Strategic plant ablaze: the "Madyar" birds struck aviation fuel production for the Russian Aerospace Forces

Ukrainian forces struck the Russian petrochemical enterprise “Sintez-Kauchuk”, which supplies Russian aviation with fuel and specialized components. This was reported on 15 April 2026 by “Madyar”, confirming the damage to the facility.

According to available information, this plant is an important element of the aggressor country’s military-industrial complex. The enterprise produces aviation fuel, additives for aviation kerosene, and is also the sole manufacturer of neodymium synthetic rubbers used in various technological processes.

The strike on the facility was carried out by operators of the 1st Separate SBS Center using upgraded long-range drones of the deepstrike-UAV «Lyutiy» type. Such drones have recently been increasingly used to strike strategic targets deep in the enemy’s rear.

Thus, the attack became another example of the targeted destruction of infrastructure that directly supports the combat capabilities of Russian aviation. Damage to such facilities can affect not only production but also logistics and the effectiveness of the enemy’s air forces.
