"Atesh agents conducted reconnaissance at the former Sevastopol Aviation Plant ('Vertolyotka'), now a branch of the Russian state enterprise Aviakomplekt, which is heavily involved in supporting Rosaviatsiya. The facility not only repairs helicopters for Russia's Defense Ministry but has also become a critical hub of military logistics," the statement said.

According to the report, a command post has been established on the premises from which combat missions against southern Ukraine are planned. In effect, this is where key decisions are made on target selection and the coordination of airstrikes.

Partisan sources say Russian Aerospace Forces officers regularly arrive there from Dzhankoi and Rostov-on-Don. The site coordinates strikes, services crews, and hosts training and recovery for helicopter units.

The presence of such a center directly affects the intensity of attacks on civilian cities in southern Ukraine, including Kherson, Mykolaiv, and Zaporizhzhia.

"This is no longer just a repair shop — it is the nerve center of the occupation's aviation," Atesh said.

All recorded information on personnel, equipment, and activities at the site has been passed on to Ukraine's Defense Forces.
