After a double blow on the warehouse of bombs, the Drones of the Armed Forces struck the ammunition plant in the Russian Federation - Forbes

Ukrainian long -range drones aimed at a factory that builds and serves many Russian VCS bombers - Kazan airline, located approximately 1100 km from the front line in Ukraine. On January 8, Ukrainian drones flew more than 600 km and struck a large fuel storage near the Russian base of bombers in Engels (Saratov region). Six days later, the UAV again struck the same fuel warehouse, causing a fire that lasted for several days. Forbes writes about it.

Now Ukrainian long -range drones are aimed at a factory that builds and serves many Russian CCS bombers - Kazan airline, located approximately 1100 km from the front line in Ukraine. On Sunday, Russian Telegram users reported drones in the sky, an explosion and a fire on a fuel warehouse near the factory.

"Lighting the night sky in the Kazan area in the Russian Federation, Russian aircraft companies for the production and repair of strategic large range bombers, which regularly drop missiles on residents of Ukraine," said the Ukrainian Center for Strategic Communications. A recent blow was only part of a larger series of raids.

At the same time, during the explosions in Kazan, Ukrainian UAVs or missiles struck a helicopter plant in the city, as well as a fuel warehouse in the Bryansk region, 40 km. The Center for Strategic Communications reported that the explosions would continue. It is unclear what type of drones were attracted in Kazan attacks, as Ukraine has developed a significant set of long-range unmanned aerial vehicles, including some on the basis of modified A-22 sports aircraft.

Saratov's earlier raids could participate in smaller drones: PD-2, Beaver, February and UJ-22. All lengths up to three meters, spiral UAVs, probably with GPS, can fly hundreds of kilometers with explosives. It is noteworthy that so many recent deep strikes of Ukraine were aimed at fuel warehouses. These raids are a kind of as a result of a campaign of blows aimed at the Russian oil industry, in particular, the refinery.

Oil not only nourishes the Russian military machine, but is the main source of income for the Russian state. The explosion of fuel on Russian bases of bombers and industrial facilities related to the CCS will probably not stop the shelling of Ukrainian cities, but can make bombing more expensive for Moscow. It is easier to blow up fuel tanks and factories than to blow up the bombers themselves.
