According to Russian and Ukrainian media, the Voronezh Semiconductor Equipment Plant (VZPP) in Voronezh, which was hit by several Ukrainian cruise missiles on June 23, is a company that produces semiconductor electronic components for Russian long-range cruise missiles such as the Kh-101 and R-500.
According to Defense Express, Ukraine successfully attacked the Russian military enterprise VZPP (comprising two facilities, VZPP-Mikron and VZPP-S) with a high-precision missile strike.
Footage posted on social media by residents of Russia's Voronezh province shows several missiles, most likely cruise missiles, hurtling towards the main building of the enterprise, repeatedly hitting the building along its entire length.
According to GUR (Ukrainian military intelligence), the VZPP enterprise in Voronezh is a leading developer and manufacturer of electronic components, producing complete Kh-101 cruise missiles launched from Russian bombers.
The plant also produces electronic components (1NT2514 NPN transistor assemblies and 2TS622A transistor matrices for the UVK-208 module, used in the navigation system); as well as similar components for the digital computer on board the Zarya-61M module of the R-500 OTRK Iskander-K cruise missile.
In addition to manufacturing components for long-range cruise missiles, the company also supplies electronic components for the production of the Pantsir-S short-range/low-altitude missile defense system.
Because the plant contains semiconductor manufacturing equipment that is highly sensitive to vibrations and airborne dust, the fact that multiple cruise missiles struck the plant, causing fires and structural collapses, has made resuming production in the near future impossible.
It should also be added that such factories in the Russian Federation often make extensive use of foreign equipment from leading Western manufacturers, either officially purchased before 2014, or later through "clandestine" purchasing schemes to circumvent Western sanctions.
Due to supply constraints caused by sanctions, not only repairs but even calibration is extremely complicated.
Ukraine has not yet disclosed what type of long-range weapon was used in the attack, which occurred more than 180km from the Ukrainian border to the factory.
However, another microelectronics manufacturing company in Bryansk, Kremny El, was destroyed by a Storm Shadow cruise missile attack on March 10th of this year.
