The russian military has already begun using Iranian Shahed drones assembled in russia to strike Ukraine.
Source. This was reported by Natalia Humeniuk, Head of the Joint Press Centre of the Operational Command South.
"The fact that the remnants of the Shaheds that were found after the latest attacks already had markings, for example, in Cyrillic, indicates that they are already russian-made," she said on the air of a national TV marathon.
This week, journalists from opposition russian media outlets published an investigation that revealed that students from the Alabuga Polytechnic College in Tatarstan were involved in the assembly of the Shahed UAVs in russia.
According to the journalists, on average, students earn 30-40 thousand rubles at the production site. Sometimes they have to work for several days without sleep and "practically without food."
Background. As a reminder, the Ukrainian government has allocated UAH 40 billion this year to invest in Ukrainian drone manufacturers, Prime Minister Shmyhal said. The funds are to be allocated to 40 Ukrainian drone manufacturers.
