Ukraine's Drone Attacks Disrupt Russia's Oil and Gas Industry

Ukraine is suspected of using small drones to target Russia's oil and gas facilities, causing fires and disrupting supply lines. The attacks aim to hamper Russian military operations and damage a lucrative industry that has not been significantly affected by Western sanctions. Russia's air defense systems have proven less effective against small drones, allowing Ukraine to hit targets deeper inside Russian territory. The use of domestically produced drones and a drone flying over President Putin's palace during an attack on a St. Petersburg oil depot demonstrate Ukraine's ability to embarrass Russia's air defense systems.
