• Ukraine carried out drone strikes on an aircraft plant in southern Russia, reports say.
    • The plant is reportedly refurbishing A-50 spy planes, which play a crucial role in Russia’s operations over Ukraine.
    • A Ukrainian lawmaker claimed that an A-50 aircraft at the plant was damaged.

Ukraine conducted drone strikes on an aircraft plant in the southern Russian city of Taganrog overnight on Friday, reports say.

The Beriev Aircraft Plant is reported to be refurbishing and modernizing A-50s, Russia’s crucial spy planes, after Ukraine shot down two of the valuable but scarce aircraft, the think tank the Institute for the Study of War said.

Geolocated footage shows an explosion taking place near the plant, and satellite imagery appears to show damage at the facility.

    This is starting to sound like some RTS game that is causing me too much stress.

    “Well that didn’t got as well as planned. I’ll just hold this ground”

    “Wait how the fuck did I just lose all my troops they were doing fine a minute ago. I’ll just rebuild them it’s okay”

    “Ohhh shit my factories just got destroyed I’ll have to rebuild them quick”

    If Putin is anything like 10 year old me this is where he starts crying. Just before he run out of resources and start complaining the computer is a fucking cheater and moves too fast.
