I gather it is part of the latest drone attacks.
Great job keep up the progress, aim for high value targets, need tenfold impact. If I could speak Russian would love to join in on the effort.
A plant that makes missiles and repairs military aircraft? Excellent, I hope it burns to the ground.
This is the way!
It’s sounding pretty likely they’ve gotten some in-house drones being used we haven’t seen yet. Maybe in this case an older Soviet era design like the ones used to strike Engels AFB but St. Petersburg was almost certainly something new. There’s clearly no stupid imposed red tape to strike into the heart of Orcistan here.
If those indeed were a new domestic drone, it might fit along with being another design of theirs that is potent with great range paired to a relatively inexpensive price. Other weapons they’ve used ranging from Stugnas and Neptunes also fit that description
