Secret tactics to protect Ukraine’s missile warehouse from Russian attacks

(Dan Tri) – Ukraine has moved part of its domestic missile production facility abroad after Russia’s attack on a factory.

`What I want to say is that, unfortunately, Russia hit the place where these missiles were assembled. Now we have moved part of the (missile) production line outside our territory,` Oleksiy Danilov,

Mr. Danilov did not specify the time and location of the attack or where the production facility was moved.

`This is a secret program and no one can tell you how it happens,` Mr. Danilov shared.

Earlier this month, Mr. Danilov announced that the Ukrainian-made missile had been built since 2020 and could soon reach a range of about 1,000-1,500km into Russian territory.

Ukrainian officials affirmed that bombings of oil and gas facilities or other structures were carried out by guerrilla groups in Russia and that Ukraine was not involved in these incidents.

Previously, Mr. Danilov also announced that Ukraine used a new type of missile, operating `without any errors` to destroy Russia’s S-400 air defense complex on the Crimean peninsula in August. He said

According to Mr. Danilov, Ukraine has been developing its own missile and drone program for a long time, so attacking targets on Russian territory, even if they are 1,500 km away, is no longer a possibility.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also revealed that the country has successfully tested offensive weapons with a range of up to 700km.

If Ukraine successfully develops long-range attack weapons, this could create a change on the battlefield as Kiev can expand its capabilities to target Russia’s more distant targets in the future without having to rely on

Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov announced last week that Kiev is working to rebuild its arms industry.

`Anything that can be produced locally must be produced locally,` Minister Umerov announced.

Minister Umerov said he plans to boost domestic production by reforming state-owned companies and rewarding private arms producers, which account for 20% to 30% of local output.

Ukraine is ramping up domestic arms production partly out of concern that Western transfers may not meet the country’s military needs, said Sergej Sulenny, founder of the Center for European Recovery Initiatives.

Sulenny said Ukraine’s allies had not ramped up ammunition production and supplies to the level needed for a war of such intensity if the conflict dragged on for another 12 months.
