History

Historical Context

In March 1999 NATO launched Operation Allied Force, bombing Yugoslav targets including the Pancevo and Novi Sad oil refineries as part of a campaign that logged more than 38,000 combat missions. The strike set a precedent for using precision air attacks on energy infrastructure, a tactic echoed today as Ukrainian drones hit the Gazprom Neft-owned Omsk refinery deep in Siberia, threatening Russia’s fuel output.
