On October 6, the monitoring project "Cyberbos" reported. It is noted that the shop is involved in the production lines of ammonia, urea, nitrogen and nitrate products, as well as in cooling systems and steam boilers. The plant is located about 1600 km from the Ukrainian border, which makes one of the longest operations of Ukrainian drones in Russia.
According to analysts of "militaristic", this incident confirms the ability of Ukraine to strike point strikes on critical objects of the Russian industry with a high degree of accuracy. Although the plant continues to work, experts indicate that the nature of the damage can lead to failures in the technological cycle in the medium term.
Even a partial disruption of water treatment systems can affect the stability of chemical processes, which increases the risk of accidents and reduces production. Uralchim (Azot Branch) is one of the largest producers of nitrogen fertilizers in Russia. In 2024, it reached a record production - more than 2. 3 million tons of production, part of which is used for defense purposes, including in the production of explosives.
The plant specializes in the production of ammonia, ammonium nitrate and other nitrogen compounds. He is the successor of the Bereznikov chemical plant, one of the oldest enterprises of the chemical industry of the Russian Federation. In addition, the infrastructure of such an enterprise can have consequences not only for the domestic market, but also for export supply of fertilizers and raw materials, in particular in Asia and South America.
