Ukrainian forces struck the VNIIR-Progress plant in Cheboksary. It is one of the key elements of Russia’s military-industrial complex, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The enterprise specializes in the production of GNSS receivers and antennas for GLONASS, GPS, and Galileo systems. These components are used in high-precision weapons, including kamikaze drones and missiles.
One strike on single plant, but its components power hundreds of systems
In particular, the plant manufactures “Kometa” adaptive antenna arrays used in Shahed-type drones and in cruise and ballistic missiles.
“These components are also integrated into unified planning and correction modules (UMPK) for aerial bombs,” the General Staff reported.
Russia uses bombs and other high-precision weapons to strike Ukraine, including civilian infrastructure.
In April, Russia used nearly 7,000 guided aerial bombs (KABs) against Ukraine’s Defense Forces. This is the second-highest monthly number of KABs since the start of the full-scale invasion. Only March saw more — 7,987, according to Ukraine's Defense Ministry.
Another target was infrastructure at the Kirishi oil refinery in Russia’s Leningrad Oblast. The strike caused a large-scale fire.
Both facilities directly support the Russian military, in weapons production and fuel logistics.
Different targets — one systematic campaign
Additionally, over the past day, Ukraine’s Defense Forces struck a field fuel depot near Vedmezhe (temporarily occupied Luhansk region), a command and observation post in Smilyve, and a Kasta radar station in Yelyseivka, Zaporizhzhia Oblast.
A logistics warehouse on the outskirts of Donetsk was also hit, further weakening Russian military supply lines at the front.
Earlier, Ukrainian Minister of Defense Mykhailo Fedorov stated that Ukraine inflicted large-scale Russian losses with 35,203 soldiers killed or seriously wounded in April. All strikes were confirmed with battlefield video footage, strengthening the evidentiary base for each elimination.
Russia has been unable to compensate for its losses through mobilization for five consecutive months, and this gap is only widening.
