Ukrainian drones attack 3 oil refineries in Russia, airfield in Voronezh Oblast
Ukrainian drones attacked three oil refineries in Russia, as well as a Russian Air Force air base, and an airfield in Voronezh Oblast overnight on March 13, Ukrainska Pravda reported, citing an unnamed source in the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).
Oil refineries were allegedly attacked in Ryazan, in the cities of Kstovo, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, and Kirishi, Leningrad Oblast, according to the media outlet.
The attacks, which Ukrainska Pravda's source called "a continuation of a series of special operations against Russian oil refineries that were launched earlier," were reportedly carried out by the SBU itself.
"Our task is to deprive the enemy of resources and reduce the flow of money from oil and fuel that the aggressor direct to the war and the killing of Ukrainian citizens," the unnamed source told the media outlet.

The problem with fully autonomous weapons is that every leader has always had to take into account the possibility of losing his own soldiers and having to justify it. But if you send robots or drones into battle, that's just metal and it could lower the inhibition threshold for future conflicts.

Syrian Air Defense shot down two American drones of an advanced type, RQ-21 Blackjack, over the Raqqa countryside. The drone is used by the US Navy and Marine Corps, produced by Boeing Insitu. It is used for reconnaissance, electronic intelligence, and communications spying missions, with high-resolution cameras working at day and night.
One of the images from Ukraine war, showing a low tech DIY drone made out of some plywood and an RPG!
This simple and rather deadly device is said to have been used by the Ukrainians in their fight against Russian positions as well as APCs.
I am not sure how useful they are and how they can even reach their targets as the weight of the RPG is significantly heavier than what a small engine like the one in the image can carry, much less accurately reach the target, not to forget that standard RPGs require a high velocity impact in order to detonate.
But it seems to be working!

Russia faces critical shortage of modern air defense systems
Andrey Kartapolov, the chair of the Russian parliament’s defense committee, has made a statement regarding the Russian army’s inability to defend St. Petersburg, the second-largest city in Russia, from attacks by Ukrainian kamikaze drones.
In his statement, Kartapolov acknowledged the significance of St. Petersburg, referring to it as the second capital and a place of great importance for Russia due to its historical and political significance. However, he pointed out that it is currently “impossible” to shield the city with an impenetrable air defense system.

Russian air defense sufficient on front lines, in Crimea but not on Russian soil
"Russian air defense is thinning out. They filled the front line and Crimea with it (air defense). But you see that the Russian territory is not so filled with air defense equipment," Ihnat told Focus's journalist.
"Moscow, Saint Petersburg, (Russian dictator Vladimir) Putin's bunkers will be more or less protected, but Ukrainian-made drones reach Moscow, St. Petersburg, and oil depots in other cities. This is a very good sign."
Reports of drone attacks against military targets on Russian soil have increased in recent months. Kyiv usually doesn't officially comment on such strikes.
