producing thousands of drones

At the core of this alliance is a drone production facility in the Alabuga Special Economic Zone in Russia’s Tatarstan region. Established in 2023 and rapidly expanding, the Alabuga plant is now producing thousands of drones with Iranian designs—primarily the Shahed-136, rebranded by Russia as the Geran-2. According to a detailed Washington Post investigation, the facility has evolved through three stages: initial assembly of Iranian-supplied kits, hybrid production using a mix of Russian and Iranian components, and a final phase of full-scale local manufacturing. Russian engineers now claim near-independence from Iranian inputs, boasting capacity to build up to 6,000 drones annually by mid-2025. สล็อต เว็บตรง
