Year and a half ago, russians decided it would be wise to build a new artillery repair plant in Bryansk yet a repeated drone strike shows how exposed the location actually is
November 10th overnight, a dozen Ukrainian suicide drones reached and struck the ammunition storage facilities belonging to the 1060th Centre for Material-Technical Support in Bryansk, russia. Formerly known as the 120th GRAU arsenal, the warehouse was engulfed in fire after at least eight explosions heard on-site, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reports.
With two fires observed on the territory of the facility and “indications” of ammo stored there cooking off, the scale of damage to the military supply hub is still being assessed, the GenStaff press service notes.
Local russian authority Aleksandr Bogomaz stated on social media that 14 hostile drones were detected and destroyed by russian air defense in Bryansk but still “fires broke out in non-residential buildings” as a result of this attack, with no casualties or damage to property.
The russian Ministry of Defense, meanwhile, reported having intercepted 93 Ukrainian drones involved in the attack lasting through the night and in the morning, including 31 drones detected in the Bryansk region specifically, as delivered by RFE/RL.
On a note from Defense Express, this is the second time the former 120th arsenal of the russian defense ministry’s Main Missile and Artillery Directorate (GRAU) is coming under attack by Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles. On April 25, 2022, a Ukrainian drone strike hit oil reservoirs on the territory of this facility.
Nonetheless, the Kremlin decided to start building a new plant on the basis of this supply hub exactly one year later, in April 2023. Given the convenient railway access and proximity to Ukraine’s borders, the new plant was supposed to repair most of the artillery system types for the russian army and send them back to the frontline.
However, 1.5 years into the execution of this plan, despite expectations that Bryansk air defenses would be reinforced, they seem to fail in protecting the city from Ukrainian explosive drones. The current operational status and progress of the artillery repair plant project remain unknown.

Nobody ever accused the potato generals of being intelligent. They didn’t get where they are through using logic, but through loyalty to the war criminal.
Never stop your enemy from being stupid.
Very nice! Mafia land must burn!
