Ukraine STRUCK a Multi-Billion Dollar Oil Hub — Then It BLEW It Up
Militaria, Dec 25, 2025At 1:47 a.m., Ukraine launched a precision drone operation that penetrated Russia’s most fortified air defenses to strike the Karishi refinery, responsible for over 6% of the country’s fuel output. Low-cost UJ-22, FPV-1, and Mugan-5 drones disabled early-warning radars, bypassed MiG-31 interceptors, and triggered a chain of explosions that destroyed critical distillation units, storage tanks, and catalytic cracking systems. Within hours, a facility built over decades was reduced to a self-destructing inferno, sending a plume visible from space and crippling Russia’s fuel network.
This attack demonstrates that small, inexpensive UAVs can now challenge multi-billion-dollar industrial targets, rewriting the rules of modern industrial warfare. The strategic, economic, and military implications are enormous, proving that even the most protected infrastructure can be vulnerable to asymmetric drone operations.
