In December 2023 and January 2024, the UAV of the Defense Forces reached a record number of goals. Within two months, the drones hit ten objects in the Russian Federation. Since September 2023, the Defense Forces of Ukraine began to actively beat the oil refineries (refineries), the plants for processing of oil condensate and oil depots in Russia and temporarily occupied territories. Within six months, it was possible to reach up to almost twenty targets, located at a distance of 50 to 900 km.
