Russian Self-Propelled Howitzer Factory Uraltransmash on Fire in Yekaterinburg
Video Summary
Fires Have Been Detected at the Euro-Trans-Mash Plant in Russia
A significant plume of smoke has been rising from the Euro-Trans-Mash military plant in Yekaterinburg, Russia, the only facility in the country where self-propelled artillery is manufactured. The smoke is believed to be coming from damaged pipes on the facility, rather than a deliberate attack. These pipes are located on the factory floor and are likely important for the production process.
The Euro-Trans-Mash plant has a reputation for being poorly managed, with one online source describing it as “among the worst-run enterprises in the Russian defense industry”. Despite being a significant facility, it is not the only target for Ukraine, which has a history of striking industrial facilities with a maximum range of 1,600 km. However, even if Ukraine were to attempt to target this facility, it would likely require a drone swarm to be successful.
For now, it appears that the fire is an accident rather than an act of war, and repairs are likely to be underway to resolve the issue. Meanwhile, a fundraising effort is underway to purchase an armored vehicle for use in Ukraine, with the goal of supporting the country’s military and helping to protect those on the front lines.
