- The Ukrainian Defense Forces have hit the Krasnozavodsk chemical plant near Moscow, which will affect the production of warheads for the Shaheds and the supply of ammunition to the Russian army.
- Alexander Musienko noted that strikes on enemy military facilities and improvement of the air defense system are effective ways to counter Russian attacks.
On July 7, the Defense Forces struck the Krasnozavodsk Chemical Plant near Moscow, where, in particular, warheads for the Shaheds are produced. In addition, the enterprise is an important link in providing the Russian army with ammunition.
The destruction of such a plant is one of the most effective ways to counter Russian attacks. This was told to 24 Kanal by a serviceman of the Troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Musienko, noting that in general there are two ways to combat air threats.
How will the attack on the plant affect the enemy's plans?
The first way to combat enemy attacks is to improve the air defense system. Here we can talk about increasing the number of mobile fire teams, about constant work with partners to obtain more resources in the fight against the “Shaheds”.
In addition, there is proactive work – when we strike the enemy's military facilities in order to reduce their capabilities. We see reports from experts that Russia is increasing production, in particular of the “Shakheds,” the serviceman emphasized.
For this, the aggressor country requires certain components, raw materials, gunpowder. Of course, the entire production structure is not concentrated in just one enterprise. There is a whole network that is responsible for the production of various elements, from which drones are then assembled.
Therefore, the withdrawal of one of the links in the production process will certainly have consequences. At the very least, we can talk about a slowdown in production and failure to achieve the primary goals in production plans, – noted Alexander Musienko.
Slowing down the process will lead to Russia not being able to produce Shaheds as quickly and in the required quantity. Accordingly, we can expect a reduction in drones during attacks on Ukraine.
Let us recall that the Krasnozavodsk Chemical Plant specializes in industrial and military chemistry. They manufacture explosives and components for ammunition. This is an important link in the technological chain of supplying the Russian army.
