Agents of the Ukrainian partisan movement Atesh have sabotaged an electrical substation supplying power to the Voronezh Aircraft Production Association, a Russian defense industry facility responsible for manufacturing and repairing military transport aircraft. Acording to Atesh, the sabotage destroyed a transformer, causing significant disruptions to the electricity supply of the strategic aviation facility.
“As a result of a targeted intervention, a transformer was destroyed, leading to serious disruptions in the power supply to the strategic facility,” the movement stated.
The Voronezh aircraft plant plays an important role in supporting Russia’s Armed Forces, carrying out the production, repair, and modernization of heavy military transport aircraft, including the Il-76.
The facility also manufactures key aviation components used in aircraft production and maintenance.
According to Atesh, disruptions to the plant’s operations directly affect the logistics and operational capabilities of Russia’s military transport aviation.
The partisan movement emphasized that attacks against infrastructure supporting Russia’s defense industry are intended to disrupt military production and force Moscow to divert resources toward repairing damaged facilities.
“Such acts of sabotage behind enemy lines disrupt the production chains of Putin’s military-industrial complex and force the regime to divert resources to restoring infrastructure. We continue our systematic efforts to identify and neutralize facilities that support aggression against Ukraine,” Atesh stated.
The reported sabotage comes amid continued Ukrainian operations targeting Russian military infrastructure, including air defense systems, command facilities, and logistical sites in Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories.
