Izhevsk is one of the leading centers of the Russian defense industry.

It is in this city that the headquarters of the Kalashnikov group and other major enterprises of the military industrial complex are located.

Drone strikes launched from Ukraine against military targets and civilian infrastructure in the Russian rear have become standard practice since February 24, 2022, when the special military operation began.
