Russia Building Another Drone Launch Base in Rostov Region
Ukrainian military intelligence says Russia is building one more base near the border for launching jet-powered drones. Up to 100 such drones a day could be launched from it.
Russia is building another drone launch base in the Rostov region, which borders Ukraine, according to the Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR) of Ukraine's Ministry of Defence. The agency announced this on Wednesday.
HUR says that up to 100 jet-powered drones a day could be launched from the facility. The agency describes it as "another" base, which indicates it is not the first of its kind in the border area.
The report does not say where exactly in the Rostov region the base is located, how far construction has progressed or when it might become operational. It also gives no further details about the types of drones that would be used there.
As Ukraine has been fighting a war against Russia, intelligence announcements like this help gauge the possible scale of future drone attacks.
