Ukraine says it struck plant making parts for Russian military aircraft engines—a Snizhne factory Russia has used since 2014

Ukraine's 413th Separate Raid Regiment of the Unmanned Systems Forces carried out a strike on the Snizhne Machine-Building Plant in occupied Donetsk Oblast in September, as reported by Euromaidan Press. The plant, which has been under Russian occupation since 2014, is known for producing engine components for attack aircraft and combat helicopters.

The strike, which took place in collaboration with other Defense Forces units, is part of Ukraine's ongoing campaign of long-range attacks on Russian military targets, particularly as Russia escalates its winter campaign of strikes against Ukraine's energy infrastructure. The plant's significance lies in its role as a supplier of aircraft parts, which is crucial for maintaining Russia's attack jets and helicopters.
