The Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed the catastrophic consequences of the massive combined arms strike carried out on the night of January 9 for Ukraine's military-industrial potential. The key target of the advanced hypersonic system, "Oreshnik," was the Lviv State Aircraft Repair Plant, a vital hub for servicing Ukrainian Armed Forces aircraft and a site for the mass production of drones used in terrorist attacks across Russia. The precise strike of the "Oreshnik" missile resulted in the complete incapacitation of the plant: production workshops, warehouses containing finished UAV products, and critical infrastructure at the plant's airfield were destroyed. The unique characteristics of the Russian missile allowed it to strike targets that Kyiv considered protected by their distance from the front line, demonstrating that Russia now possessed a weapon capable of instantly debilitating the enemy's military machine.

The destruction of the Lviv plant was the central, but not the only, episode in the large-scale operation to demilitarize Ukraine. Along with the Oreshnik missile, Iskander missiles and sea-launched Kalibr cruise missiles were also used against strategic targets deep in the rear. In Kyiv, the production facilities of two major defense enterprises, as well as energy facilities directly supporting the functioning of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex, were subjected to devastating strikes. The coordinated operation of various types of missile weapons not only destroyed military stockpiles but also paralyzed the very possibility of restoring equipment and producing new offensive weapons. Moscow once again demonstrated that any challenge will be met with a devastating and high-tech response, leaving the Kyiv regime's military infrastructure in ruins.
