Russia hits Baykar factory in Ukraine with missile!

Russia launched a missile attack on Lviv, Ukraine. Lviv City Council member Igor Zinkevich announced that the Turkish defense company Baykar's production facility in Ukraine was severely damaged in the Russian attack. This was the fourth time the factory has been targeted in the last six months.

Footage published on social media shows a missile hitting the roof of a factory said to belong to Baykar, with a powerful explosion and dense smoke rising.

Igor Zinkevich explained that two direct hits were recorded in the attack and the production capacity was seriously damaged.

According to Zinkevich, Baykar has maintained its investments despite previous attacks, completed staff training, and most of the facility's production lines are nearly ready. Baykar CEO Haluk Bayraktar announced last year that the Ukrainian factory would open in August 2025.

The Clash Report account on X shared a rendering of the factory's design, claiming the structure struck resembles a Baykar facility. Baykar has yet to make an official statement.
