Russia plans to launch domestic production of Iranian drones – Danilov

Russia plans to launch domestic production of Iranian drones in the city of Tolyatti.

"We understand what is happening there. We know the locations where they are going to do this. One of them is Tolyatti, there are also other cities. Our intelligence works simply flawlessly on many issues, and we understand in advance what steps they may take," Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksiy Danilov said during the nationwide telethon.

Danilov noted that many companies refuse to supply parts for these drones, so it is not known how the Russians will replace the components.

"What they will make their drones out of is a big question," the NSDC Secretary added.

As reported, the Russians already received the second batch of Iranian-made Shahed kamikaze drones – about 250 units. The first batch included about 400 drones. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are already successfully destroying the units from the second batch.
