なぜ重要か
The plant supports military transport aircraft used to move troops and cargo and services A-50 airborne early-warning aircraft that detect and track targets and coordinate Russian aviation operations. Only a few operational A-50 aircraft reportedly remain in Russia, with each valued at approximately $350 million. This was the second reported attack on the facility: a March 2026 strike damaged an A-50 undergoing maintenance and left holes in an hangar roof.
何が起きたか
Ukrainian defense sources reported that forces attacked the 123rd Aviation Plant in Staraya Russa in Russia’s Novgorod region overnight into November 10. Explosions were reported on the plant’s grounds, followed by a fire, but there was no precise confirmation of damage to production buildings, maintenance hangars or aircraft, and the scale of losses remained unknown.
Novgorod Governor Alexander Dronov confirmed a large-scale drone attack across the region and said one industrial site was damaged. He did not name the facility. Falling drone debris also damaged two houses. Separately, Russia’s Defense Ministry said its air defenses intercepted and destroyed 155 Ukrainian drones over nine Russian regions and occupied Crimea overnight.
ウクライナメディアの見方
Ukrainian sources identify the 123rd Aviation Plant as the target and emphasize its role in maintaining Russian military transport aircraft and A-50 airborne early-warning aircraft. They also highlight the previous March strike, the limited number of operational A-50 aircraft remaining in Russia and the plant’s inclusion in the sanctioned Rostec state corporation.
海外メディアの見方
The provided material contains no international sources, so the comparison is limited to Ukrainian outlets citing Russian official statements and monitoring channels. The Russian position is that the region faced a large-scale drone attack, one industrial site was damaged and 155 drones were intercepted. Ukrainian monitoring channels and eyewitnesses supplied reports of explosions, fire and the likely target, while Ukrainian military officials did not comment.
報道の食い違い
The Russian governor confirmed damage to one unnamed industrial site, whereas the Ukrainian General Staff reported that the 123rd Aviation Repair Plant was hit. Some sources directly described the strike as targeting the plant, while others said there was no official confirmation for that specific facility and identified it only as the likely target.
背景
The 123rd Aviation Plant is located in the Gorodok district of Staraya Russa, approximately 60 km south of Veliky Novgorod. It has its own airfield or runway, allowing heavy aircraft to land directly on the premises, and also repairs Il-76, Il-78 and L-410 aircraft and aviation engines. The facility belongs to Rostec through the United Aircraft Corporation and carries out a Russian state defense order. Ukrainian drones also attacked the Morozov Plant near St Petersburg overnight into November 9, damaging three production workshops.
