Damage to the "Progress" plant in Cheboksary: the CCD told about its importance
Kyiv • UNN
The "Progress" plant, which produces components for the "Iskander" missile systems, has stopped working after the strike. They produced guidance systems, flight control and modules for missiles.
The Defense Forces of Ukraine confirmed the arrival at the Russian "Progress" plant in Cheboksary, where elements of military equipment that the enemy launches at our country were manufactured. The plant is ceasing operations.
This was reported by the head of the Center for Counteracting Disinformation of the National Security and Defense Council, Lieutenant Andriy Kovalenko, reports UNN.
As of now, the Progress plant in Cheboksary is ceasing operations indefinitely. The Russians pretend that "everything was shot down"
Kovalenko noted that something unknown arrived at the Progress plant in Cheboksary, which is involved in the missile construction cycle, including Iskander.
It is there that electromechanical drives, hydraulic systems and control units are manufactured for heavy combat equipment - from self-propelled howitzers to Iskander missile systems. Without these components, the missiles will not be able to reach the target. "Progress" provides guidance, stabilization and flight control systems that are integrated into the strike platform at the assembly stage
"Progress" manufactures "Comet" type modules - a Russian satellite navigation module that provides operation with GLONASS/GPS and has protection against signal jamming.
Such modules are used in: Iskander-M operational-tactical missiles, Kalibr-type cruise missiles, Kh-101, Kh-69, gliding aerial bombs (UMPC), Orlan-10 drones, Lancet, and new Shahed drones.
Very fat target
