Ukraine’s long-range drones just pulled off an epic deep strike, hitting the Metafrax Chemicals plant in Gubakha, Perm region—over 1,000 miles (1,600 km) inside Russia!

 This massive methanol producer, key for Russia’s explosives and military supply chains, went up in flames after SBU-operated drones slammed into it on February 17, 2026. Explosions rocked the site, fires raged, and emergency crews scrambled—Russia’s “safe” rear areas are no longer untouchable!

This bold op, alongside strikes on Black Sea oil terminals like Taman, is draining Moscow’s war machine: disrupting ammo precursors, choking export cash, forcing air defenses to spread thin across thousands of km. Ukraine’s innovative drones + balloons are rewriting the rules, turning distance into vulnerability and hitting Russia’s industrial heart hard!  Who’s next on the target list? The war just got deeper!
