Ukraine’s Defense Forces likely attacked the 75th Arsenal in Serpukhov, Moscow Region, where the Russians store, repair and restore military equipment, including surface-to-air missile systems. Missiles or rocket-powered drones may have been used for the strike. This was reported by the Exilenova+ Telegram channel, UNN writes.
Details
According to the channel, the target was a facility of Russia’s defense-industrial complex specializing in the maintenance of military equipment and air defense systems.
During the attack, an air raid alert over missile threats was announced in Serpukhov. At the same time, there is currently no information about the extent of the damage to the facility or possible Russian losses.
Buk and S-300V systems were repaired at the arsenal
According to the Russian state corporation Rostec, the facility repaired equipment from Buk-M1, Buk-M2 and S-300V surface-to-air missile systems.
The facility had previously attracted the attention of OSINT analysts. In particular, in March 2024, researcher Jompy called the 75th Arsenal the only storage base for Russian air defense systems he had identified.
Potential damage to such a facility could affect the Russian army’s ability to repair and restore air defense systems. However, the consequences of the attack can be assessed only after the damage is confirmed.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other official Ukrainian sources have not yet confirmed information about a strike on the 75th Arsenal.
