Russia claims successful strikes on Ukrainian missile plants, targeting production facilities and defense systems in July.
MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russia's defence ministry said on Thursday that its forces had struck a number of Ukrainian missile plants, weapons design bureaus and rocket fuel productions enterprises with missiles and drones in July.
Russian forces destroyed a number of Western missile defence systems - including Patriot launchers and fire control radar in the Dnipropetrovsk and Sumy regions - that had been deployed to defend the plants, the ministry said.
"An attempt by the Kyiv regime, together with its Western partners, to organise the production of missiles to carry out attacks deep into the territory of the Russian Federation was thwarted," the ministry said.

A missile production facility is a specialized location where missiles are manufactured, including components like guidance systems and propulsion systems, often used by military forces.
Missile defense systems are technologies and strategies designed to detect, track, and intercept incoming missiles to protect a specific area or asset from attack.
In military terms, a drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that can be remotely controlled or fly autonomously, often used for surveillance or targeted strikes.
