the Russians write about the UAV hitting an industrial facility in Kazan. Let me remind you that there is a Kazan Gunpowder Plant in the city, which is one of the key enterprises of the Russian military-industrial complex, specializing in the production of explosives, rocket fuels and other components that are critical for the Russian army. This plant performs the function of providing the Russian armed forces with ammunition and materials necessary for the manufacture of missiles of various classes and purposes, including the Kalibr, Iskander, etc. missiles. In general, the Kazan Gunpowder Plant is one of the “backbones” of the Russian military industry, without which serial production of ammunition would be impossible
