Military facilities on the territory of Taganrog were attacked not only by American ATACMS missiles but also by Palyanytsia drone missiles.

According to Censor.NET, Forbes writes about this.

It is noted that the source of the publication suggests that not only American missiles but also the latest Palyanytsia drones were involved in the attack on military facilities in Taganrog. In particular, this is evidenced by several videos taken by local residents near the aviation institute.

Experts say that the use of the Palianytsia drone against Taganrog is a logical decision by Kyiv. It is made based on the A-22 sports plane, flies over 500 kilometers, and can carry a powerful warhead. "The Palyanytsia is ideal for attacks on hangars housing enemy A-50 radar aircraft.

Experts add that the Palyanytsia drone costs about $100,000. Compared to cruise missiles, this is a small cost.

The drone arrives from the factory in a box, and before a combat mission, it is equipped with a warhead and wings. Experts do not rule out that the drone is controlled by a GPS. It is ideal for striking a small hangar.

The newspaper writes that as long as there are no satellite images, it is difficult to judge the damage caused by the missiles and drones of the Ukrainian Armed Forces yesterday. But it is obvious that the Ukrainians are still keenly interested in striking the Taganrog airfield and are quite capable of doing so with the help of the latest drones.

"If this was a Palyanytsia raid, it could be a harbinger of additional raids. Ukrainian industry has been producing Palyanytsia in small quantities since this summer. However, according to Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, a new startup has recently launched full-scale production of Palyanytsia," the article says.

To recap, the Russian Defense Ministry said that on December 11, Ukraine allegedly attacked a military airfield in Taganrog, Rostov region of Russia, with ATACMS missiles.
