The hit facility
The facility hit, about 900 kilometers from the border, is the Progress Rocket and Space Centre, one of the pillars of the Russian aerospace industry managed by Roscosmos. The plant produces the Soyuz-2 family launch vehicles used by Moscow to orbit military, reconnaissance, and telecommunications satellites. According to Kiev’s intelligence, the rockets manufactured at this facility are also used to deploy the Rassvet satellite constellation, the system Russia is developing as an alternative to the commercial Starlink network.
Air base also attacked
“Our long-range actions,” continued the Ukrainian president, “also reached the Savasleyka air base, where the launchers of the Russian missiles that strike our cities and villages are located, about 700 kilometers from Ukraine. Our plan of long-range attacks against Russia for this war is underway, and it is important that Russia’s military potential be reduced. Peace is needed, and this must be evident in Russia through concrete damage to specific facilities.”
