The plant is also the developer of the "Harpy" strike drones. It is under international sanctions as an entity of the Russian military-industrial complex.

At least two strikes by SBU drones were recorded on the factory buildings, after which a fire broke out.

"The SBU continues to strike with surgical precision at Russian defense industry enterprises that are working for the war against Ukraine. Each such special operation reduces the enemy's offensive potential, disrupts the chains of military production, and demonstrates that even deep in the rear of Russia there are no safe zones for its military infrastructure," said a source in the SBU.
