The #Kazan_Aviation_Plant remains the only facility in #Russia capable of partially compensating for the loss of strategic aviation resulting from #Ukraine’s special operation “#Pavutyna” (“#Spiderweb”).
Despite the scale of investment, production output remains low. In 2023, the plant delivered only two upgraded #Tu_160M and #Tu_160M2 aircraft to the #Russian Ministry of Defence.
#Ukraine's #Pavutyna operation: 18 months planning, 41 Russian bombers hit; photos
#SSU 1st transported #FPV #drones to #Russia, then mobile wooden crates
On Russian territory, drones were concealed under roofs of the crates, mounted on lorries
At designated time, the roofs were remotely opened and the drones took off to strike #RussianBombers.
