Ukraine’s Air Force struck the Voronezh Semiconductor Devices Plant-Assembly (VZPP-S) on June 22, hitting a facility that supplied electronics to both Russia’s offensive missile programs and its air defense production lines.

Ukraine’s General Staff confirmed the strike used high-precision air-launched cruise missiles. According to the General Staff, the plant manufactured transistor assemblies for Kh-101 cruise missile guidance units, semiconductor components for the Zarya-61M onboard digital computer used in Iskander-K ground-launched cruise missile systems, and diodes and transistor modules for the Pantsir-S1 short-range air defense system.

The General Staff described the facility as “a critical element of Russia’s defense-industrial base” and said its destruction would significantly reduce Russia’s capacity to produce precision-guided weapons used in strikes against Ukraine.
Voronezh Regional Governor Alexander Gusev confirmed five people were killed. “We have sustained extremely heavy losses today,” Gusev said. “Several dozen citizens sought medical help, but most were sent home after receiving treatment.” He said 10 apartment buildings and six private homes sustained damage.
Independent Russian outlet Astra first identified VZPP-S as the likely target before Ukraine’s General Staff confirmed it. Unconfirmed reports from Russian pro-war Telegram channels suggest Storm Shadow air-launched cruise missiles were used in the attack. While Kyiv officially confirmed the use of air-launched cruise missiles, it did not specify the exact Western model or brand name.

Roughly 125 miles from the Ukrainian border, the plant shares its building with VZPP-Mikron JSC, a firm under Taiwanese sanctions since May 2022.
The Insider previously found that VZPP-Mikron sourced Taiwanese silicon for chips used by the Russian military, linking the facility to a broader sanctions-evasion network inside Russia’s defense industry.
Ukraine also struck Russia’s Dubna satellite communications centre in the Moscow region on June 22. The General Staff said heavy smoke was observed at the site and damage assessment was ongoing.
