Kopytko: SSU strikes at vulnerable points of enemy missile production - serious blow to russian military-industrial complex

The new strikes by the Security Service of Ukraine's drones on a plant that manufactures russian missiles are a serious blow to the enemy's military-industrial complex. This will significantly slow down the production of weapons that hit Ukrainian cities. Military expert Oleksii Kopytko writes about this.

"By striking a military plant near Tver, the SSU has once again demonstrated how Ukrainian sanctions differ from Western sanctions and how much progress Ukrainian weapons have made. The service analyzed the vulnerabilities in the missile production chain and reached one of them," Kopytko emphasizes.

The expert believes that the SSU's new strikes give Ukraine a bargaining chip in the negotiation process. "The SSU is one of the main negotiators on the Ukrainian side. And it is throwing up new arguments. Negotiating arguments are complex. It is important to keep arguing. And the most reasonable thing for Western partners is to invest as much as possible in those who effectively convey arguments," Kopytko writes.

The expert emphasizes that russia is suffering losses in military production, which are artificial. "The plant is important because it is a manufacturer of fuel components for Kh-55, Kh-101 and Kalibr cruise missiles. Given that missile strikes from the fall of 2025 will use products almost directly from the assembly line, the loss of any element of the production cycle will inevitably lead to disruptions and pauses," Kopytko summarizes.

As a reminder, earlier it became known that SSU hit a russian plant that produces fuel components for enemy missiles. Drones of the SSU's Alpha Special Operations Center struck a pilot plant in the village of Redkino, Tver Oblast. After successful hits by the SSU drones, a large-scale fire broke out on the territory of the plant.
