Attack on Cheboksary Plant Disrupts Russian Drone Production A fire at the Progress plant in Cheboksary, Russia, on June 10, 2025, has raised concerns about disruptions to the production of Shahed drones. The plant is known to manufacture components for these weapons, used extensively in the ongoing conflict. Video footage shows a significant fire engulfing a section of the facility. The incident follows a pattern of attacks targeting Russian military infrastructure. "The attack on the Progress plant is a significant blow to Russia's ability to supply its forces with Shahed drones," stated a military analyst. The plant's output is crucial for the continued operation of the drones.
