1. Russia is a petrostate and much of the real economy is derived from providing services to the oil/gas sector.
2. Oil/gas export revenues have been hit hard this year from low oil prices and a strong rubble.
3. There are already fuel shortages in the country.

Smacking oil refineries over and over again exaggerates these problems and deprives the Kremlin of money to pay for the war, which as they love to point out, is fought by voluntary contract soldiers.
If money runs out for the Kremlin then those contracts aren't going to be as lucrative nor attractive because they can't afford it and then Russia must either mobilise or withdraw.

Some estimates put 10-20% of Russia's oil refining as out of service from Ukrainian drone attacks. Russia's own numbers, likely generous, put capacity of refining in the low 80%.
This data is before the recent attacks on some of the biggest refineries Russia has - so it's plausible that Russia is refining oil products at only 70%+ capacity.

Now - look at any chart measuring the price of crude oil and petroleum from this year and tell the thread what you see. Ukraine has made direct attacks on tax revenue, military fuel supplies, whilst barely affecting global oil product prices.

Boms away is what I say. Destroy them all and starve the Muscovite regime of tax revenue.

It is absurd that ziggers like you churn out these retarded arguments in the year 2025 3.5 years after the zigger army has failed to defeat Ukraine.

Does anyone have a neat graph showing Russian oil refinery output change over time? I've tried searching and I'm not sure it's public information. I'd like to have a rough estimate of the damage Ukrainian drones are doing to Russian refineries, I believe they've taken out a double digit % of their refineries this year alone.

So failing public information of refinery totals I've been looking at proxies. I know a good proxy for this is oil/gas revenues in the federal budget which has fallen sharply. Another is petrol and diesel prices in the country which are rising fast.

Does anyone know about any other information that can work for damage assessment of Ukrainian drone strikes killing Russian refining?

Yes. I've seen like ten vids of it but I'm only a casual observer of mil vids. I prefer graphs instead.
