Footage shows Ukrainian drone striking a sanctioned military site deep inside Russia

Footage released on social media shows a Ukrainian drone hitting a sanctioned Russian military site in Stavropol in southern Russia.

The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) “disabled” Russia’s ability to continue with weapons production at the military site killing more of Vladimir Putin’s troops.

Ukraine has resorted to attack Russian military, weapon manufacturers oil and gas installations in response to Putin nightly bombardments, which in turn limits supplies for Russian forces.

Ukraine’s security service (SBU) told the Kyiv Independent that drones hit a signal radio plant in the Stavropol region which is around 300 miles from Ukraine.

The region also makes electronic warfare equipment and jamming systems for Russian warplanes including remote control equipment.

Pro-Ukrainian open source intelligence blogger wrote, “The Signal facility includes 7 production workshops, a testing center, and 2 design bureaus.”

Ukrainian intelligence source told the Kyiv Independent, “The SBU continues to systematically disable enemy (Russia‘s) facilities working for the war against Ukraine…each such attack stops production processes and reduces the enemy’s military potential.”
