Russian forces attacked drone production facilities in Kyiv.

The Russian Ministry of Defense reported the conduct of high-precision strikes at night weapons long-range and strike dronesThe main targets of the attack were military-industrial complex enterprises in Kyiv, which specialize in the production of medium- and long-range unmanned aerial vehicles for the Ukrainian military.

The Defense Ministry's statement said:

Ukrainian military industry enterprises in Kyiv, involved in the production and storage of long- and medium-range unmanned aerial vehicles, were damaged.

According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Kyiv-71 and Burevestnik facilities, as well as military airfield infrastructure in the Kyiv region, were damaged. Large fires and plumes of smoke from secondary detonations of the munitions were observed at the impact sites.

Simultaneously, Russian troops attacked port infrastructure in the Odessa region. Strikes targeted the ports of Odessa, Chornomorsk, and Izmail. The goal of the operation was to disrupt the logistics of delivering military supplies and fuel and lubricants to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Regional authorities confirmed the attack on port infrastructure the previous evening. However, the Ukrainian side has not commented on the Russian Ministry of Defense's statements regarding the destruction of production facilities. drones in the capital

Earlier, the Russian Armed Forces struck a power substation in the Sumy region used by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Unfortunately, they have a lot of small assembly plants that can be located, and the job of assembling a product isn't particularly complicated...
The problem cannot be solved this way...

[rocket757]

And again, everything is leading to the fact that everything will be decided on the battlefield!!!
Good luck to our soldiers

[pudelartemon]

We need to rid them of the Drone swarm. It doesn't matter how, humanism doesn't matter.

[rocket757]

If you think about it, how can you get rid of what they are given from various sides, in no small quantity...

[cat Crush]

If you think about it... There are options, but to implement them, we ourselves will have to get rid of the swarm (swarms) of kamikaze drones.

[rocket757]

Again and again... any big, serious, and certainly critical problem can only be solved by a comprehensive method...
And again the question... how are things with this COMPLEX? Do we have what we need, how much we need, and when we need it???

[Frank Muller]

This is a military secret. And a closely guarded one at that. And for some, it's just an "open secret."

[Alexey Lantukh]

I think a nuclear strike on Ukraine would put everything in its place. At the same time, NATO also needs to be warned that the companies on the list already announced will be targeted.

[rocket757]

Not our method, that's one... and then there are two, three, and who knows how many more like that...

[savage]

Everything will be decided on the ground, and for this we need a general mobilization.

[rocket757]

General mobilization... what exactly/specifically is meant by this concept?
If you recall, this topic is not new, it has been discussed and discussed... and will continue to be discussed...

Hi
It's all clear why, as Peskov explained: "Because it all began as a special military operation. It continues as a war, because behind Kiev stand Berlin, Paris, The Hague, Oslo, and, unfortunately, Washington..."

[rocket757]

The period of "awareness and acceptance" of objective reality has dragged on...
Why is this so... this has also been discussed more than once, but... in general, everything, if not completely murky, is then put on display something that is pointless to discuss, nonsense, secondary...
And then... we'll see.

That's right, that's what I'm saying, that we are taking a defensive position, continuing to give up the initiative.

[rocket757]

In the USSR, the concept of defense, including air defense, was broad and included not only the process of repelling an attack, but also retaliatory strikes against the aggressor!!!
The necessary strike forces were always ready for this...
Everyone clearly understood that passive defense and a weak reaction to the actions of the aggressor would not lead to anything good.

[savage]

Without mobilization, the war cannot be won. Those who are against it think that everything will be resolved by itself with a victory with small forces at the front, but recent events show that they will strike across the entire territory, and with significant force.

[rocket757]

Everything is correct, such WARS, against such an enemy, are won only when the WHOLE WORLD gathers together!
Now here's the question... how do we resolve this issue, who and when will be able to raise OUR ENTIRE WORLD to a sacred and merciless???

[Horon]

The war cannot be won without mobilization.

Victory is achieved by the army according to military plans and relies on a strong rear. Remove any component from this formula and you can forget about achieving victory. The main problem now is the military plans, followed by a weakening rear. How does mobilization (see the concept of "Military Mobilization of the State") solve all this?
How will the fact that you'll start living on ration cards and using only public transportation, as well as other restrictions, affect the VPR's decisions or the emergence of high-tech industries in Russia?

The minus-takers think that everything will be resolved by itself with a victory by small forces at the front,

So, are you proposing a renewed concentration of troops directly on the front lines to improve Ukrop reporting on the number of Russian casualties from long-range strikes? Are you ready to become missile and drone fodder yourselves? Perhaps the problem isn't so much the number of troops on the front lines, but the lack of effective countermeasures to long-range strikes in the face of complete transparency of troop movements under current conditions?

...but recent events show that they will strike across the entire territory and with significant force

And how will mobilization fix this? Forget about accelerating the front's advance with fresh meat—that's nonsense.

