Panic In Moscow And The Moscow Region: Production Is Being Moved To The Urals And Siberia

Because of Ukrainian drone attacks.

Production facilities of the Russian rocket and space industry are planned to be moved from Moscow and the Moscow region to the regions - to the Urals and Siberia. As the head of Roscosmos Dmitri Bakanov reported at the plenary session of the Federation Council, all capacities of the Khrunichev Center will be transferred from Moscow to Omsk, and serial production of rocket engines - from the site of Khimki NPO Energomash to Perm. According to him, these decisions are aimed at reducing production costs and optimizing production.

In January, Roscosmos had already announced a complete transfer of Angara rocket production from the Moscow site to Omsk - the branch of the Khrunichev Center in Omsk since 2007 is the production association "Polet", where it is planned to concentrate rocket production. Rocket engines will be produced at the Perm-based Perm Motors. The relocation of facilities will take three years, Bakanov said.

The decision to relocate production facilities was taken against the backdrop of regular AFU strikes on Russian industrial and energy infrastructure. Thus, on the evening of March 27, drones attacked the Smolensk Aviation Plant, which, according to Ukrainian security services, produces cruise missiles and UAVs. The raid occurred on the same day that Dmitri Medvedev, deputy head of the Russian Security Council, was visiting the region to inspect the fulfillment of a state defense order.

The same night, according to the governor of the Vologda region, George Filimonov, eight drones attacked an "industrial site" in Cherepovets. According to Exilenova+ analysis, the site in question is Apatit JSC, Europe's largest producer of phosphate-based fertilizers.

March 28, the Promsintez plant in Chapaevsk, Samara Region, one of the largest producers of explosives in Russia, came under attack. OSINT channel KiberBoroshno reported that the attack was carried out by a long-range Ukrainian FP-5 Flamingo missile and published a video of a hit on the production area where explosives are synthesized. In addition, in March, strikes were carried out on chemical plants in Togliatti, Tver and Perm regions.

And on the night of March 31, the AFU struck the port of Ust-Luga in the Leningrad region for the fourth time in a week. Together with the Primorsk port, which has also been repeatedly attacked, these terminals account for 40 percent of Russia's oil exports.

Commenting on the attacks, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov admitted that Russian authorities are unable to guarantee full protection of critical infrastructure from drones.
