L’Ukraine has started mass production of drones with a range of over a thousand kilometers and therefore capable of hitting Russian territory. The head of the Ukrainian state defense company Ukroboronprom, Herman Smetanin, said in an interview with ArmyInform. Russia’s “enormous resources and superpowerful industry” have forced Kiev to take a more “flexible and creative” approach to weapons production, he said.
I Long-range drones are being used by Ukraine to strike deep into Russian territorytargeting military infrastructure such as airports and logistics, as well as oil refineries and depots. Attacks on oil infrastructure are intended to disrupt fuel supplies to the Russian military and reduce Moscow’s export revenues, which are crucial to financing the war.
