Russia has dramatically ramped up production of attack drones, particularly the Iranian-designed Shahed models, fueling relentless strikes on Ukrainian cities.
Satellite images and rare footage reveal rapid expansion at key drone factories, including the Alabuga plant in Tatarstan, where teenagers and even children are being recruited to assemble drones. Moscow aims to overwhelm Ukraine's air defenses by launching up to 2,000 drones in a single night, leveraging new technologies and mass production. The use of cheap drones is forcing Ukraine to expend expensive missiles, creating a costly imbalance.
This escalation signals a new, more destructive phase in the war, with Europe and Ukraine struggling to adapt to Russia's evolving drone warfare tactics.
