‼️‼️🇺🇦🇷🇺 BIG | Ukraine has launched another devastating deep-theater air campaign, sending waves of kamikaze drones more than 1,200 kilometers deep into the Russian Federation to strike the critical industrial heart of the Republic of Tatarstan.
Since early this morning, a massive coordinated drone fleet has been relentlessly pounding the ultra-modern Nizhnekamsk oil refinery. Direct hits on primary processing infrastructure have triggered massive explosions, sending towering plumes of thick black smoke visible for miles across the region. Local air defenses were completely saturated as the low-altitude strike drones successfully breached the perimeter of the sprawling energy complex.
This operation strikes at one of the absolute pillars of Russia’s modernized energy economy. The Nizhnekamsk facility is one of the top high-tech refineries in the country, responsible for single-handedly producing immense quantities of high-grade gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel. By systematically expanding its deep-strike operations to hit this vital energy giant, Ukraine continues to choke the Kremlin’s domestic fuel refinement capabilities, plunging Russian logistics into chaos and drying up the economic lifelines sustaining its war machine.

That makes 21 tankers struck within 72 hours: 19 shadow fleet tankers, 1 bulk carrier and 1 ferry.
