 Head of Tatarstan advised Russians not to rely on air defence systems after drone attacks. After drone strikes on targets in Yelabuga and Nizhnekampsk, the authorities of Tatarstan called on the region's enterprises not to rely on the air defence of the Russian armed forces to repel attacks but to defend themselves independently, states the head of the Russian region Rustam Minikanov. According to RBC Ukraine, during a speech at an international energy forum, he commented on the early morning strikes on April the 2nd at a plant producing Shahed Kamikaze drones and an oil refinery and noted the inability of air defence systems to protect enterprises and facilities in the Russian region of Tatarstan from air attacks. You should not expect missile defence to work. It solves other tasks, the president of Tatarstan said. According to him, locals should solve these tasks on their own. In every enterprise, every municipality and every city, Minikanov added that the strikes on the Taneco plant and the Alabuga Polytech demonstrated the most vulnerable areas in Tatarstan and that the enemy feels it. The Almighty has given us a chance. Wake up, guys! No one will protect us but ourselves, said the head of the Russian region. He also called on local emergency services to be prepared for emergencies or other incidents. Earlier it was reported that on April the 2nd, drones from the Defence Forces attacked enterprises in the Republic of Tatarstan in Russia for the first time. The explosions occurred in the special economic zone Alabuga, where industrial enterprises are located over a thousand kilometres from the border with Ukraine. At that time, the so-called head of the Republic, Rustam Minikanov, stated that drone attacks had been carried out on enterprises in the cities of Yelabuga and Nizhnekampsk. According to a source in the special services, the target of the attack was the assembly plant for Shahead drones. In addition, Russian media reported that drones also hit a dormitory where workers of this enterprise lived. There are known casualties, according to Andrew Yusof, a representative of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine. During the attacks on Russian facilities in Yelabuga and Nizhnekampsk, foreign weapons were not used. He also confirmed that one of the affected objects in Tatarstan was involved in the assembly of Shahead and Geran drones. Furthermore, one of the buildings located near the enterprise was hit by Russian air defence. By the way, at the end of March, the Partisan movement Ateş reported that in Russia, the heads of oil refineries were instructed to purchase electronic warfare systems, use camouflage and strengthen the protection of tanks with sandbags. All of this is to counter drone attacks.
