Protecting oil refineries from drone attacks is expensive, but the cost is justified, said Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak
According to the official, "it is worth it."
"Because downtime at plants in the event of a shutdown means major losses for the enterprises," Novak said.
The companies that own the refineries, he said, provide "passive protection" for the facilities and coordinate with the Defense Ministry and the National Guard.

Officials said costly refinery drone defenses are justified.
If shutdowns cost more, that already counts as success.
