The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi, has released a report on the results of a meeting held in May this year. The report states that long-range strike drones hit 58 targets in russia during the month.
"Military facilities were hit, and the capabilities of the aggressor's military industry were undermined. Targets included facilities producing explosives and attack drones," said Syrskyi about the strikes on targets in the enemy's deep rear.

For comparison, as of April, Syrskyi reported that DeepStrike assets had hit a total of 62 targets in russia. In March, 158 targets were reported to have been hit, but without specifying that they were exclusively on russian territory.
Speaking of long-range drone strikes in May, it's worth noting that between May 20 and 23, russians reported an attack involving over 1,000 drones, nearly 800 of which were recorded directly over russian territory.
Notably, several strikes targeted the newly built Kronstadt plant in Dubna, which produces Orion reconnaissance and combat drones, as well as russia's new Banderol missiles. Videos released following the strikes revealed a large-scale fire in one of the facility's workshops.
There were also attacks on the Energiya plant in the Lipetsk region, which is a supplier of important electronic components, including for the russian military industry.
We should also note the attacks on NPO Basalt and Shcheglovsky Val, which are involved in the production of unified gliding and correction modules, Bakhcha and Berezhok turrets, and other weapons.
Earlier Defense Express reported that Ukraine had conducted flight tests of indigenous multirotor reconnaissance UAVs.
