Every Iskander that flies towards a Ukrainian city has its own life story, and it begins not at the launcher but in a factory workshop where the propellant that lifts the missile into the sky is made.
One such enterprise, Morozov Plant JSC, is located near St Petersburg. It produces explosives and developed the solid propellant for the motors of Topol-M missile systems. For 9M723 Iskander-M ballistic missiles, the plant manufactures and supplies solid-propellant charges for 9Kh820 motors. This defence-industrial complex (DIC) enterprise is part of the Rostec state corporation and is one of the key links in the chain that provides the russian army with ballistic missiles.
During the night of 9 November, the Defence Forces of Ukraine intervened in this life story. Units hit the enterprise, damaging three production workshops at once. The extent of the damage is being clarified.
What does this mean for Ukraine? Every such strike hampers the enemy’s output of missiles for the Iskanders it uses to strike our cities. The chain is broken at its very beginning, long before the launcher.
Ukraine is acting within the right of self-defence guaranteed by Article 51 of the UN Charter. The Defence Forces are systematically undermining the aggressor’s military and economic potential to compel russia to cease its armed aggression against Ukraine.
