Ukraine’s Drone War: Strikes Target Russia’s Energy Backbone | Vantage with Palki Sharma | N18G

This week turned into a sharp escalation rather than peace in the Ukraine war. Ukraine has launched deep strikes inside Russia, targeting key oil and gas infrastructure—from pipelines to refineries. The weapon of choice: the FP‑1 drone, now making up 60% of Kyiv’s long‑range strikes. Produced at about 100 units a day and carrying warheads of 60–120 kg, the drone has disabled up to 20% of Russia’s refining capacity—around one million barrels per day. The result: fuel shortages, soaring prices, and a growing impact on Russia’s war coffers. With energy revenues under pressure, expect Moscow’s retaliation soon.
