Ukrainian long-range drones struck the strategic Raduga plant named after Bereznyak in Dubna, located 130 kilometers north of Moscow, overnight on 28 May, according to informed sources cited by Ukrainska Pravda and the General Staff.

Russian Telegram channels reported on the morning of 28 May that Ukrainian drones attacked a drone development facility in Dubna. Local residents in the footage, published by the channels, said “Kronshtadt got hit again,” a facility which is reportedly a key part of Russia’s defense industry, supporting with large-scale UAV manufacturing.

The Ukrainian General Staff reported, citing its sources, that the Ukrainian drones bypassed air defenses protecting the Russian capital and hit the assembly and equipment workshops of the enterprise, which are currently on fire.

The Raduga plant is part of the Tactical Missile Weapons corporation and manufactures cruise missiles of various classes: air-to-air, air-to-ground, and ground-to-ground, according to the General Staff. The facility produces Kh-101/555, Kh-69, and Kh-59MK missiles, which Russia uses to terrorize civilians and civilian objects in Ukraine.

The General Staff reported that the plant is part of Kronshtadt JSC. This company specializes in unmanned aviation systems and manufactures Orion, Inokhodets, Molniya, Grom, Termit, Helios, and Sirius drones, as well as ground control complexes.

Ukrainian forces also struck Angstrem JSC in the Moscow Oblast overnight. Hits were recorded in the target area. The company develops and produces microelectronic components widely used by Russia’s military-industrial complex enterprises.

Ukrainian Armed Forces’ Unmanned Systems Forces successfully attacked the Dmitrievsky plant in Russia’s Ivanovo Oblast on 26 May. Explosions were recorded on the plant’s territory. The enterprise produces organic chemical substances that serve as components for explosives and gunpowder, as well as additives for rocket and aviation fuel.
