    Strike on Russian Rocket and Space Complex 'Progress' in Samara

    On August 15, 2026, the rocket and space complex 'Progress' in Samara, Russia, was struck by missiles. The attack hit the production shop for assembling engines for 'Soyuz' type launch vehicles and the shop for servicing aviation equipment of the 'Aviakor - Aviation Plant'. A fire covering an area of about 5,000 m² was recorded. The complex is a key enterprise in the Russian rocket and space industry, producing 'Soyuz' launch vehicles used for launching satellites into orbit and deploying Russian satellite communication groups in the interests of the Russian army. The strike significantly reduces Russia's military-technological capabilities.
