The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) organized the attack on the oil refinery in Bashkiria, Russia. Before the attack, the drone flew a record 1,500 km, report RBC-Ukraine sources.

According to the sources, the SSU drone set a historical record by covering a distance of 1,500 km. The drone hit an oil catalytic cracker.

"The SSU has once again proved that it has powerful technological solutions that help to inflict painful blows on the enemy. This means that Russian refineries and oil depots working for the Russian military-industrial complex cannot feel safe even in the deep rear," the source said.
