Video “with surgical precision”. Ukrainian drones bombed a plant from the “capital of Russia's armament”, 1,300 kilometers from the front, says SBU

Ukrainian drones hit an important Russian military plant in the city of Ijevsk, located over 1,300 kilometers (800 miles) from the Ukraine front, a source of the security service of Ukraine (SBU) on Tuesday for The Kyiv Independent.

This SBU source said that the long -range drones of the agency targeted the Kupol factory in the Republic of Udmurtia, Russia, on the morning of July 1. At least two confirmed bombings hit the factory production and storage facilities, causing a fire on the spot, according to the same source.

The target factory produces Tor and Osa air defense systems, as well as Harpiya attack drones for the Russian army and are under international sanctions as part of the Russian industrial-military complex. The Kupol plant in the city of Ijevsk, nicknamed the “capital of Russia's armament”, also produces Saman and Adjutant military systems. Ijevsk is also famous by exporting the Kalașnikov model of automatic rifles worldwide.

“With surgical precision, SBU continues to make blows against Russian military-industrial enterprises that contribute to the war effort against Ukraine,” the source said.

“Each such operation weakens the offensive potential (of Russia), disrupts the production chains and proves that no part of Russia's territory is a safe area for its military infrastructure,” said the SBU source.
