Drone strikes hit Russian microchip manufacturing unit key to ‘Putin’s warfare machine’

Bociurkiw mentioned: “We are looking at various types of targets, for example the very aircraft used to bomb Ukrainian cities and kill civilians. And targets that help supply the Putin war machine such as these factories.

“The strikes were brilliantly, strategically thought out but when you tie this together, they are meant to weaken the ability of Russia to push more aggression into Ukraine.”

Some of Russia’s most subtle weapons methods are recognized to depend on microtechnologies.

A Royal United Services Institute study discovered that enormous volumes of foreign-made microelectronics are contained in a few of Russia’s most superior killing machines.

Investigators analysed 27 Russian weapons methods and items of navy gear that have been misplaced or expended because the begin of Russia’s full-scale invasion to seek out that “it is heavily reliant on imports of sophisticated microelectronics to operate effectively”.

In truth, it was found that of the 450 parts in Russian navy methods RUSI assessed, 318 seem to have been made by US corporations.

But now that Russia has been closely sanctioned by the West, it could have to rely by itself technological experience to maintain manufacturing superior weaponry, hinting at why the Bryansk microchip manufacturing unit was focused.

According to OSINT for Ukraine, the “domestic production of chips in Russia is limited” to 2 main corporations – Mikron and Angstrem.

It mentioned: “Both have faced significant setbacks due to a military focus on chip production, and Russia‘s inability to match the success of Western commercial entities in this sector.

“While the first company barely developed chips 20-30 years behind in capability, the second one went bankrupt. The military focus in chip production has meant failure for Russia compared to the success of Western commercial entities, dating back to Soviet times.”

Strikes have rained down on Russian land repeatedly this week.

The manufacturing unit was simply considered one of six areas focused in an enormous wave throughout Putin’s turf on Wednesday.

Strikes have been additionally reported on the Cherekhinsky navy base, whereas the Black Sea port of Sevastapol was hit with naval drones, based on Kremlin officers.

Bociurkiw mentioned: “Ukraine is bringing the war to the doorsteps of average Russians and the Russian elite. This also threatens Putin’s hold on power and it is a huge humiliation.”
