If small drones with no more than 5 kilograms of explosives managed to reach Ust-Luga, which is 620 miles from Ukrainian territory, this means there are a total of eighteen Russian refineries with a combined
capacity of 3.5 million barrels per day (more than half the Russian total) that are possible targets.
Small drones like those used in Ust-Luga can damage not just pipelines, but also compressors, valves, control units, and other pieces of equipment that are tricky to replace because of sanctions.
