Drones operated by the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU), the Special Operations Forces (SOF) and Defence Intelligence (DIU) attacked the Sverdlov plant in the city of Dzerzhinsk in Russia's Nizhny Novgorod Oblast on the night of 19-20 October. This facility, part of the Russian defence industry, is subject to EU and US sanctions.
Source: Ukrainska Pravda source in the special services
Details: The source noted that this plant produces explosives, aircraft and artillery munitions, aircraft bombs, including guided aerial bombs, warheads for anti-tank guided missiles, and warheads for air defence missile systems for the Russian Armed Forces.
The plant is situated 900 km (approx. 560 miles) away from the Ukrainian border.
Quote: "The SSU has enhanced sanctions against the Sverdlov plant.
We added drone sanctions, which yield immediate effects, to the economic ones. We will continue to work on diminishing the enemy's military capabilities."

At least 7 explosions confirmed by a resident with footage. Hopefully the factory is done

US should lift restrictions. There is no need to risk Ukraine lives when the same effect could be achieved by using of the shelf guided munition.
Locations of most of these facilities are well known. They could be wiped out in one day. Very hard to fight when you don’t have munition.

I love that they are not afraid to go deep.
