Voronezh semiconductor factory gets a very explosive upgrade
It turns out building the brains for missiles right next door to the country you are shooting them at is a risky business model.
Let us talk about the Sborka factory in Voronezh. For a long time, this place was quietly putting together the tiny brains—semiconductor matrices, transistors, and other high-tech bits—for Russia's favorite toys: the Kh-101 and Iskander missiles, plus their Pantsir-S1 air defense systems.
But there is a minor design flaw in making missile chips: they really do not do well when actual missiles come flying through the roof. Ukrainian cruise missiles paid a direct visit to the facility, leaving a massive column of black smoke and a very bright fire for the locals to admire.
The Russian military is about to find out how hard it is to build "high-precision" weapons when the main chip-maker has been reduced to a pile of spicy charcoal. The General Staff suggests this will seriously dent their missile production capabilities, and it is hard to disagree.
Good luck replacing those specialized semiconductor components with parts stripped from stolen washing machines.
