According to Russian media reports, the drone, according to them, simply fell near the Tambov powder factory, while no damage was recorded. At the same time, according to the information of the Main Directorate of Intelligence, on the night of January 19, drones attacked the factory itself, which specializes in the production of gunpowder for weapons and ammunition.
Sources in the special service claim that the consequences of the attack on the gunpowder plant are still being determined, but in the city of Klintsi "significant damage to the military facility" was reported.
"Putin has concentrated the most EW and anti-aircraft defense means on Ukrainian occupied territories, military facilities on the territory of the Russian Federation will continue to be developed," the source said.
Later, the governor of the Bryansk region, Bogomaz, announced that the air defense forces of the Russian Ministry of Defense shot down two Ukrainian drones in the Bryansk region.
Officially, the Ukrainian authorities and the military are currently refraining from commenting on these strikes on the territory of the Russian Federation. In the comments under the publication, the Russians express surprise at how the drones were able to get over the territory of the aggressor country.
International expert and veteran of the "Aidar" battalion Dykiy shared his opinion about the capabilities of Ukrainian drones: "This does not mean that they look like this. But I mean tactical and technical characteristics. That is, it is a long-range drone that can fly to more than a thousand kilometers and hit a target there according to pre-entered coordinates. It is actually of the same class of car," he said on the air.
The expert also emphasized that this is a "bright example of public-private cooperation", since these weapons are not from Ukraine's allies.
