Journalist Mark Krutov published satellite images of the Proton plant in the Urals after the missile attack. According to him, two buildings were significantly damaged. In one, they made silicon wafers, from which chips are then made, that is, the basis without which it is impossible to produce a chip. In one of the neighbors, they made the microchips themselves for the weapons used by the Russian army. The Ukrainian General Staff had previously authorized an attack on the plant's main production building. If both the wafers and the chips themselves are damaged, then the entire chain, from the workpiece to the finished part, is destroyed at once, and it will be necessary to restore it from scratch.
