Russia targets arms factories, Antonov aircraft factory comes under attack

In a recent update of Ukraine-Russia crisis, Russia has targeted Ukraine arms factories.
Three Russian rockets also hit the Antonov aircraft factory in Kyiv and firefighters “localised” a blaze at the plant

Antonov, which was founded in the Soviet Union in 1946, has manufactured some 30 different types of airplane including the two biggest air cargo planes – the An-124 Ruslan and An-225 Mriya.

Ukrainian state arms manufacturer Ukroboronprom said last month that the Mriya, which can carry up to 250 tonnes, had been set ablaze in a Russian attack and that restoring it would cost more than $3 billion.
