In the summer of 2024, the American authorities published for the first time the documents related to the establishment of a factory for the production and assembly of suicide drones in Russia with the help of Iran.
According to the report by the Associated Press, the number of employees in this production complex will increase from 900 employees last year to 2,600 in the current year.
Another part of the report deals with the low quality of the suicide drones of the "Shahad" model (designed by Iran) that are produced by Russia, so that in recent months 95% of them do not reach the destination they were sent to hit!
It is estimated that from the beginning of the war in 2022 until the end of 2023, Russia launched about four thousand drones against targets in Ukraine.
