Ukrainian drones strike 1,100 kilometers deep into Russian territory | DW News

Ukraine says Russia launched 17 attack drones and several missiles targeting the south of the country overnight. Officials say air defenses were able to down 14 of the drones and two guided air missiles. But Russia is not the only party in this conflict heavily relying on drone warfare. Ukraine is increasingly using domestically produced drones to strike back at Russia deep inside its own borders. On Tuesday Ukrainian drones hit the central Tatarstan region, around 1,100 kilometers from the countries' shared border, in one of the deepest Ukrainian attacks since Russia launched its full-scale invasion two years ago. Kyiv said the attack hit a major oil refinery and a drone assembly factory. While it's proving to be an important advantage for Ukraine, the development is causing concern, not only in Moscow. The US says they don't support nor enable Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory. How serious a threat are Ukrainian drone attacks to Russia? And can they help overcome Ukraine's disadvantage on the battlefield?

[@egorgomon4865]

This detail gets lost for some reason in western media reports

[@ryuuguu01]

Not true. 20% of Russian oil exports by value are refined products. I still think Ukraine should hit the Russian refineries.

[@terraholdingco]

Because oil is a fungible product. A loss of production in Russia, (Or anywhere else for that matter) directly affects global oil prices almost overnight. Increasing supply, reduces prices almost overnight. It's an easy way the United States could bankrupt Russia and other countries at will, if desired.

[@Matt-YT]

@terraholdingco Refineries create refined products not oil. If refineries are shut down, Russia will export more oil (unless Ukraine hits export facilities) at low oil price (cap by EU). More supply of crude will push oil prices down. Turkey, France, Germany, US and India were the biggest buyers of Russian refined products. EU countries were already reducing imports

[@terraholdingco]

@@Matt-YT "Refineries create refined products not oil." Thats very good Matt. What an excellent observation you've made for all of us. Now tell us, if you cannot refine the oil into something useable, like gasoline diesel and kerosene, the three largest categories of refined products, what do you think will happen to the vehicles that need such refined products to move? A reduction of refining capacity is directly correlated to refined product price points by loss of supply. Crude oil is useless to almost everyone, unless it can be refined. This is an obvious aspect of the conversation. Demand does not drop in the locations those systems once supplied. Thus when supply drops, but demand stays the same, price points go up. It is exactly why global prices are gradually increasing due to Russia's inability to process their oil supply, since oil (Yes, refined oil products, of which crude oil is the foundational element) is a fungible product. So you are aware: EU countries were reducing imports because Russia is no longer able to supply them with the volumes they were once capable of producing, not to mention the sanctions imposed on Russia to stopping sales to certain EU countries. But, because oil is fungible, Russia is able to sell to other non EU countries that were once supplied by other producers (Not Russia) and those producers can now sell to the EU nations. Again, oil is a fungible global product that has high price elasticity, whereby the shortage of one location, affects that of all other locations, and small changes in supply, can created large price point variability throughout the global market. It makes no difference who was buying Russian oil. All that matters, for this conversation, is Russia's output is being degraded, and that will in turn, push prices higher globally, as we are seeing. This push will continue, as additional refining capability is removed from Russia.

So in order to not appear too aggressive towards Russia (which the Republicans would use to fuel the fire against Biden in the population), the Biden administration communicates like it does. At least that is my impression from all that I've read or seen and that I found plausible and convincing. I hope the actual support is stronger and keeps getting stronger compared to the strong or not so strong communication of supporter countries.

If this was really viable ukraine would have started doing it years ago but we're to believe they suddenly figured out russias great weakness? Going after soft targets is a sign of desperation.

[@The_Savage_Wombat]

Putin exclusively goes after soft targets with his drones and missiles.

[@SpringIsBACK]

These on-board autonomous and / or semi-autonomous targeting electronics that don't even necessarily have to rely on GPS are not THAT difficult. My friend who was best man @ my wedding was working on such systems for a major US Defense contractor over 40 years ago! Terrain recognition, target recognition / acquisition and discrimination, attack optimization (things like best spot to hit, best attack vector, etc.), and so on... Mass produced, the cost can come down considerably, too.

If Ukraine is able to attack inside Russia with low cost drones, image what the US can do with all our high tech weapons.

[@AndrePepink]

Its actually the opposite. If Ukriane cna attack Russia is because Russia cannot attack satellites. In case of direct confrontation Russia would also attack the US.

Disagree with the final comments in the video. Ukraine no longer needs outside support to hit well into Russia. Yes, external support may make targeting much more accurate and efficient, but Ukraine now has its own capability and is using it.

The Defense Ministry earlier stressed in a statement that the Kiev regime uses foreign mercenaries as “cannon fodder” and that “their lives are not spared by anyone in the Ukrainian command.” “Therefore, they have only one choice - to flee Ukraine or to die. The Russian armed forces will continue to destroy foreign mercenaries in the course of the special military operation, regardless of their location on the territory of Ukraine,”
