Ukraine Just Struck Russia's Largest Refinery — 2,700 Kilometers From the Border | BEN HODGES

On July 6th, Ukraine's FP-1 drones flew 3,000 kilometers into Siberia and shut down Russia's largest oil refinery — a world record. The Omsk facility, processing 23 million tons of crude annually and supplying over half of Siberia's fuel, has completely ceased operations. This was the last of Russia's 11 major gasoline producers left unhit. Russia's own Su-57 fighter scrambled to intercept — and shot down exactly one drone. Ben Hodges breaks down why completing this list closes Russia's final fuel safety valve, what the FP-1 drone reveals about Ukraine's expanding strike capability, and why the Ankara NATO summit timing was no accident.