[savage]

Horon mobilization is needed to open new directions, to utilize all their reserves, and then they won't be able to plug the holes, since their mobilization potential is significantly smaller. You're complaining here that life will get worse; then you shouldn't have started this.

[Horon]

Horon mobilization is needed to open new directions

How? Considering:

The main problem now is the VPR, followed by the weakening rear

You're complaining here that life will get worse, then you shouldn't have started this

The way things are going, that's for sure. And whoever asks us about this? You'll also ask us about raising the retirement age and joining the WTO.

The problem cannot be solved this way...

Andrey Bezrukov correctly formulated the current situation:
"For the past ten years, leading Western think tanks have been actively developing mechanisms for using small steps—creating "faits accomplis," each of which, individually, is deemed by the adversary as not deserving a harsh, forceful response. Relying on the results of game theory simulations conducted in these think tanks, the West is exploiting the Russian elite's belief in the supposedly endless nature of our resources and the resilience of our society, which allows them to repeatedly postpone tough, risky, and unpopular decisions.
This "slow boiling of the frog" gives the West the opportunity to steer the Ukrainian conflict in a direction that is advantageous to itself, avoiding unacceptable risks."

[rocket757]

And yet... our elts are not a homogeneous formation. It doesn't matter for what reasons the division occurs between those who seem to be ours/for our country and those who can be clearly defined as... not ours, not at all.
Although, even in our society itself, not everything is so clear-cut... there is no complete unity, but a significant part remains such that we can call on our country!
All sorts of unrest and fluctuations are possible, but... we will always have more of OUR OWN, at least among the masses...
How it will be at the top... we need to keep a closer eye on it...

We need to be shooting around Kiev 24/7 so that the pot heads don't have a second of peace.

Russian forces struck Ukrainian military-industrial complex facilities producing drones.

How many times has this been done already?

This is information for the people, so they think the attacks will stop any minute now. It's a carrot, like the phrase "in response." At the same time, they immediately admit that the Ukrainians still have enough strength to allow us to take their blows in our rear, so prepare for the worst. A report for the sake of a report. The result is not because it's significant, but because it's required for propaganda.

Russian forces struck Ukrainian military-industrial complex drone production facilities in Kyiv.

So what? I think it's already obvious to everyone that even if all military production were moved to Ukraine, it wouldn't have any significant problems with weapons, drones, and the like. Because the West has already set up production facilities for these things all over its territory and in the Baltic states. And it's only increasing production and capacity. Everything it needs will flow freely to Ukraine.

[Montezuma]

Quote: Hand of the Eye

Everything that is needed in Ukraine will flow like a river...

To be more precise, not a river, but several streams. The only solution is to make every effort to shut down supply logistics. The ports are now being targeted again, but rail traffic also needs to be stopped. Diesel locomotives are being systematically removed from service, and the next step is likely to be to target Ukrenergo's key facilities to stop electric traction. There aren't many of these key facilities, and many have already been hit, with only six of the largest 750 kV substations. Once the order is given, it won't take long to disable them.

[Right hand of the eye]

Oh, how naive and short-sighted you are, Montezumka))).
If only they could deliver by sea... But Ukraine shares a vast land border with the so-called collective West. Even on limited sections of the front, when we encircle a populated area, we spend enormous amounts of resources to cut off supplies, secure a single road, and so on. And there, on the border between Ukraine and NATO's stooges, there are countless roads. Clearly, they can't all be sealed off. And destroyed bridges, railways, and the like are quickly repaired.

In Kyiv, two Ukrainian Armed Forces drone program facilities were targeted. The first is Aerodron, the developer of the heavy-duty, long-range E-300 Enterprise and D-80 Discovery unmanned aerial vehicles. The second is Fanplit, a private joint-stock company. According to the Ministry of Defense, it assembles and stores Fire Point-2 attack UAVs with a range of up to 200 kilometers, as well as components for their warheads. The facility was disguised as a civilian plywood and furniture production facility, which allowed it to conceal its purpose from intelligence and legally transport cargo under the guise of woodworking.

[Uh Neuhov]

Some should have been destroyed at the very stage of inception.

General Chereshnya began in 2022 as a volunteer organization, purchasing equipment and vehicles for the Ukrainian Armed Forces. In September 2023, it reoriented itself into a technology business producing UAVs. By adapting to the conditions of military conflict, strategic partnerships, localizing components, and utilizing underground production facilities, the company established drone production in various regions of Ukraine. The company maintains constant communication with the combat brigades of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (as of October 2025, with 60 brigades), allowing it to promptly incorporate improvements to the UAVs during the development of subsequent batches. In February 2026, it was selected by the US Department of Defense to participate in the $1,1 billion Drone Dominance Program.

[olboop]

Strikes against drone assembly sites can only be welcomed.

Strikes were carried out on the ports of Odessa, Chornomorsk and Izmail.

And in this case, it's most likely routine "harassing" strikes by a couple of drones, the results of which are being modestly kept silent.
