Cabbage Yar is the most prestigious rocket launcher of the Russian Federation. Ukrainian drones recently struck it

According to journalists, this is the second Ukrainian blow in two weeks on a Russian space object. At the end of June, Ukrainian drones struck the NIP-16 space communication facility in occupied Crimea. When the Second World War came to an end, the Soviet and Western leaders rushed to buy Nazi missiles, as well as involve German rockers in the work. In May 1946, the Soviet Union opened a missile landfill near Moscow, partly for experiments with the former Nazi Fau-2 missiles.

Forbes writes about it. In many respects, the Kabbin Yar polygon can be called the homeland of the Soviet space program. FAU-2 tests served as an incentive to develop their own missiles, which were launched by the first Soviet satellites. 70 years after the cabbage ravine started the first captured FAU-2, a large range of about 4 thousand square kilometers, according to the CIA's estimation of the CIA 1990s, became a goal during a full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine.

On July 9 or earlier, at least one Ukrainian drone struck the rocket building in a cabbage ravine, a fire occurred. "The historical landfill in the cabbage ravine, where in 1947, Stalin rockets learned to manage Nazi ballistic missiles, apparently, denacked Ukrainian drones!" Said the Russian cosmos historian Anatoly Zak. This is the second Ukrainian blow in two weeks on a Russian space object. At the end of June, Ukrainian drones struck the NIP-16 space communication facility in occupied Crimea.

The Russians obviously use powerful NIP-16 radio stations to communicate with military satellites. According to journalists, it is unclear what kind of Ukraine the problem of blows on the cabbage ravine. In recent years, the Kremlin has been tested here by anti-aircraft missile systems, in particular the latest C-500, the only such complex has been in Crimea and may have recently been attacked by Ukraine.

But it is difficult to say whether Ukrainian drone operators tried to disrupt research work, or simply struck the cabbage ravine because it is prestigious and is within the reach of the farthest of Ukrainian drones. According to journalists, for Russia the loss is mainly political.
