Ukraine struck Russia’s largest oil refinery, located in the city of Omsk, on Monday, marking what its forces say was its furthest-ever drone attack in the war.

The Omsk facility, which processes about 21 million tons of oil a year, is in Western Siberia and about 1,700 miles from Ukrainian territory — roughly the distance between Los Angeles and Houston.

    They basically reinvented the Nazi V1 with their Flamingo, and although only small % get through, it’s devastatingly accurate against refineries.

    Meanwhile, Russia uses the old Nazi strategy of launching very expensive rockets at apartments with civilians in cities, doing 0 strategic damage to Ukraine war capabilities, just like the Nazi V1 and later V2 was used and was relatively useless despite its high price.

    Oh, and Ukraine can shoot at almost all Russia’s refineries and weapons factories, but Russia can’t do it back because Ukrainian can always import from refineries and factories in France, Germany, etc, beyond the NATO border…
