On the night of 13 November, the Ukrainian Navy carried out a missile strike on three sites linked to the production, storage and repair of Russian unmanned aerial vehicles in Rostov-on-Don. The attack used the coastal missile system “Neptune”.
This was reported by Ukraine’s General Staff.
Ukrainian forces hit the production of tactical-level strike drones and a drone warehouse belonging to the Russian company “Ionos”.
Another target was the service centre of the company “Aero-Heat”, where drones for the Russian army are repaired and serviced. “Aero-Heat” produces Veles strike and reconnaissance FPV drones. The company’s main production is located in Khabarovsk, while its service centre operates in Rostov-on-Don.
The General Staff noted that striking production, storage and repair facilities is expected to affect the supply of drones to Russian forces: some drones will not be produced, some were in storage, and damaged aircraft will require repairs.
