According to the defense ministry, this is one of the enemy&#8217;s most important missile training grounds, where the latest weapons, including the Oreshnik, are tested.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result of the attack, a technical facility for servicing medium-range ballistic missiles, an assembly building, and a logistics warehouse were damaged there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On February 9, information appeared about the destruction<\/span> <b>of a UAV warehouse<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">in the Rostov region of the Russian Federation, as a result of which three containers with FPV drones, about 6 thousand drones and components were destroyed, and several containers with UAVs were damaged.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few days later, the Defense Forces used Flamingo missiles to strike<\/span> <b>an arsenal of complex storage of missiles<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>, ammunition, and explosives<\/strong> near the settlement of Kotluban in the Volgograd region.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis is one of the largest ammunition storage sites for the Russian army,\u201d the Ministry of Defense assured.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> In Michurinsk, Tambov region, <b>the Progress plant<\/b> , which is involved in supplying the occupiers, <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was hit<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
