On October 24, 2026, the Ukrainian General Staff confirmed information about strikes on strategic facilities in Russia, specifically the "TolyattiKauchuk" plant and the "Proton-Electroteks" facility in Oryol. These strikes may significantly impact the production of components for cruise and ballistic missiles.
Strike on the "TolyattiKauchuk" Plant
According to the General Staff, an explosion and fire were recorded in the area of the "TolyattiKauchuk" plant. This facility specializes in the production of:
- synthetic rubber;
- monomers;
- fractions;
- high-octane additives for gasoline.
Due to its specialization, the plant is a crucial element of the Russian industry, and its damage may lead to serious consequences for the productions that rely on these materials.
Attack on "Proton-Electroteks"
The "Proton-Electroteks" facility located in Oryol also suffered a strike. This is one of the leading manufacturers of optoelectronics in Russia, supplying components for armaments, including:
- modules for the S-71 "Kover" missiles;
- inverters for "Iskander-M";
- "Pantsir-S1" complexes.
The damage to the main production building of the facility may complicate the supply of critically important components for Russian military systems.
Strikes on the "Yeysk" Airfield
Additionally, Ukrainian forces struck an aircraft at the "Yeysk" airfield in the Krasnodar region. This attack is part of a broader strategy aimed at dismantling Russian military capabilities.
