Confirmation has emerged of a successful drone attack on the Borisoglebsk, Voronezh region of the russian federation, carried out on April 9th using long-range kamikaze drones.
Officially, as reported by the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the target of the strike was "an aviation plant."

Apparently, it was about the 711th Aviation Repair Plant, which is adjacent to the territory of the Aviation Training Center. And today, RFE/RL published satellite images of the strike itself.
In the new photo, it is clearly visible that one of the buildings of the enterprise suffered significant damage, with one of its sections collapsed.
Such devastation to a multi-story building clearly indicates a rather significant size of the combat payload, capable of causing substantial damage. Although we are not discussing the complete disabling of the enterprise's facilities, targeting its critical areas could lead to the suspension of its technological cycles or a reduction in production volume.
According to available information, the 711th Aircraft Repair Plant was engaged in the repair and maintenance of air-to-air missiles such as:
- R-27, R-73, R-33 air-to-air missiles;
- Kh-25, Kh-58 air-to-surface missiles;
- Guidance equipment for Kh-55 and Kh-22 cruise missiles;
- R-844M, R-845M ground radars and other systems of flights` support.
Also, quite indicative is the strike itself, as it involves an approximate range of over 300 km. And in this purely hypothetical zone, there are a sufficient number of quite interesting targets for strikes. Not to mention that the range of some truly powerful drone attacks, as demonstrated by Alabuga, shows that 1200 km is not the limit of capabilities.
