Russia Increases Production of 2,738 Iranian-Designed Shahed Drones and Gerbera Decoys in Tatarstan Amid Sanctions
Dec 27, 2024, 01:17 PM
A CNN report indicates that a secret factory in the Alabuga Special Economic Zone of Tatarstan, Russia, has significantly increased its production of Iranian-designed drones, specifically the Shahed-136. The factory, which produced 2,738 Shahed drones in 2023, has expanded its operations in 2024, utilizing Chinese components and employing a low-skilled workforce primarily composed of Russian teenagers and African women. Additionally, the facility has begun serial production of 'Gerbera' decoy drones, designed to mimic the radar signature of real Shahed drones but made from plywood and foam plastic. This ramp-up in drone production comes amid increasing sanctions and workforce shortages faced by Russia, as it intensifies its air operations in Ukraine.
