Putin's Oil Empire Collapses After Ukraine's Drone Blitz - Jason Jay Smart



112 Ukrainian drones just hit Russia. Refineries burning. Airbases offline. Communications severed. This is Ukraine’s most devastating drone strike of the war.

Overnight, Ukrainian drones hammered six Russian regions - destroying oil refineries in Samara, Ryazan, and Feodosia. Military communications in Penza were knocked out. Airports shut down. Fuel depots ablaze. Over 112 drones overwhelmed Russian defenses in the largest deep strike to date.

Russia’s energy backbone was shattered. Command centers were blinded. And now, as internet blackouts and refinery fires spread, Putin’s war machine is paralyzed.

In this video, I expose the full scale of Ukraine’s drone campaign, reveal the real reason Russia’s air defenses failed, and explain why this marks a turning point in the war. I also uncover what Russian media won’t dare admit - and why the Kremlin is panicking behind closed doors.

At the end: a direct message from Ukrainian soldiers on the front lines, made possible by your drone donations.
