Russia claims to have given a new blow to the Ukrainian Sapsan rakes sites

Russian Forces Strike Ukrainian Sapsan Missile Storage Site

According to a recent announcement from the Ministry of Defense in Moscow, Russian troops have successfully targeted a storage facility in Ukraine where Sapsan ballistic missiles, believed to be of Russian origin, were reportedly being produced. The operation, which took place on August 17, involved a combination of operational tactical aviation, attack drones, rocket troops, and artillery.

In a statement released on their official telegram channel, the Ministry of Defense stated, “Operational tactical aviation, attack drones, rocket troops, and artillery… have caused damage to a storage space [for] Sapsan operational tactical missiles and their components.”

The Sapsan missile system is known for its precision and long-range capabilities, making it a key asset in modern warfare. The strike on the storage site is seen as a significant blow to the Ukrainian military, as it is likely to disrupt their missile production capabilities and potentially hinder their defensive capabilities.

The Russian military has not disclosed the specific location of the storage site or the extent of the damage caused by the strike. However, the operation is seen as a clear demonstration of Russia’s military prowess and its ability to effectively target key enemy assets.

The Sapsan missile system has been a point of contention between Russia and Ukraine, with both countries claiming ownership of the technology. The recent strike on the storage site is likely to escalate tensions between the two countries and further destabilize the region.

The Ministry of Defense in Moscow has not provided any further details on the operation or any potential casualties resulting from the strike. The situation is still developing, and the international community is closely monitoring the situation for any further escalations.
