Summary
British-made drones have been part of Ukraine’s long-range strikes on Russian territory for the past six months, with the jet-powered BAE Systems Nyan among the systems used.
The Times, citing Ukrainian Armed Forces sources, said the drones were used in attacks on Belgorod and on oil refineries near Moscow, Yaroslavl and Volgograd, though it did not specify which model hit each target.
Ukrainian sources said domestically produced drones still carry out most deep strikes, but British systems have also been used successfully in contested environments.
The disclosure adds detail to Ukraine’s widening campaign against Russian military-industrial infrastructure, including a strike overnight on the Kamensky Combine solid rocket fuel plant in Rostov Oblast.
