Drones attack Serpukhov near Moscow, air defense repair plant likely hit

Strikes targeted a facility restoring anti-aircraft missile systems

On the morning of October 22, drones attacked Serpukhov in the Moscow region of russia. The strike likely targeted the 75th arsenal, which repairs anti-aircraft missile systems. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine (Катерина Коваль), according to the portal PromPolitInform.

On the morning of October 22, drones attacked Serpukhov in the Moscow region of russia, where explosions occurred and a missile alert was declared. The enemy devices may have targeted the 75th arsenal, which repairs Buk and S-300V anti-aircraft missile systems.

This enterprise plays a critical role in restoring equipment that protects russian troops and strategic assets from air strikes. A potential disabling of the arsenal could significantly complicate the maintenance of the combat readiness of russian air defense.

Large-scale attack on russian regions

Serpukhov became just one of the targets of a massive drone raid that has been ongoing since night in several regions of the neighboring state. Explosions were recorded in the Lipetsk, Tula, Kursk, and Belgorod regions, and the leadership of the russian capital reported a significant number of intercepted targets on the approach to the city.

At the same time, the russian military leadership is trying to strengthen the protection of strategic enterprises by deploying numerous air defense positions around weapons manufacturing plants. Despite this, the scale of air operations continues to grow, covering dozens of regions.
