The facility produces optoelectronic equipment and electronic components vital to Russia’s military-industrial complex.
Proton’s products are used in manufacturing weapons deployed during Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, including S-71 "Kover" air-launched cruise missiles, Iskander-M ballistic missiles, and Pantsir-S1 air defense system units.
The enterprise provides diode modules, inverter switches, and essential electronic components for onboard weapon systems. There is currently no official information on casualties resulting from the attack.
On October 22, 2026, Ukrainian strike drones hit Russia’s 75th Arsenal in Serpukhov, Moscow region, sparking a fire at a defense facility that specialized in the repair, restoration, and storage of air-defense systems, according to the Exilenova+ OSINT community.
