On the night of November 9, Ukraine’s Defense Forces struck the Morozov Plant near St. Petersburg. According to the General Staff, three production workshops at the facility, which is involved in manufacturing components for Russian missile systems, were damaged.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported this.
The General Staff said the plant produces explosives and had developed solid propellant for the engines of Topol-M missile systems.
In addition, the facility manufactures and supplies solid-propellant charges for 9Kh820 engines used in 9M723 Iskander-M ballistic missiles.
The plant is part of Russia’s state-owned Rostec corporation and is one of the links in the country’s military-industrial complex involved in ballistic missile production.
According to the General Staff, three production workshops were damaged in the overnight strike. The extent of the damage is still being assessed.
The General Staff said strikes on such facilities are aimed at reducing Russia’s military and economic potential and complicating the production of missiles used to attack Ukraine.
