Production facilities, a warehouse, and a UAV service center were hit.

On the night of November 13, the Ukrainian Defense Forces struck three targets associated with Russian drones with Neptune missiles , according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine .

“The missile forces, specifically the Ukrainian Navy’s Neptune coastal missile system, simultaneously struck three targets associated with drones,” the statement said.

In particular, the attack targeted the production of tactical-level attack UAVs and their storage location at Ionos LLC.

“Another target was the UAV service center of Aero-Hit LLC, where the Russian Army repairs and maintains drones for the front. Aero-Hit is a Russian manufacturer of Veles attack and reconnaissance FPV drones. The company’s production facility is located in Khabarovsk, and its service center is in Rostov-on-Don,” the General Staff said in a statement.

The General Staff notes that the strike targeted the entire supply chain – production, warehouse, and service.

“Some of the drones won’t be manufactured, some burned in storage, and the damaged ones won’t return to the front for a long time. Fewer Russian drones means fewer attacks on our soldiers and civilians,” the General Staff noted.

The Neptune rocket turned out to be Ukraine’s only successful development.

As UNIAN reported, Andriy Ryzhenko, retired Captain First Rank and Deputy Chief of Staff of the Ukrainian Naval Forces from 2004 to 2020, noted that Ukraine has successfully and widely used Neptune missiles as tactical cruise missiles. He believes these missiles are essentially Ukraine’s only successful development .

He recalled that the missile’s effectiveness was initially proven during the strike on the Russian cruiser Moskva, which was sunk in the Black Sea.

Then, he said, Ukrainian engineers came up with a very rational idea to make this missile suitable for striking targets on land.
