‘Slowing the production of Russian weapons’ – Ukraine’s spy chief outlines Ukraine’s primary targets inside Russia

A primary target of Ukrainian drones are enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex (MIC) involved in missile production. About one-third are located in European Russia, which makes them accessible targets for Ukrainian drones.

Budanov mentioned the recently targeted Gruppa Kremniy El, a major microelectronics factory in Bryansk and one of the largest microelectronics factories in Russia, as well as the Redkinsky Research Plant in Tver Oblast, which produces Decilin aviation fuel for Russian forces.

If you look at all the Russian facilities "subjected to some unknown influence," you can see a pattern: they all work for the Russian MIC.

"When we work out certain actions on defense industry facilities, we aim at only one thing: to slowdown the production of Russian weapons," Budanov said.
