GUR drones hit a military facility in Tula

On the night of May 16, drones of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine attacked the production facilities of the state-owned enterprise of the Russian defense complex "Bazalt" in Tula.

As a result of planned work by the GUR on Thursday night, a military facility in Tula was hit. The enterprise directly produces military products for the war against Ukraine, Ukrainian journalists report, citing their sources in Ukrainian intelligence.

OSINT analysts point out that the moment the drones were hit was recorded by street surveillance cameras.

According to Russian propagandists, in the Tula region, an air defense system shot down two unmanned aerial vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

What is important to understand is that Basalt is a Russian defense enterprise that is engaged in the creation and supply of weapons and ammunition for the ground forces, air forces, and navy.

It includes not only the main division in Moscow, but also a research and production division in Krasnoarmiysk, Moscow Region, and production divisions in Tula and Kostroma Region.
