Have Ukrainian Drones Really Knocked Out 38% of Russia's Oil Refining ... Source: Getty Kyiv’s unprecedented strike campaign on Russian oil refineries has inflicted serious—but likely not critical—damage on the country’s ability to produce fuel. There has been a lot of speculation in recent days about how much damage Ukrainian drone attacks have done to Russia’s oil refineries, with some news outletsclaimingRussia has lost 38 percent of its oil refining capacity. While this figure might have some formal basis in fact, the real state of affairs is far more complex. On paper, Russia can refine 327 million tons of oil every year (or 6.5 million barrels per day). And the capacity of the 16 refineries that have been attacked by Ukrainian drones in August and September is 123 million tons a year—or 38 percent of the total. In other words, 38 percent is the upper limit of potential damage. For Moscow, the current situation is far more serious than in the spring and summer of 2024 when Ukraine conducted a similar strike campaign. Now, Ukrainian drones can fly further, carry bigger payloads, and attack more frequently. Russia’s Volgograd refinery was hit twice in August and twice in Se…

Refineries, pumping stations, pipelines, and export terminals are all being hit — crippling Russia’s ability to supply its own people, let alone fund the war.
