russian occupiers plan to involve students in drone production

The National Resistance Center of Ukraine reports that russians are considering the possibility of setting up the production of Iranian Shahed drones on the basis of seized enterprises in the temporarily occupied territories of eastern Ukraine.

It is known that the production of kamikaze drones is planned to be carried out underground and students of vocational schools will be involved in the assembly. According to the russian plan, production in the temporarily occupied territories should shorten the time for delivering drones to launch sites.

"At the same time, they plan to store the drones in urban areas, effectively using the local residents as human shields. Currently, the occupation administrations in the east are looking for the final places for assembling and arranging," the statement reads.

Earlier Defense Express reported about more potential Shahed-136 storage and launch sites to repeat the Neptun strike on russian Yeysk.
