A Ukrainian strike has rendered inoperable the Russian “Strela” radar electronics plant in Russia’s Bryansk region.
According to Militarnyi on May 11, the strike caused a fire that destroyed the facility’s main production buildings and storage areas.
The plant, located approximately 10 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, had been fulfilling defense contracts for the Russian Ministry of Defense.
The “Strela” plant was known for its close cooperation with the Russian state-owned defense conglomerate Rostec and specialized in producing radar and radio-technical components, including transformers, chokes, coils, and interference filters.
Russian corporate filings indicate the plant had supplied components to multiple defense manufacturers, including the Ferrit-Domen Research Institute (communications and radar systems), Electropibor (special-purpose communication systems), and the Izhevsk Electromechanical Plant “Kupol,” known for producing Tor air defense systems and Shahed-type drones.
In total, “Strela” completed 124 government contracts worth 172.6 million rubles (approximately $2.1 million).
Earlier, on May 4, Russian Telegram channels reported a fire at the Strela plant following an alleged drone or rocket attack. Footage showed thick smoke rising from the site, with damage to production and administrative buildings. Two security personnel were reportedly injured.
