Partisans Sabotage Russian Plant Producing Components for Kh-101 and Iskander-K Missiles

The ATESH partisan movement said one of its agents sabotaged the power supply to the VZPP-Sborka electronics plant in Voronezh, Russia, disrupting operations at a facility it described as a supplier of components for Russian missiles and air defense systems.

According to ATESH, the agent gained access to an electrical substation near the plant after conducting reconnaissance of the site and identifying vulnerabilities in its security. The movement said the operative destroyed the main distribution cabinet supplying electricity to the facility before leaving the area.

ATESH claimed that VZPP-Sborka produces electronic components used in several Russian weapons systems, including integrated circuits, power switches, and power supply units for onboard computers and navigation systems in Kh-101 cruise missiles.

The movement also said the plant manufactures components for the automation and control systems of Iskander-K missiles, as well as semiconductors used in radars and fire-control systems for Pantsir-S1 air defense systems.

According to the partisan group, the sabotage caused a voltage surge and cut power to production workshops at the facility. ATESH claimed that restoring the plant’s full electricity supply took several weeks, disrupting deliveries of key components and delaying the production of missiles and air defense systems.

“Putin does not intend to end the war despite enormous losses and is preparing for a large-scale mobilization. The Russian military and Putin’s regime must be stopped for the common good,” the movement concluded.

The reported sabotage comes amid broader Ukrainian efforts to disrupt Russian air defense capabilities and the infrastructure supporting them. In a separate operation earlier in September, Ukrainian forces destroyed two launchers belonging to a Russian S-300 air defense system and a Pantsir air defense system of an unspecified variant near Sochi.

The Telegram channel “Absolutely Reliable Source” reported the losses on September 6, citing satellite imagery showing the aftermath of the strike. According to Militarnyi, the attack took place on September 4, when Ukrainian drones targeted a Russian air defense position in the area, with a fire subsequently reported near the site.
