Ukraine has built an underground network of weapon factories; Magura drones have caused $500M in losses to the Russian fleet.

The Ministry of Strategic Industries of Ukraine has built a classified network of underground factories to produce weapons, and defense enterprises were moved underground due to large-scale destruction in the first days of the war. Some factories are completely underground, others are camouflaged, hidden by “huge scenery”.

These factories produce ammunition, drones, Kozak armored personnel carriers, Neptune missiles, and Stugna anti-tank missiles. The Ukrainian government is counting on these production facilities to eliminate Ukraine’s dependence on the supply of Western weapons. In the future, this network will enable Ukraine to become a center of weapons production for the needs of the West itself.

Meanwhile, the representative of the Main Directorate of Intelligence, Andriy Yusov, said that Ukraine has attacked Russian ships in the Black Sea effectively with the help of the Magura V5 marine surface drone, causing approximately $500M in damages to the Russian fleet.
