Important targets struck in onslaught

- By John Varga

UKRAINE has launched a massive drone attack on Russia, striking several key targets.

A swarm of the devices headed towards Moscow and its surrounding region, with some penetrating air defence systems to inflict devastating damage.

Video images captured the moment one unmanned aerial vehicle zeroed in on one of the targets, a major drone-producing factory.

The UAV can be seen diving at speed towards the plant in Dubna, located some 70 miles north of the capital. At the moment of impact, a massive explosion occurs, with a giant ball of flames and smoke billowing skywards.

The production facility has reportedly been mass-producing Sirius and Orion drones for Vladimir Putin's army since 2023.

It specialises in the manufacture of large drones, and the production of aviation and missile technology.
