Russian Forces Take Aim at Ukrainian Drone Production Sites

The Russian military has flexed its muscles once again, this time zeroing in on Ukrainian drone production facilities. According to a report from the Russian Ministry of Defense:

"Our operational-tactical aviation, drone-striking units, rocket troops, and artillery have gone after ammo depots, drone production hubs, drone storage locations, and unmanned catamaran storage areas," the ministry stated.

The impact wasn't limited to just these sites, as temporary deployment points of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and foreign mercenaries in 152 locations also felt the heat.

At the same time, Russian air defense systems managed to cut down two JDAM guided bombs, a HIMARS rocket of U.S. origin, and a whopping 260 aircraft-type unmanned aerial vehicles, 62 of which were outside the special military operation zone.
