The Telegram channel Crimean Wind said: “For the first time, a Ukrainian drone flew to a target 1,200 km away.”
Reports of the incident have also surfaced on social media, with one user sharing a map of the distance travelled by the drone, and another sharing a video of the strike on Elabuga.
Ukraine’s Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov said: “Most of the drones that attacked Russian oil refineries have a range of 700 to 1,000 kilometers [435 to 620 miles], but now there are models that can fly more than 1,000 kilometers.”
