Drones from the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) attacked an experimental plant in the village of Redkino, Tver region, Ukrinform reports.
The Redkino Experimental Plant is a unique facility within Russia's military-industrial complex, specializing in complex low-tonnage chemistry.
According to available data, the facility produces unique rocket fuel components. This includes "Decilin-M," a substance used to fuel Kh-55 and Kh-101 cruise missiles.
This is not standard aviation kerosene, but a specific synthetic compound with high density and energy content, allowing compact turbofan engines (such as the R95-300) to operate for extended periods and ensure ultra-long-range flight capabilities.
Additionally, the plant manufactures special fuel additives for Russian military hardware and aircraft.
"Following successful drone strikes, a massive fire broke out on the plant's territory," a source told the agency.
The consequences of the attack and the extent of the damage to the enemy's production facilities are currently being clarified.
It is worth noting that the production cycle for "Decilin-M" is extremely complex and requires unique equipment. Consequently, damage to the Redkino production facilities could create a logistical "bottleneck" for missile strikes that cannot be quickly compensated for by other oil refineries.
Earlier, the SBU showed successful strikes on Russian airfields.
