Russian forces continue daily precision strikes with drones and missiles on the Ukrainian military facilities throughout the country. On the night of October 2, Russian strikes were reported in Krivyi Rih, Kherson and Mykolaiv regions. Russian forces struck the Ukrainian military deployed on the Snake Island and Ukrainian warehouse was destroyed near Kupyansk.
On the morning of October 2, large explosions thundered in the Kharkiv region. According to preliminary reports, a military unit located in the south-east of Kharkiv was struck. This is presumably the military base of the AFU located near the Rogan railway station, where several hangars with armored vehicles that were repaired at the Kharkov Armored Plant and stored for further transfer to the front line were destroyed. The military facilities were supposed to be protected by the 2315th radio engineering battalion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, deployed on its military base located about 5 kilometers from the destroyed warehouses. The 3022nd anti-aircraft missile division of the AFU armed with S-300 systems, which is aimed at covering the industrial zone of Kharkiv, is supposed to be located in the same area. However, the air defence forces of Ukraine failed to intercept Russian strikes.
The Kharkov Armored Plant was struck by Russian missiles several times over the past weeks. Russian strikes on September 16 and 17 resulted in destruction of the main workshops of the plant and the neighboring concrete plant, which was used for storage of repaired armored vehicles. Damage was confirmed by the footage:

On the night of October 1, another wave of Russian strikes hit the last large working workshop of the Kharkov Armored Plant. Despite claims of Ukrainian officials that the attack was thwarted by the brave Ukrainian air defence forces, all Russian missiles reached the target and the plant received significant damage.
As a result of the recent Russian strikes, the Kharkov Armored plant was likely put out of order. All its main facilities were destroyed, and the equipment was badly damaged. The Ukrainian military will not be able to use the plant for the repair of its equipment for a long time.
who is left to repair the repair facilities let alone armored vehicles.
all of nato. you forget the enormous number of active duty troops through legal fictions (they sign two papers) are now claimed to be “only” mercs. complete ridiculousness, but no worries, the russian mod has covered for nato for 20 months now. even after the capture of german active duty troops fighting in their german leopard 2a6 tank that was destroyed. hmmmm. must have been mercs, even if the guy dying claimed otherwise and had paperwork to prove it speaking in german…
all good info, being facetious.
a russian general said it would take about 400 (300-500) guided bombs to take out the facility because it is built in a way that it’s mostly bunker.
we’ll find out if the plant is destroyed when erdogan complains he can’t get any more engines for his son in laws bayraktar and avinci drones. right now it just foreplay, nothing serious. looks good for domestic consumption though, the wag the dog war continues.
