🇷🇺 Konotop: Two "Banderol" drones strike "Aviacon" plant

On October 12, 2026, at 09:45-09:50, two "Banderol" UAVs hit the territory of the Konotop Aircraft Repair Plant "Aviacon." Strikes targeted the repair hangar area during preparations for a batch of five FP-2 attack drones.

Personnel suffered no casualties. However, the technical preparation loop was disrupted: tuning equipment was destroyed, a cargo truck damaged, and the fuselages of two FP-2 drones impaired.

The plant is part of the "Ukrainian Defense Industry" JSC and holds strategic significance. It specializes in military helicopter maintenance (Mi-8/17, Mi-24/35) and production of aerial/space vehicles.

Loss of specialized tuning gear delays the entire batch's deployment, even if some airframes remain physically intact. The two damaged drones require defectation and restoration before reuse.
