We are talking about the Redkinsky pilot plant in the Tver region.

On the night of June 27, Ukrainian drones hit the Redkinsky experimental plant in the Tver region of the Russian Federation, which produces fuel for fighter aircraft. As a result of the impact, the pipeline, roof and building of one of the plant’s workshops were damaged.

According to Newsweek , the Russian plant, which is located 620 miles (997 kilometers) from the Ukrainian border, was attacked by 4 drones.

The publication, citing a message from local authorities in the Tver region, reported that Russian air defense shot down all targets and “prevented the attack of drones,” but there were no comments on the situation at the plant.

“At about 4 a.m. on June 27, in the Konakovsky municipal district of the Tver Region, air defense missile systems on duty of the Russian Ministry of Defense repelled another UAV attack. Specialists from the State Emergency Service continue to work at the site where the UAV debris fell. There were no casualties,” the message says.

A blow to a pilot plant in Russia

As you know, the Redkinsky pilot plant is one of the largest chemical production facilities in the Tver region. It produces more than 40 types of products for various purposes. And on the company’s website it is noted that the plant has been a manufacturer of “unique chemical products for the aviation and space industries” for 10 years.

This is not the first attack on this plant. Back in September 2023, Ukrainian drones damaged a storage tank at this facility. Ukrainian intelligence claimed that this chemical enterprise produces decalin, an additive to aviation fuel.
