, and fuel shortages throughout Russia,” the report said.
The SSU noted that this has already had a negative impact on the ability to provide quality logistics for Russian troops, conduct rotations, and carry out rapid maneuvers with large forces.
Strikes on oil refineries have also led to the idling of 6.4 million tons of crude oil, which the Russians cannot use for their own purposes.

“Systematic strikes on the most important strategic facilities of the aggressor country will continue until the Russian Federation stops its armed aggression,” the SSU said.
As reported by Ukrinform, since the beginning of September, units of the Unmanned Systems Forces have destroyed 2,888 enemy targets.
