Ukrainian forces struck the Atlant Aero drone production facility in Taganrog
The strikes hit the Atlant Aero plant and the Beriev Aircraft Company. Atlant Aero focuses on the development of Orion UAVs and FPV drones.
The SBU's Alpha Special Operations Center, together with units of the Ukrainian Navy's forces and equipment group, struck the production buildings of the Atlant Aero plant.
The plant is involved in the production of Orion drones, electronic warfare complexes, and digital integration systems for strike FPV drones and loitering munitions.
The destruction of the plant will reduce the production of UAVs and weaken the technical capabilities of the occupiers to conduct reconnaissance and strike operations using drones.
