The Kremlin continues to try to strengthen the protection of its oil refineries, and the enterprises have been instructed to purchase electronic warfare systems to counter Ukrainian long-range drones. This is reported by the underground partisan movement "ATESH", UNN reports .
The Russian authorities continue to try to strengthen the protection of refineries from Ukrainian drone attacks. Our source at one of the refineries says that the companies have been instructed to purchase electronic warfare systems to counter Ukrainian long-range drones. The main choice fell on mobile systems of the "Shpak" type. These electronic warfare systems are actively used by Russia in the war with Ukraine,
Details
The movement's members note that electronic warfare systems are unable to intercept all types of drones. There is information that some factories already had such systems in place at the time of the attacks, but they did not help them. Ukrainian drones are believed to use advanced technology, making them more difficult to detect and intercept.
In addition to the purchase of new emergency response systems, the companies reinforce tanks with sandbags. Camouflage nets are also used, and lighting is turned off at night.
Recall
russia is conducting internal inspections of the rosgvardia units responsible for guarding oil refineries after the recent successful ukrainian drone attacks on strategic facilities, when about 80% of the drones hit their targets and caused serious damage.
