Taking into account the fact that the russian federation began to use Iranian "flying mopeds" in September 2022, it turns out that on average the occupiers launch approximately 180 Shahed-type attack drones per month.
Thus, as of today, the occupiers still have more than 200 of these kamikaze drones. However, it should be emphasized that this is only a "residue" as well as the fact, that Iran continues to supply the russian federation with these weapons.
At the same time, it is also known today that Moscow has already managed to agree with Tehran on the construction of a factory for the production of Shahed type drones directly on the territory of the russian federation.
It should be built in the so-called the Alabuga special economic zone of industrial and production type, which is located in Tatarstan at a distance of more than 1000 km from Ukraine.
It is known that the value of the deal itself is estimated at up to 1.5 billion dollars, while the deployment of production may cost 0.9 billion dollars.
