  • ATESH reported that one of its agents sabotaged the power supply at the Voronezh Semiconductor Devices Plant-Sbor in Russia, destroying the main distribution cabinet supplying the facility.
  • Manufacturing electronic components and semiconductors, VZPP-Sborka supplies critical Russian weapons systems including Kh-101 cruise missiles, Iskander-K missile systems, and Pantsir-S1 air defense radars.
  • ATESH claimed the sabotage caused a major voltage surge that shut down production workshops, with the movement saying full power restoration took several weeks and delayed deliveries of missile and air defense components.

  • ATESH, which recruits locals and Russian personnel to conduct sabotage, also recently reported destroying Russian S-300 and Pantsir air defense systems near Sochi in an earlier September operation.
