Ukraine Uses Modified Neptune Missiles to Strike Russian Military-Linked Factory in Bryansk

Ukraine launched a long-range strike deep inside Russian territory using its modified R-360 Neptune anti-ship missiles, targeting the Elektrodetal factory in the Bryansk region. The Neptune missile, originally designed for naval targets, has been adapted to hit land-based military-industrial facilities, extending its range to approximately 240 kilometers. The Elektrodetal plant produces critical electrical connectors and components for Russia's aerospace, defense electronics, and missile industries, making it a strategic blow to Moscow's military supply chain. Ukrainian officials emphasized that the strike disrupted key links in Russia's logistics and weapons production, including components for drones and missile systems. The attack caused explosions and fires at the facility, with damage assessments ongoing. This strike reflects Ukraine's evolving long-range strike capabilities amid ongoing conflict with Russia, underscoring Kyiv's efforts to degrade Russian military infrastructure.
