Ukrainian missile strike on drone warehouse in russia’s Oryol region leads to the loss of critical UAV resources
On January 26, a precision missile strike targeted critical drone warehouse in russia’s Oryol region, resulting in the destruction of dozens of attack drones and their components. The attack, reportedly executed with three British-French Storm Shadow/SCALP cruise missiles, dealt a significant blow to russia’s UAV operations.
The facility, located near the village of Bolshaya Chern in Bolkhovsky district, housed a large-node assembly site and storage for the Geran-2 (Shahed) UAVs. According to Dosye Shpiona, the strike destroyed:
- 24 Geran-2 UAVs;
- 44 warheads for these drones;
- 30 Parodiya UAVs;
- Over 3.2 tons of UAV fuel.
The losses highlight the effectiveness of high-precision air-launched munitions like the Storm Shadow/SCALP missiles in disrupting russia’s drone warfare capabilities. These UAVs have been frequently used in attacks on Ukraine, making the destruction of this facility a notable development in countering russian aggression.

But you’re not allowed to this, we have the mighty Oreshnik – russian defence ministry.
