But what about Russian air defenses?
Novoshakhtinsk oil refinery in Rostov, in Western Russia, which is located barely eight km from the Ukrainian border. As heard in the video above, the drone is quite loud, and that may have been the reason why somebody shot a video of it in the first place. While it is difficult to make out what type of drone it is exactly, it appears to have a twin tail, resembling the Turkish Bayraktar drone.
Built by a group of drone enthusiasts, the PD-1 stands for People's Drone 1 and has a ten-foot wingspan while boasting endurance beyond five hours. According toAdvertisement The PD series of drones are also autonomous and can fly themselves if they lose contact with the operator. This makes them ideal for use in a kamikaze attack like this. According to Russian state media, one drone hit a crude distillation center unit at 8:40 am, causing a fire, while a second drone hit the crude reservoirs at 9:23 am local time. It is not clear which of these strikes the video captured.
Reports also suggest that the drone may be a commercial drone of Chinese origin, which is comparatively cheaper to procure and deploy in a suicide mission. Either way, Russian media has confirmed drone strikes within its borders, raising further questions about the quality of Russian air defenses. As seen in the video above, the drone did make quite some noise and, with stealth capabilities, should have been visible on the radar for quite some time.
We will have to wait and see what happened. In the meantime, the fire has been contained and nobody has been injured in the fire,
