(BRYANSK, BRYANSK OBLAST) – New satellite imagery has confirmed the extensive aftermath of a precision strike using Storm Shadow cruise missiles on the Kremniy El electronics factory in Bryansk. The facility is a critical node in the military industrial complex of the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, with an estimated 90 to 94 per cent of its production dedicated to Russian weaponry. The plant specialises in the manufacture of semiconductors, circuit boards, and power modules essential for missiles, radars, drones, and military aircraft.
Visual evidence from the site indicates that four or possibly five Storm Shadow missiles successfully impacted the factory. Analysts observed five distinct blasts, though one may have been a secondary explosion caused by materials detonating inside the building. Further satellite analysis suggests that out of six missiles launched by Ukrainian forces, five reached the target while one was either intercepted or fell short of the facility. The missiles successfully penetrated the roof of the assembly workshop before detonating internally.
Ground level footage captured moments after the initial impact showed smoke rising from multiple sections of the factory, suggesting the explosions caused structural damage throughout the entire building. Experts suggest the facility, located approximately 120 kilometres from the Ukrainian border, has been rendered non-functional.
In a separate engagement, drone strikes recently targeted a facility near Donetsk Airport. Although initial reports suggested an ammunition depot had been hit, Ukrainian officials have clarified that the target was a ground robotic assembly facility. The strike resulted in four Russian personnel killed in action and five others wounded. While the components for these robotic drones are believed to be manufactured elsewhere in Russia or sourced from international suppliers such as China and Iran, the Donetsk site served as a vital final assembly point before the units reached the front line.
Satellite imagery shows the after of Storm Shadow cruise missile strikes on Kremniy El factory in Bryansk. 90-94% of its production goes into Russian weapons – semiconductors, circuit boards, power modules for missiles, radars, drones, aircraft and more.
