Ukrainian HUR strikes Russian aircraft factory in Voronezh Oblast
Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR) has struck a Russian aviation factory in the city of Borisoglebsk, Voronezh Oblast, a HUR source told NV on April 10.
HUR spokesperson Andriy Yusov noted that the attack "damaged the main production facilities of the enterprise.”
Satellite images published by Radio Liberty show a collapsed roof located at the site of the 711th Aircraft Plant, used by Russia to repair missiles.
According to Ukrainian defense news outlet Defense Express, the plant in Borisoglebsk was repairing:
- air-to-air missiles: R-27, R-73, R-33
- air-to-surface missiles: X-25, X-58
- guidance equipment for cruise missiles X-55 and high-speed missiles X-22
- ground-based radio stations such as R-844M, R-845M and other systems of radio technical support of flights
The factory is located 300 km (186 mi) from the Ukrainian border.
Russian Telegram channels reported that two drones attacked the Borisoglebsky Aviation Training Center on April 9, damaging the building's facade and windows. They claim that no casualties were caused as a result of the attack.
The governor of Voronezh Oblast, Alexander Gusev, reported that local air defense and electronic warfare forces allegedly "detected and destroyed" an aircraft-type drone.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
