Milblog claims British-made drones used in attacks on Russian rear infrastructure including refineries
A Russian milblog cites Western media and alleged Ukrainian sources claiming British-produced UAVs have been used for over six months in raids on Russian rear industrial and infrastructure targets, including the Yaroslavl and Volgograd oil refineries. The post itself questions the claim due to stated drone range limits and suggests the drones may have been used to saturate air defenses rather than directly strike refineries.
