Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) and Navy struck the Azov Optical-Mechanical Plant in Russia’s Rostov region on September 26, damaging facilities that produce components for missiles, artillery, and anti-tank weapons. The attack used domestically produced Neptune cruise missiles and Ruta, Palianytsia, and Bars drone missiles. Preliminary reports indicate damage to optical, foundry, assembly, and electronics production areas. This strike is part of a broader overnight operation targeting Russian military and energy infrastructure, including the Ilsky oil refinery in Krasnodar and a Pantsir-S2 air defense system. The plant, part of Russia’s Tactical Missiles Corporation, has been under international sanctions since 2022.

Ukraine hits Bryansk energy sites with Neptune missiles, governor claims

Ukraine reportedly struck energy facilities in Russia’s Bryansk Oblast using Neptune missiles and HIMARS, disrupting power in seven municipalities, according to Bryansk Governor Alexander Bogomaz. The Kyiv Independent could not verify the claims at publication and Ukraine’s military had not commented. FIRMS satellite data indicated fires at the plant, and Belgorod experienced blackouts as part of the same night’s disruption. The Neptune system was developed in Ukraine and has seen upgrades since the Moskva’s 2022 sinking, with Kyiv and Moscow trading broader war-time statements amid ongoing attacks on energy infrastructure.

Ukraine's Strategic Missile Strikes Target Russian Forces in Crimea

The Ukrainian navy reportedly used its Neptune anti-ship missiles in land-attack mode to destroy a Russian S-400 air-defense battery in Crimea. The Neptune missile, modeled after the Russian Kh-35, has the capability to strike ground targets. Ukraine has been expanding its deep-strike capability by acquiring Western-made missiles and modifying its own munitions. The modified Neptune missile, with a range of 225 miles, could potentially target Russian forces across most of Crimea. This strike on the S-400 battery may be the first time Ukraine has used the modified Neptune in combat, raising questions about the effectiveness of Russia's best air-defense system.
