A Russian factory that Ukraine struck on Sept. 26 supplies electronics for a wide range of Russia’s missiles, potentially leaving Moscow without a fallback supplier, according to leaked documents obtained by the Ukrainian private intelligence firm Dallas Analytics.
The documents about the factory in question, Azov Optical-Mechanical Plant (AOMZ) in Russia’s western Rostov Oblast, cover April 2023 to March 2025 and include internal correspondence, state contract records and cooperation schedules. They also include letters from the Tactical Missiles Corporation (KTRV), the state holding company that owns the plant. Among the documents is an apparent supply schedule of more than 70 line items, naming 44 component suppliers.
The documents, Dallas Analytics said, place AOMZ in the production chains of “at least seven” missile programs, including the Kh-101 cruise missile, the R-37M air-to-air missile and the Oreshnik intermediate-range ballistic missile. An additional document provided to Defense News by Dallas Analytics lists a line item identified as components for an air-to-air missile with the additional comment “export China 192 pieces.”
