New satellite images underscore that Ukraine’s long-running strikes are turning Russia’s prized oil industry into a battlefield.
Ukraine has been increasingly targeting Russian energy facilities and has stepped up its strikes in recent months, attacking more than a dozen oil refineries since early August. It’s part of a campaign aimed at putting pressure on Moscow’s main source of income, one against the other.
Images captured this month by Vantor, a US spatial intelligence firm, and obtained by Business Insider show the nets crossing more than one
A photo taken on October 2 shows anti-drone netting covering three storage tanks at an oil refinery in Russia.
Netting is nothing new and was noticed in pictures earlier this year. But it highlights how Moscow is using advanced defenses to protect its critical infrastructure from Ukrainian drone attacks. The defensive strategy has been recognized by some Russian Revisions. The manufacturer’s defenses such as these have tried to prevent and protect Russian dangers in the harbor from naval drones.
Kyiv attacked the Kuybyshevskiy area, about 500 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, in late August.
Anti-Drone nets have become common defenses in war. The Ukrainian military, for example, has been covering critical access lines with difficulty, and both wars have added cage-like netting with armored vehicles to protect against drones.
Kyle Glen, an investigator with a UK-based center for information security followed by Ukrainian strikes in the energy sector in Russia, told Business Insights on August 19, different from the beginning of August.
Attack on October 13 against Feodosia OIL TERMENT BEST IN YEARS IN RUSSIA. Long-range drones hit the last five tanks, causing a massive fire at the facility, a Ukrainian security source told Business Insider inside.
