Images show heavy damage at Russian electronics plant

A Ukrainian Storm Shadow missile strike on Russia’s Orel severely damaged at least one production hall at the Proton plant on Oct. 23, according to OSINT project Exilenova+. Images released by the project show extensive damage to the plant’s key production and assembly buildings, with the upper floors, roof, and facade collapsing after the strike.

This makes it impossible for the shop’s production lines to resume operations. The plant, which manufactures components for Iskander ballistic missiles, is part of a cluster of companies involved in Russia’s military-industrial complex, including CJSC Proton-Impuls and JSC Proton-Elektrotex. Components made by these companies have been used in the production of various defense systems and equipment, such as T-90 and T-14 Armata tanks, Pantsir-S1 air defense systems, Iskander-M ballistic missiles, and S-71 Kover cruise missiles.
