On-screen text

RUSSIA IS DEFENDING MOSCOW WITH MISSILES FIRED OFF SHOULDERS Russian channels put out new video of a small mobile team taking aim at a Ukrainian drone over Moscow. The team's missile is built to bring down low-flying aircraft. This one hits the drone right above an oil storage site. Yes! Moscow now has layers of defense that would've sounded impossible when the war started in 2022. On September 20, Moscow's mayor said the city came under its largest drone attack ever. After that, Russia parked a Pantsir air-defense truck on a highway overpass beside the main refinery. Parts of it are under netting. A drone hit that net in June, about 50 feet above its target, and blew up too early. That same month, a fuel tank's roof went flying high over the refinery. Analysts say Russia's own missile did that, not Ukraine's. MONEY EXPLAINED R2 Reports FOLLOW FOLLOWING

Original caption

Russia is defending Moscow’s oil sites with shoulder-launched missiles, and newly released video shows a soldier intercepting a Ukrainian drone over an oil storage site. Mobile military crews now supplement heavier air defenses and protective netting around the capital’s oil infrastructure. Those layers can stop drones, but analysts say a Russian air-defense missile caused a fuel-tank blast filmed at Moscow’s main refinery in June. The fight over Russia’s oil supply carries a risk that its own defenses can damage the facilities they protect. #Russia #Ukraine #Moscow #UkraineWar #DroneWarfare #AirDefense #OilRefinery #Geopolitics
