The largest UAV attack on the Russian Federation: Defense Express pointed to an interesting detail (video)

Experts concluded that in the rear areas of Russia there are completely no air defense systems, in particular near military facilities and port infrastructure. On Friday, May 17, the Defense Forces of Ukraine caused a massive blow to the "February" drones on the territory of the Russian Federation and a temporarily occupied Crimean peninsula. At the same time, the video defense (air defense) and means (EIT) were not observed on published videos. Defense Express experts drew attention to this.

As noted in the publication, UAV has disrupted the refining plant (refinery) in Tuapse, which is not the first time. Thus, on January 25, the installation of primary oil processing was disrupted at the refinery and only on May 7, information about the restoration of the enterprise. This time the plant attacked several drones at once, which successfully struck the target. Judging by the video from the scene, they were tried to knock down from small arms.

"That is, this object, and with it the city, is not at all covered by means of air defense," the authors of the publication said. A similar situation was also formed in the city of Novorossiysk, where UAVs were struck by a number of objects: electrical substation, port infrastructure and fuel and lubricants. Video with eyewitnesses also did not record the work of the air defense. The Russians tried to destroy the apparatus with machine guns and other small arms.

The publication emphasized that it is a settlement in which the base of the Black Sea Fleet of Russia is located. Accordingly, the city had to be protected by powerful air defense systems. "But all that is - it is a small armament, which directly speaks of a common void in air defense in the rear areas of the Russian Federation," experts summed up.

We will remind, in the Ministry of Defense of Russia declared a "successful" reflection of more than a hundred UAVs in Belgorod and Kursk regions, Krasnodar region and occupied Crimea. At the same time, the Terneft terminal and the port were recorded in Novorossiysk, the Terneft Terneal and the Port, in the operative headquarters of the Krasnodar region were stated in the territory of the NPP due to the "fall of UAV", and in Sevastopol the substation was dismissed.
