According to Andriy Kovalenko, the head of the Center for Countering Disinformation, "something unknown" hit the Progress plant in Russia's Cheboksary, which is involved in the missile production cycle.
About Progress plant
The plant manufactures electromechanical drives, hydraulic systems, and control units for heavy combat equipment — from self-propelled howitzers to Iskander missile systems.
According to Kovalenko, the plant supplies guidance, stabilization, and flight control systems, which are integrated into the strike platform at the assembly stage. It produces Kometa-type modules, which support GLONASS/GPS operation and are protected against signal jamming.
Kometa modules are used in:
- Iskander-M operational-tactical missiles;
- Kalibr-type cruise missiles;
- Kh-101;
- Kh-69;
- glide bombs (UMPK);
- Orlan-10 drones;
- Lancet;
- the new Shaheds.
"As of now, the Progress plant is ceasing operations indefinitely. The Russians are pretending that everything was shot down," Kovalenko added.
Explosions on Russian territory
Ukraine's Defense Forces, Defense Intelligence, and Security Service regularly carry out strikes on Russian territory. The focus is on military and industrial infrastructure facilities: oil refineries, defense enterprises, warehouses, railway hubs, and logistics centers.
The attacks aim to weaken the enemy, complicate the supply of weapons to the front, and undermine Russia's economic potential.
On June 7, a major fire broke out at one of the plants in the Kstovo area following a drone attack.
