Ukraine has further intensified its attacks on Russia's energy infrastructure. Yesterday, Ukrainian long-range drones flew to the Antipinsky oil refinery in the industrial area of Tyumen City, Russia. This location is nearly 2000 kilometers from the Russia-Ukraine border, showing how far the Ukrainian drones have been able to strike.
Russian media reported that at 5 p.m. Moscow time (7 p.m. local time) on October 6, there were several explosions near the Antipinsky oil refinery. At 7:11 p.m. local time, the emergency services in Tyumen City received a report of a fire. All rescue personnel were dispatched to the scene, but no fire was found. However, three Ukrainian drones were found at the site, but their status is unknown. According to the local government of Tyumen City, due to the quick response, the warheads of the drones did not explode.
Tyumen City is the largest city east of the Ural River in Russia and one of the central cities of West Siberia. It is a center for oil and gas production and is known as the "Capital of Oil." Ukraine is not only targeting this oil and gas center in Russia, but also making a demonstration against Russia. The attack by Ukrainian drones on the Russian hinterland clearly received strong support from NATO, especially the United States. Flying so far, while the Russian air defense system remained unaware, it means that the deployment of the Russian air defense system has been mastered by Ukraine. However, Ukraine does not have such strategic reconnaissance capabilities; only the United States has them, and the relevant navigation must necessarily be provided by the United States.
