The Governor of the Ulyanovsk Region <strong>Alexei Russkikh<\/strong> confirmed damage to industrial and civilian infrastructure. He later stated separately that <strong data-start=\"1151\" data-end=\"1195\">The target of the attack was an industrial plant<\/strong>, although the Russian authorities did not disclose its name.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1284\" data-end=\"1602\">OSINT analysts from the Russian independent project ASTRA geolocated the footage released following the attack and concluded that the strike took place in the territory of <strong data-start=\"1428\" data-end=\"1468\">JSC \u00abNPP \u201cIskra Plant\u201d\u00bb in Ulyanovsk<\/strong>.

However, as of the morning of 25 September, there is no independent confirmation of the exact number of strikes, so it is too early to assess the extent of the damage to the facility.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\" data-section-id=\"p5mxit\" data-start=\"1841\" data-end=\"1869\">What does the \u00abIskra\u00bb Factory produce?\u00bb<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1871\" data-end=\"2138\">\u00abThe Iskra Plant\u00bb is part of the Russian aerospace defence group \u00ab<a href=\"https:\/\/ukrmedia.news\/en\/main-news\/in-sevastopol-drones-were-detected-in-the-city\/\">Diamond-Antey<\/a>\u00bb.

The factory operates a testing centre for electronic components.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2649\" data-end=\"2919\">The European Union has added the company to its sanctions list, describing it as a Russian state-owned military-industrial enterprise that develops diodes, transistors and other semiconductor devices for the Russian Federation\u2019s defence sector.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"auto\" data-section-id=\"620j9r\" data-start=\"2921\" data-end=\"2961\">Components for the X-59 and \u00abPantsir\u00bb missiles\u00bb<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2963\" data-end=\"3089\">The company\u2019s particular importance to the Russian defence-industrial complex is confirmed by the base <strong data-start=\"3031\" data-end=\"3088\">War &amp; Sanctions, Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"3091\" data-end=\"3405\">According to the Main Intelligence Directorate, as part of industrial cooperation on guided air-to-air missiles <strong data-start=\"3167\" data-end=\"3181\">X-59M2\/M2A<\/strong> \u00abThe Iskra Factory supplies 3OT127A transistor optocouplers to the Yaroslavl Radio Works.
