What is known about the Russian Special Forces University

The Russian Special Forces University, located in Gudermes (Chechnya), is a complex consisting of 95 buildings and facilities.

The university offers training programs in areas such as firearms training, tactical-special training, airborne and mountain operations, as well as training for security personnel and military journalists.

Drone attacks in Russia

Drones continuously target objects in Russia involved in the war in Ukraine. Recently, Ukrainian drones attacked military facilities at Russian distilleries.

The issue is that distilleries in Russia are used not only for alcohol production but also for manufacturing fuel for military purposes and explosives. This is why these facilities become targets for Ukrainian drones.

Additionally, on October 14, the Moscow region came under drone attack. Several regions in Russia were warned about the danger.
