A Ukrainian OSINT channel, which analyses publicly available information, claims Russia has turned a bare field into a launch site for Geran-5 drones in roughly a month. According to the channel, drones from the site are already arriving at their targets.

What the site contains

The channel says the facility has eight launcher positions and 32 pads for preparing drones before launch.

Comparison with Tsymbulova

The channel likens the layout to Tsymbulova, a Russian drone base that Ukraine keeps striking. That comparison is the channel's own assessment. The source gives no further detail on the site's location and no independent confirmation.

The report rests on a single OSINT channel, and its figures and conclusions have not been verified by official sources.
