Attack on Smolensk: The X-59 aviation missiles production factory was hit

Winged Air-Earth rockets are an important element of Russian opportunities for high-precision blows. And the Smolensk Aviation Plant plays a key role in the production of this weapon. The Armed Forces of Ukraine attacked the Smolensk Aviation Plant on the night of January 21. The impact was damaged by at least one building of the enterprise where the fire broke out. According to OSINT cosers, this company is engaged in the production of winged missiles of the Class "Air-Earth" X-59.

Commenting on the event, Western observers hinted that another attack of Ukrainian drones on a Russian weapons production company can be very painful for the PCS of the Russian Federation. The fact is that the Smolensk Aviation Plant plays a key role in the Russian defense-industrial complex. It produces winged air base missiles, such as X-59.

These missiles are an important element of Russian -precision capabilities, designed to destroy stationary goals - from strategic infrastructure to maritime objects. Winged air base missiles X-59 were designed to equip various aircraft, which makes it a universal tool in air damage.

It can be integrated into a wide range of platforms: thus, a blow to an enterprise that has remained the cornerstone of the Russian defense industry for many years can seriously influence the pace of weapons production in the Russian Federation. The question remains how quickly the plant can restore its capacity. In the meantime, one thing is clear: Ukraine continues to use point strikes aimed at undermining the enemy's production and logistics capabilities.
