Saransk, Republic of Mordovia, Russia

In Saransk, drones struck the Fiber Optic Systems plant. The enterprise is a key element in the field of modern military communications and specializes in the production of fiber optic cables and communication systems for the enemy army, in particular for fiber optic drones.

ASTRA also reports hitting the plant. According to the agency, citing eyewitnesses, another building is on fire a few kilometers from the enterprise.

Tula

The drones attacked the Joint Stock Company Instrument Design Bureau. The latter is one of the flagships of Russia's military-industrial complex and specializes in the development of modern weapons systems, including:

• anti-tank complexes;
• small arms;
• combat modules.

The products of the Instrument Design Bureau are also actively used against Ukraine.

The main Russian developer of multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) - the Splav research and production association - was also attacked in Tula. It was here that they created:

• Grad;
• Uragan;
• Smerch.

According to Kovalenko, Splav has close ties with the Rostec concern and remains one of the priority manufacturers of weapons for the Russian army.

Strikes on Russia

After the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, explosions on Russian territory have become more frequent. Often, these are drone attacks that hit military-industrial complex facilities, oil depots, and other infrastructure related to the war.

For example, on the night of May 6, drones attacked Moscow, the Moscow region, and four regions of the country. Russia also complained about drone attacks today.

Last week, drones attacked the Strela plant in the Bryansk region.
