Footage captured a Ukrainian drone strike on the Iskra defense electronics plant in Ulyanovsk, Russia, located approximately 860 km from the Ukrainian front line. The facility, which belongs to Russia's Almaz-Antey defense conglomerate, manufactures electronic components for radar systems, communications equipment, and military hardware, including parts used in Kh-59M2/M2A guided missiles.

An FP-5 "Flamingo" missile struck the JSC "FNVC "Titan-Barricades"" plant in Volgograd. The Titan-Barricades factory, located approximately 400 kilometres from the Ukrainian border, is reportedly one of Russia's most secure and important defense manufacturing facilities.

The Ufa oil refinery was reportedly attacked.

A powerful explosion occurred today at the Russian Avangard plant in Sterlitamak. According to early reports, it erupted in the nitro-unit of the facility, and windows were shattered in neighboring buildings.

The Avangard plant is tied to Russia’s military industry: it manufactures parts for multiple rocket launcher systems.

Ukraine just got a lot closer to acquiring the Swedish-made Gripen, a much sought-after fighter jet built for war with Russia.

Ukraine and Sweden signed a letter of intent on Wednesday to export up to 150 JAS 39 Gripen E fighter jets to Kyiv, a major potential arms acquisition that would dramatically help modernize the country's air force.

The Ukrainian Air Force primarily operates a fleet of aging Soviet-designed aircraft, though it has gradually acquired Western fighters, including the American-made F-16 and the French Mirage.

The Gripen, manufactured by Swedish aerospace and defense giant Saab, is widely regarded as an ideal fighter jet for Ukraine. The jet is designed to operate from austere airstrips, requires minimal maintenance, and was built to fight and survive against Russian-style threats.
