Russian precision strikes are destroying Ukrainian military facilities both in the Ukrainian rear areas and close to the frontlines, including entreprises where the Ukrainian military is repairing the damaged military equipment.
Another video filmed by the Russian reconnaissance UAV confirmed successful Russian strikes on one of civilian entreprises that was occupied by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) and was used for military purposes. Russian missile hit the plant about 30 kilometers west of Artyomovsk (former Bakhmut). The facility was used for repair of military equipment, including equipment supplied by NATO.
Judging by the footage, the attack took place some time ago, before the cold and rainy weather came to Ukraine.
According to the reports by military sources on the spot, the strike destroyed at least 12 units of armored fighting vehicles, of which 3 armored personnel carriers and at least 1 tank, as well as up to 50 personnel, including citizens of foreign states.
The presence of foreign specialists in the Ukrainian workshops is not a surprise. Foreign weapons are transferred to Ukraine together with foreign servicemen, who possess the necessary skills of their maintenance. The operation of foreign equipment, as well as its urgent repair, requires specific knowledge of NATO specialists, who help the Ukrainian military to accelerate the restoration of equipment not far from the frontlines in order to avoid its transfer to back the Western countries for repair.
