According to the Ukrainian military, this enterprise is critical for the production of Russian missiles.
“The plant specializes in discrete semiconductor technology and integrated circuits, which are the “brains” and “nervous system” of modern weapons, including Iskander missiles,” explained the General Staff.
The published video shows five explosions.
“A target hit and significant damage to production facilities were recorded. The extent of the damage caused is being clarified. The aerial reconnaissance was carried out by a unit of a separate regiment of unmanned systems “Raid,” the message says.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky also reported about the defeat of the Bryansk plant. According to him, the company produced control systems for all types of Russian missiles.
“I can only congratulate our Armed Forces,” said the head of state.
The military portal Defense Express wrote that this plant had been hit several times before, but this particular attack led to “rather heavy defeats.”
Analysts consider Silicon El to be the second largest manufacturer of microelectronics components, 90% of which even before 2022 went to other military plants, and it also supplies components for the BUBS-30 combat equipment control unit of the new Russian Izdeliye-30 cruise missile.
