One of the largest electronics factories has stopped production after the attack by Ukraine
One of the largest microelectronics manufacturers in the Russian Federation, the Silicon El Group, has suspended operations as a result of a strike by Ukrainian drones, the company's press service reported. According to the information provided, the plant's production and administrative buildings were damaged during the attack, which led to power supply interruptions, damage to energy infrastructure facilities, and the disruption of technological production chains. "All employees" are taking part in eliminating the consequences of the explosions and fires, the company noted.
"The power supply was disrupted, damage was caused to special power supply facilities, and technological production chains were interrupted," the official statement says. According to Oleg Dantsev, CEO of Sremniy El Group, the main task now is "the fastest possible resumption of production of electronic equipment." An examination is currently being conducted to assess the possibility of restoring the damaged facilities. "However, not everything depends on us - there are difficulties with purchasing spare parts to restore technological equipment and energy infrastructure," Dantsev emphasized.
The drone attack that shut down the plant occurred on the night of October 19, RIA Novosti reports, citing a statement from the plant's press service. That same day, the Russian Defense Ministry reported that air defense forces had "destroyed" 17 Ukrainian drones in the skies over Bryansk Oblast that night and in the morning. A similar statement was made by the region's governor, Alexander Bogomaz.
The factory produces components for the russian military-industrial complex.
