Logistically makes sense, though protecting it from a wild missile attack might pose a problem, I’m afraid.

It’s not like it’s easy or cheap to hide a whole production plant from curious people with smartphones, or indeed curious malicious moles with smartphones.

you wait until the conflict is over

Perhaps there could be multiple plants for different types of components with redundancy. The air defense has been remarkably good.
