Bottom line

Why it matters

Rybar disputes reports that British Callen-Lenz Nyan drones struck Russian refineries, citing a 250km range limit as insufficient for the reported targets. The analysis suggests the drones were used to saturate air defenses for longer-range missile strikes, highlighting UK indirect involvement rather than direct long-range capability.
