But these images don't come from Ukraine. These images come from russian citizens who are living there.
At least it's about war economic reasons. A liter crud is about 0.75 $. Such a tank can store up to 40.000 to 80.000 m³. And even more. Which translates into 30 to 60 mio $. That can't be used for weapon production any longer. Think about 10 80.000m³ stores down. Would be 0.6 mrd loss for Russia.

I would say, if you know that there's no propper air defence, then it's an easy win. And compared to a long range drone for at least ~50k to 100k. Why not :-)
