The company’s management expressed determination to overcome the challenges posed by the attack, emphasizing the unity and hard work of the team to restore operations. JSC Silicon El Group, a key player in Russian microelectronics, supplies products to numerous companies and employs over 1,700 individuals.
The recent drone attacks mark a continued trend of aggression towards Russia’s Bryansk region, prompting a counter-terrorist operation regime since August. Despite setbacks, efforts are underway to restore operations and mitigate the impact of the attacks.
