Storm Shadow missiles hit a company that manufactures semiconductors and microcircuits for Russian missiles.
Ukrainian forces have struck a powerful blow to a strategic facility deep behind enemy lines in the Bryansk region. Seven Storm Shadow cruise missiles successfully hit the production facilities of the Bryansk plant “Kremniy El”, which serves the Russian military-industrial complex. Analysts of the OSINT project ” CyberBoroshno ” reported on the details of the successful operation and the complex flight route.
The missile attack was unexpected for the occupiers, the analysis notes. Russian monitoring channels first detected targets at 4:52 p.m. in the Poharsky district, and seven minutes later the first explosion was heard on the territory of the plant.
Analysts tracked the attack trajectory in detail and noted that Storm Shadow managed to evade Russian air defenses by moving from different directions.
“Before being hit, the missiles entered the plant from different directions, most from the east. In total, 7 hits were recorded on the territory of the Kremny El plant,” the OSINT experts note in their report.
Five of the strikes hit building No. 4, the company’s key building. Two more missiles hit other production facilities.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky officially confirmed the destruction of the facility. The operation was supported by the “Raid” unit of the separate Unmanned Systems Regiment. It was the aerial reconnaissance of this unit that ensured the accuracy of the strikes.
Why is the Kremniy El plant important for the Russian military-industrial complex?
“Silicon El” is a critical link in the Russian military-industrial complex. The enterprise produces semiconductors and microcircuits. These components are the “nervous system” of the Russian Iskander missiles, and without them, the Kremlin’s modern weapons lose their accuracy.
Special features of Storm Shadow
The technical characteristics of the British Storm Shadow allow it to overcome difficult terrain. The missile weighs 1,300 kg and carries a 450 kg warhead. It flies at an extremely low altitude, and its GPS navigation and inertial system make it almost invisible to radar.
What else is known about the attack on the Kremniy El plant in Bryansk
Expert Denis Popovich compared the affected plant in Bryansk to a “diamond in the crown,” emphasizing its extraordinary value to the enemy. This enterprise specializes in the production of electronic control systems for various missile systems of the Russian occupiers.
And the day before, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Oleksandr Syrsky, informed President Volodymyr Zelensky about the successful destruction by Ukrainian defense forces of an enterprise in Bryansk , which was engaged in the production of control systems for all types of missiles in service with the Russian army.
