"Shahed" drone
Aggressor Russia has increased production of Shahed-type kamikaze drones — up to 2,700 units per month.
This was stated by Ukrainian intelligence representative Andriy Yusov in an interview with Novyny.LIVE.
According to him, Russia’s current production capacity allows for up to 2,700 Geranium-2 drones per month — the Russian name for the Iranian Shahed. This poses a significant threat to the air defense system, Yusov said.
Along with strike drones, the Russians are also producing a large number of so-called “decoys” — drones without warheads. While such UAVs do not cause direct damage, they force valuable resources to be spent on intercepting them.
Yusov emphasizes that Russia is not technically capable of producing thousands of Shaheds daily. Instead, the enemy has recently been carrying out combined attacks on Ukraine.
“We are seeing hundreds of Shaheds in combined attacks together with missiles. Massive strikes are a serious challenge for our air and missile defense forces. This is also a challenge for our partners, who must help protect Ukrainian skies,” the intelligence representative stressed.
