In the early hours of January 20, the city of Kazan (Republic of Tatarstan, Russia) experienced another series of explosions. Unidentified drones attacked military facilities, Andriy Kovalenko, Head of the Center for Countering Disinformation, reports.
"These are not the first attacks, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to secure Russia's skies," Kovalenko stated.
Ukrainian expert reminded that the city is home to several important aviation enterprises that play a key role in Russia's military-industrial complex.
Among them is the Kazan Aviation Plant, named after S.P. Gorbunov, which is involved in the production of strategic bombers Tu-22M3 and Tu-160, as well as their modernization and repair. "The plant is actively expanding, particularly to service these aircraft," said Kovalenko.
According to the Head of the Center for Countering Disinformation, another significant enterprise is the Kazan Helicopter Plant, which specializes in producing helicopters for military and civilian purposes.
The city also hosts the Kazan State-Owned Gunpowder Plant, which manufactures gunpowder and explosives for aviation munitions and missiles, such as Kalibr and Iskander, Kovalenko added.
