History
2023: Russian missile strike during special operation in Ukraine
On the night of August 14-15, 2023, the Russian Armed Forces launched a massive missile strike on military and industrial facilities in Ukraine. In addition to the enterprise in Lviv, the target was also the Yuzhmash plant for the production of rocket technology in Dnepropetrovsk.
Although the Ukrainian media published a photo of only one funnel next to the Meteor sports complex, eyewitnesses literally immediately reported two arrivals in the main assembly workshop. After some time, a video appeared on the Web confirming arrivals around the building.
In previous years, the final assembly of Zenit launch vehicles was carried out there, but later it was "re-profiled" under the Grom-2 OTRK: it is possible that work was underway there to modernize S-200 anti-aircraft missiles. Hitting Yuzhmash can cause additional damage to the missile program of Ukraine after the May strike on Pavlograd.
