Russian S-300, S-400, and "Pantsirs" incapable of seeing the drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine attacking oil refineries - expert.


Ukrainian drones successfully bypass Russia's air defense systems, as can be seen in the example of the attack on the Moscow oil refinery. Russian systems S-300, S-400, and "Pantsirs" are unable to detect and shoot down Ukrainian drones attacking targets in the Russian Federation. Aviation expert Konstantin Kryvolap reported this on the FREEДOM TV channel. He also emphasized the importance of the defeat of the Moscow oil refinery.
The Russian Ministry of Defense and local governors report the successful defeat of all targets, but the numbers from different sources vary: the Ministry of Defense reports 158 drones shot down, while governors report 164. From Konstantin Kryvolap's point of view, the Moscow oil refinery is a very important target for Ukraine.
The Moscow oil refinery is an important oil processing facility located in the European part of Russia. It can process about 12 million tons of oil per year, which accounts for more than 3% of Russia's total production capacity. Therefore, a strike on the Moscow oil refinery will significantly impact the supply of oil products to the Central Federal District, especially Moscow. Besides the economic consequences, this strike also has an important political aspect: the war that the Russians started in Ukraine has come to their territory, approaching Moscow.
Konstantin Kryvolap believes that more important than the economic losses is that Russians understand that war can happen on their territory. He urges Muscovites to think about this and understand that the Putin regime came to Ukraine to destroy Ukrainians, and they also face this threat. For them, the war has become a reality.
