On the night of 29-30 December, the Security and Defence Forces of Ukraine launched a powerful attack on military facilities in Russia. In total, more than 70 drones of various types were used in the attack, the publication's interlocutors from the Ukrainian special services said.
According to them, most of explosions were in Bryansk, where a UAV assault group attacked the SILICON EL plant, which is one of the largest manufacturers of electronics for Russian military equipment.
In particular, this plant produces electronics for Russia's long-range precision-guided missiles and Pantsyr anti-aircraft missile systems.
In addition, explosions occurred at a number of military facilities in Belgorod, Tula, Tver and Moscow.
