General Lipovoy named possible launch sites of more than 120 UAVs at the Yaroslavl Refinery

Attack on the Yaroslavl Refinery and the version about launch sites

Ukrainian forces may have sent about a hundred drones toward Yaroslavl Oblast, launched from the territory of Kharkiv, Sumy and other oblasts. This assumption was expressed in a comment to aif.ru by Hero of Russia Major General Sergei Lipovoy. According to him, the Ukrainian Armed Forces may use the 'wolf pack' tactic, launching a large number of drones simultaneously at different altitudes — this, in the expert's assessment, allows individual drones to break through defensive lines and reach their targets. Lipovoy also stated that the range of some of the drones used may be about 2,000 kilometers.

Consequences and scale overnight

According to Yaroslavl Oblast Governor Mikhail Yevrayev, 124 drones were destroyed over the region on the night of November 3. Two employees of the oil refinery were injured in the attack; damage to cars, private homes and apartment buildings was also reported. According to Russian air defense forces, a total of 856 drones were shot down overnight over various regions of the country — these figures are cited from officials and the publication contains no independent confirmation.
