This video (on the left) shows one drone coming in and hitting the refinery...that looks like it was already smoking from a previous hit. Apologies if posted before.
Joyful to watch
The walls closing in on you now ***t putin. You can't keep a lid on anything indefinitely in this world, you cretin.
One thing 'I read somewhere' is that all these attacks on oil refineries across Russia and perhaps beyond, won't be going unnoticed by the oil refinery workers, and by the local inhabitants. Aside from the hits to infrastructure, they all have an effect on Russians' confidence in their great leader to protect them.
A party political broadcast from the only political party in Russia.
To paraphrase the late great Sir Terry Pratchett:
A party political broadcast from the only political party in Russia.
Go and vote or your wife will kill you & if she doesn't someone else might.
Has anyone actually seen a vote paper over there to see if there's any other names on it?
Obviously I don't want to get into a conspiracy theory about the authenticity of Russia's democracy, but over here we put an X by a list of names on a piece of paper and shove it in a box. Are there any other names aside from Putin on the ballot paper, or is just literally 'Putin' the only option? Forgive me for sounding naive. It's not something I've thought about 'literally' before.
Please make sure you take note of the sarcasm intended about the authenticity of the election.
I found this on line. Looks like there are three paid up puppets....but still you get a Kalashnikov in the head if you mistakenly think they're a real option.A party political broadcast from the only political party in Russia.

Also, it strikes me from that video that the attack drones are quite large... I know these refineries are in remote areas, but it's quite a feat if partisans smuggle these in and conceal their storage and launch... not the sort of thing one can hide in the back of a Toyota 4x4 is it

Could it be these or similar?Also, it strikes me from that video that the attack drones are quite large...

That or long distance drones, either way
, but could well be 
.
If it is the bigger one? That would make sense as its modular and could be smuggled to near a refinery in component form, in a van or similar then assembled there.I guess it could be. The Aussie ad said they have developed a larger one, for a bigger payload - so, maybe 2 metres or more width.
Internet reckons typical diameter of a distillation tower is 14 metres.
Drone looks a bit bigger than that ratio in the video maybe
Yes, that makes sense.
