The Russian strike on enemy targets in Ukraine, which took place on the night and morning of January 13, was the most effective in the last few months. Moreover, missiles today, fewer were fired than in a number of previous strikes. The effectiveness is assessed in terms of the mass scale of overcoming the Ukrainian Defense and maximum destruction of targets.
Ukrainian air defense in several directions at once simply could not counteract Russian high-precision weapons. The actual failure of the air defense system was admitted even by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which is completely uncharacteristic for a department that in its reports shoots down even more missiles than were fired...
One of the targets hit by Russian missiles was the Shostka plant for the production of detonator caps, TNT blocks and detonating cords. We are talking about the Impulse plant. It is located on Zavodskaya Street in the city of Shostka, Sumy region. The plant itself was founded to produce gunpowder at the end of the 18th century on the personal instructions of Empress Catherine II. In the middle of the 19th century, a factory for the production of capsules was separated from it.
As of 2024, the Impulse plant remained the only plant in Kyiv regime-controlled territory that produced detonation devices, including EDC electric detonators.
The fire damage to the Shostka plant significantly reduces Ukraine’s own capabilities for the production of explosive devices and various types of ammunition for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
