ASTRA Named Second Factory Hit on January 13 in Taganrog – Electronics and Software for Drones Manufacturer

The second enterprise that was hit during the massive attack on Russia’s Taganrog on January 13 was JSC “Scientific Design Bureau of Computing Systems.”

ASTRA reported this, citing its own sources.

At the first enterprise, Atlant Aero, a missile strike destroyed the main workshop and several auxiliary workshops.

At that time, the city authorities declared a state of emergency.

Subsequently, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine confirmed the strike of the Atlant Aero. According to official information, the facility was hit by Ukrainian-made missiles.

Local residents speculated that Atlant Aero and the G.M. Beriev Aircraft Repair Plant could have been targeted.

The Beriev Plant has been hit several times previously, with the main workshop being struck in November alone, as well as the destruction of the A-100 laboratory aircraft.

However, as ASTRA found out, the second target was the Scientific Design Bureau of Computing Systems.

At least one drone fell on the territory of the enterprise, according to sources in the region’s emergency services.

According to public data, the bureau is engaged in the development of embedded electronic systems, computing systems, software, and data and image processing systems for transport, robotics, and automation, and is directly related to the Russian Federation’s defense industry.
