A series of explosions are heard inside the plant, with workers rushing and screaming as they try to get to safety.
Ukrainian drones attacked a military-industrial complex in the Russian city of Izhevsk on Tuesday, in one of the deepest strikes inside the country since Putin's full-scale invasion. UAVS struck the Kupol Electromechanical Plant, causing a major fire to break out at the site.
Video images circulating on social media channels show the dramatic moment of impact as the deadly drones zeroed in on their target. In one clip, an explosion can be heard, and then a giant ball of flames is seen erupting from the premises. Another video posted online shows panic among workers arriving at the plant for their morning shift.
It comes just days after Ukraine successfully inflicted more pain on Putin's battered air force as it struck the Marinovka airfield in Russia's Volgograd Oblast.

Local residents told the independent Russian media Telegram channel that air raid sirens had failed to go off prior to the deadly attack.
The city is located in the Udmurt Republic of Russia, more than 1000km from (600 miles) from the frontline.

According to this and other reports, Russia is a paper tiger.
But according to most in the EU/NATO, it is a huge threat.
Which is it?
Wow I have to give Putin a Nobel prize as the greatest conservative of the century.
He has brought all this destruction to Russia and of course Ukraine, has wiped out a generation of soldiers in both counties....
And three years in he is devoted to more, just to oppose gay marriage and biolabs.
This guy is the greatest Christian since John Paul II.
Imagine the fools that actually believe that.
Putin looking for new commander for his Black Sea Fleet today.

British tabloid
Putin stronk!
[ Ukraine SITREP ] MASSIVE COLLAPSE IMMINENT!!! While massive collapses are already happening..
That’s a very interesting question. Russia is dangerous but for sure Putin is the biggest F up on the world stage.
Ever deal with criminals? They don’t think like “normal” people and they don’t understand or care about the consequences of their actions to themselves or others.
That’s what makes them pathetic and dangerous at the same time.
Imagine the fools who believe DC, London, the EU, and the Nazis in Ukraine are trying to spread freedom in the world. Period
Uh Huh, he is just reeling from it. LOL
Putin reeling…
Zelensky reeling…
Russia reeling…
Ukraine reeling…
The only thing that doesn’t change is Christians are slaughtering each other in large numbers. And the front line barely moves. Just like in WW1. Only on a smaller scale.
I had hoped Trump would put a stop to this. Not his fault that he couldn’t. Too much ego and stupidity on each side.
What Vice Admiral Ildar Akhmetov doink?
LOL.
Both could be kind of true just like Iran. Russia has nuclear weapons and Iran wants them. Just because Russia and perhaps Iran later could give nuclear weapons to a proxy and have that proxy detonate in enemy territory means they are dangerous. I don’t think Russia could handle two Ukraine size wars at the same time. Russia is having so much trouble that they needed North Korean troops to help them attack Ukraine. If they didn’t have nuclear weapons, Russia isn’t really a superpower in a military sense.
Does Putin want to conquer Western Europe and go to the English Channel?
LOL
According to NATO and the EU, he is ready to conquer Western Europe. Some NATO countries are preparing their people for war with Russia, including the British.
