Yesterday, a single Russian Geran-4 jet-drone carried out a 25-minute reconnaissance flight over Kyiv, scouting out potential targets ahead of the upcoming large-scale ballistic missile attack. Among the targets the drone was interested in were the Antonov Aircraft Plant; the Artem Defence Plant; military factories and storage facilities in eastern Kyiv; warehouses and enterprises in the Pozniaky District; the "Asphalt concrete plant" next to the CHP-5 power plant; the Mayak Defence Plant; the "Kyiv Central Design Bureau of Valves" machine building plant; the "Sakhavtomat-Inzh" engineering plant; the "Euroterminal" Logistics Warehouse; the "Analitprylad" Plant. The drone was eventually shot down over the centre of Kyiv. The map shows the approximate route of the reconnaissance flight.
