The spokesperson of the Ukrainian Volunteer Army – South and Chairman of the Public Council at the Odesa Regional Administration, Serhii Bratchuk, announced that Ukrainian special services had executed a successful operation in Taganrog.
“Tonight, the Ukrainian special services carried out a successful operation with the use of UAVs, and were struck by the PJSC Beriev Aircraft Company in the city of Taganrog,” Bratchuk said.
"Aviation factory, it has a multitude of military products, but perhaps the most interesting is the modernization of the A-50 to the A-50U, those very expensive and very important aircraft for the russian Aerospace Forces (RAF), two of which have already been shot down. Such powerful attacks can seriously disrupt the work of the plant, and for quite a long time," he added.
The Taganrog Aviation Plant is recognized for its involvement in the construction and maintenance of various military transport aircraft, including Il-76, A-50, Il-78, among others. Additionally, the plant has contributed to the production of strategic bombers like Tu-95, Tu-142, and more.
Also, at the aircraft factory, they manufacture Be-200 amphibious aircraft. Interestingly, according to The Military Balance 2023, there is currently only one Be-200 in active service with the russian Armed Forces, assigned to the naval aviation of the russian Navy.
