FP-1 Drone Destroyed Key Facility at Tyumen Oil Refinery

A Ukrainian drone disabled a diesel fuel deep-refining unit at the Tyumen Oil Refinery.

This is evidenced by satellite images of the attack’s aftermath, which were published on the Telegram channel Dnipro Osint.

According to analysts, a Fire Point FP-1 drone was used in the strike.

The drone had to travel over 2,000 km from the Ukrainian border.

According to the General Staff, the Tyumen Oil Refinery was struck on June 20.

The Tyumen Oil Refinery is one of the largest oil refineries in Western Siberia and has a capacity of approximately 7.5–9 million metric tons of crude oil per year. The facility produces diesel fuel, gasoline, and other petroleum products.

A recent drone strike also damaged key facilities at Russia’s largest gas chemical complex in Orenburg.
