Unlikely, pipelines are trivial to fix and generally cheaper than whatever you used to blow it up.

You want to target the things of either end of the pipeline, they’re very expensive and very hard to replace.

Introducing the Shahed Drone system, featuring a mass produced 1.3L gasoline engine usually used on mopeds and coming in at an average cost of $30k USD to produce including munitions package, it’s the solution for all imperialists and traitors in your life.

Got a $1 billion USD pipeline coming in at statistically $3 million USD per mile to construct that needs to have a rapid unplanned deconstruction happen? Think Shahed Drone.

At that price to cost ratio you can send 100 Shahed drones per mile and still come out massively on top in terms of resource performance!

The Shahed drone, for when your enemies say ‘well it would be too expensive to target this.’
