Ukrainian sources have published satellite imagery, reportedly obtained from Western intelligence, detailing a major Russian drone launch facility in the Oryol region. The images show the 'Tsimbulovo' drone port, which houses stationary launchers for Geran-3/4 jet drones and Geran-5 missiles, with some launchers reaching up to 80 meters in length. The site, along with another in Donetsk, is described as one of only two locations for launching these jet-powered UAVs. Construction is reportedly ongoing to expand the infrastructure, adding new storage garages and bunkers for the drones.
