The occupiers are setting up the production of “Shaheds” within their territory: Humeniuk outlined the signs

Russia is attempting to produce its own version of the Iranian “Shahed” kamikaze drones, which they use to attack Ukrainian cities.

This was stated by Natalia Humeniuk, Head of the Joint Press Centre of Security and Defence Forces of South of Ukraine.

"It is absolutely obvious that some part of production has already been established because they even boast corresponding markings on the wings. They are marked with specific letters that are part of the Russian alphabet but not found in other Slavic languages. We also see activity of cargo aircraft in the direction of Tehran-Moscow and Tehran-Simferopol," she said.
