The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reminds that “for every war crime committed against the Ukrainian people, there will be fair retribution.”
In the Alabuga economic zone on Russian territory, according to the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (GUR MO), December 23, 2024 occurred “mysterious destructive fire”as a result of which a warehouse with valuable military components intended for Iranian Shahed-136 type drones was destroyed.
This “tragic loss” for Russia is estimated at $16 million.
What exactly burned?
The fire destroyed several critical components for the production of attack drones. The warehouse contained:
- 65 fuselages for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs);
- Engines for these drones;
- Navigation systems;
- Thermal imaging cameras for video surveillance, used in Shahed-136.
All these elements burned, which led to catastrophic losses for the Russian side, estimated at 16 million US dollars.
The meaning of this event
For the Russian military machine, this event is of strategic importance. In recent months, Russia has actively used Iranian Shahed-136 drones to attack Ukraine. Their main goal is to strike critical infrastructure, as well as create chaos in Ukrainian cities. A warehouse fire that destroyed key components for the production of these drones could significantly weaken Russia's ability to mass produce such attack drones.
The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine emphasizes that every war criminal responsible for attacks on Ukraine will receive a well-deserved punishment:
“This fire is another step in Ukraine’s desire to damage Russia’s military industry and influence the course of the conflict.”
Who was behind this strike?
Although the exact circumstances of the fire “remain unknown,” the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense initially “does not rule out” that it could be part of a broader Ukrainian strategy to destabilize the Russian military industry. Similar attacks on warehouses with military equipment were recorded earlier, which emphasizes the coordination of actions.
Some sources indicate the “possibility of external intervention,” namely the use of Ukrainian or international forces to achieve this result, but this information has not been officially confirmed.
How will this affect Russia?
The mysterious fire at a warehouse in Russia has long-term consequences for the Russian military complex. The loss of such critical equipment and components for drone production will hurt Russia's ability to continue mass supply of drones for strikes in Ukraine.
As a result of these losses, Russia will be forced to look for new ways to make up for the losses. This will likely lead to delays in drone production and the loss of key advantages at the front.
How does Ukraine react to these events?
The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense stated that this attack on Russian military facilities would be only part of Ukraine's efforts to destabilize the Russian armed forces. Ukrainian military and intelligence services continue to collect information about military installations in Russia and are actively working to destroy them.
Ukrainian authorities continue to emphasize that every war criminal who committed attacks on Ukraine will receive the punishment they deserve. This statement is supported by the increase in military and intelligence activity on Russian territory.
Ukrainian view of what is happening
These events also highlight how Ukraine can effectively use intelligence and modern warfare to inflict serious damage on its adversary.
NAnews – Israel News They also note that such events play an important role in the global picture, influencing the attitude of the world community to the conflict in Ukraine and Russia’s position in the international arena.
Conclusion
A “mysterious fire accident” at a warehouse with components for Iranian drones in Russia became another blow to the military power of the aggressor. The losses that Russia suffered are estimated at $16 million, which significantly weakens its ability to produce drones used to attack Ukraine.
This event shows how Ukraine is effectively using intelligence to strike key Russian military installations, which could influence the outcome of the conflict in the long term.
