The plant's main areas of production include:
- semiconductor devices;
- microelectronics;
- power electronics;
- diodes and diode assemblies;
- microchips for pulse power supplies;

The plant supplies its products to at least 19 enterprises of Russia's military-industrial complex, which are involved in the production of Sukhoi aircraft, Iskander and Kinzhal missiles. Despite sanctions, the plant produces nearly 3 million devices annually and employs about 700 people.

Strikes on Russian plants
During the full-scale war, Ukraine carries out strikes on Russian territory, focusing on targets of strategic importance to the enemy. Primary attention is given to military facilities, support infrastructure, and enterprises connected to the MIC.
These actions aim to weaken logistics chains, complicate the supply of weapons, and disrupt production processes that support military operations against Ukraine.
Recently, long-range drones of the Security Service of Ukraine attacked two MIC plants in Russia's rear — Bazalt and Splav.
