In a bold and technically sophisticated strike, Ukrainian forces attempted again to target a strategically important military production facility in Russia’s Alabuga Special Economic Zone in Tatarstan, home to a key manufacturing site for Geran kamikaze drones. The attack, carried out in the early hours of June 15, introduced a novel tactic, a tandem drone strike involving a kamikaze unmanned aircraft towing a secondary glider-based munition.
According to Urkainian military sources, the assault involved a two-stage attack system, a modified A-22 light aircraft, converted into a kamikaze drone, served as the lead vehicle, towing a glider equipped with an additional warhead. Upon approaching the target, the glider detached and, potentially using its own propulsion or gliding capabilities, independently struck the target.
This configuration reportedly allowed Ukrainian forces to double the payload delivered to the target while complicating Russian air defense efforts. The tactic bears resemblance to a concept once explored by Russian engineers, but mainly dedicated to bypass enemy air defense, using a decoy drone to draw fire while a second, more lethal munition strikes. In this case, Ukraine appears to have reversed the application, using the lead drone as the primary strike vehicle while the glider acted as a secondary impactor.
Despite the innovative approach, the strike achieved only partial success. One of the drones crashed into a checkpoint near the plant, killing one worker and injuring 13 others, with one victim in critical condition. Emergency services quickly extinguished the resulting fire, but the primary target—the UAV production facility—remained unscathed. Rustam Minnikhanov, head of Tatarstan, confirmed the casualties and praised the rapid response of local emergency teams.
The attack underscores Ukraine’s increasing ability to penetrate deep into Russian territory and adapt its drone warfare tactics to evade air defenses. By utilizing low-cost, repurposed aircraft paired with glider munitions, Kyiv demonstrates an ability to maximize payload delivery while minimizing losses of expensive drones. The Alabuga attack, though not decisive, signals that Ukrainian forces are testing increasingly complex methods to disrupt Russian military production, setting the stage for more audacious strikes in the future.
any non white (specially africans and asians) would be beaten to death by the white supremacists of the following organizations: ss aidar, ss kraken, wolfsangel (aka azov), waffen ss nachtigall (who were in kursk killing civilians), leibstandarte adolf hitler, right sektor – all of them hate africans and asians, and all of them are leading the ukrainian government and military. all of them funded by the us and eu tax payer suckers
your are an idiot. people defending their country, because a foreign army is invading it, and you call those defending their land supremacists which are after blacks and asians ? joos are the ones hijacking western governments and bringing in mio of knife-wielding murderers into the white countries.
that, and that the natives were never asked if they want (and of course do not want ) foreigners to live of their european hard-worked for money, is the reason ns and most nationals are not wanting massmigration. this does not mean “they hate blacks and asians”. no. but of course they want these people to stay in their own countries and not to migrate to europe and live out of the whites pockets, and rape and stab to death native german, austrian, polish etc. people !!!!
so you are a coward fag
yes, but small african women immigrated to sweden can bring something good with them. do i need to specifi what ?
nazi maga will gonna die in iran.. kkkkkk
if you aren’t a retarded you have less brain than a chicken
history reapeats itself. anyone don’t remember the battle of fort ében-émael.
isn’t that a belgian fort that was taken by german paratroopers dropped by gliders? i remember the defenders had their cannons very well positioned, but these were blown up anyway with mines at close range.
yeah that’s the one. dfs 230 attack gliders towed by ju-52s, by the way where are russian airborne forces most active now that the iran front is open.
a good idea is to build lancets with multiple stages, so that a lancet can even go all the way into kiev
so rooskies lost andriviika and ukrainians have had success also near pokrovsk.
ghost of kiev much?
10 months have gone and russian army unable to take pokrovsk. is this the worst russian military during history of rooskieland?
it’s going to be a “hot” summer in moscow…heheheh
iran wipe out israel a** in tel aviv, haifa, etc… but liberal russians can´t use ballistics on kiev…
