Defense Intelligence of Ukraine's drones delivered a precision strike on one of Russia's key petrochemical plants in Bashkortostan, according to the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine (HUR).
Yesterday, November 6, long-range Defense Intelligence of Ukraine strike drones hit the Sterlitamak Petrochemical Plant (SNHZ), located in Bashkortostan on the territory of Russia.
The plant is one of the key facilities of the Russian petrochemical complex and actively works to meet the needs of Russia's army.
This plant produces strategically important products for the Russian military sector: ionol, aviation gasoline, and synthetic polymers.
According to the HUR, after the Ukrainian drones hit the plant, a fire broke out in the agidol production workshop, an important additive to aviation fuel used by Russian aviation.
The destruction of such a facility has a significant impact on the logistics and production capabilities of the Russian military-industrial complex. The HUR operation was yet another confirmation that Ukraine is capable of hitting strategic enemy targets at a considerable distance.
Strikes on Russian factories
On the night of November 1, powerful explosions were heard in the Moscow region.
That day, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine successfully destroyed three lines of the strategic Koltsovy oil pipeline.
And on October 3, long-range drones of the Security Service of Ukraine struck one of Russia's leading oil refineries. This was Orsknefteorgsintez, located 1,400 km from the Ukrainian border.
