Ukrainian drones regularly strike russian oil refineries, demonstrating their ability to fly up to 1,000 kilometers from the border.
According to numerous videos filmed in russia, the main instrument of these strikes is the Lyutyi Ukrainian long-range kamikaze drone. But it's worth noting that not all drones reach their targets, because russia still has air defense capabilities.

Only now, the russian federation has shown the wreckage of the Lyutyi drone, which answers some questions about its design and warhead.
But it should be noted that fragments of the drone in the photo are in the wrong order because russians did not put the certain parts of the drone correctly. Its engine should be located in the tail section of the drone. Because it has a pusher configuration, but not a tractor one.
russian invaders also showed the warhead of Lutyi. Its weight estimated to be 50 kg, which corresponds to the Shahed-136 kamikaze drone. It is obviously a high-explosive fragmentation warhead in body with a ready-made fragmentation notch.
Of course, the analysis of this wreckage may provide russia with some information about the capabilities of the drone and its guidance system. But now Moscow is demonstrating a very delayed reaction to counter the destruction of its oil refining infrastructure. Despite the obviousness of the strike sites, no significant concentration of air defense means around them has been noticed.
Earlier Defense Express reported about constantly burning russian oil refineries and that even small plant had used to make $1.75 billion yearly.
