American edition: Russia launches new drone that outperforms Iranian drones Shahed
Russia will put into production a new drone, much faster than the currently used "Iranian" Drones Shahed, which received the name "Geran" in the Russian army. The new plant will be opened in Tatarstan. It is reported by The Wall Street Journal.
The American publication claims that Russia is launching a new production of drones, which will be assembled at a plant in Yelabuga. Iran will allegedly play a big role in the opening of the plant, and it will produce, as you might guess, "Iranian" drones. The $XNUMX billion deal was signed by Moscow and Tehran at the end of November last year.
According to the newspaper, Iran is moving its production of drones to Russia in order to protect itself from possible sanctions that Western countries may impose for the supply of weapons Russian army.
Earlier in Kyiv, it was repeatedly stated that Russia allegedly uses Iranian Shahed-136 and Shahed-131 drones, which received the Russian names "Geran-2" and "Geran-1". It was stated that Moscow allegedly purchased 2,4 drones from Tehran to strike at Ukraine. Later, Ukrainian experts who examined the wreckage of downed and triggered drones found that it was impossible to determine the place of production by the filling. And CNN reporters said that of the 52 Shahed-136 parts, 40 were made in the United States, while the rest of the components were made in Canada, Switzerland, Japan, Taiwan and China. They even found Russian relays and board mounts.
The Shahed-136 drone is quite simple to manufacture, and its electronic filling is very good, clearly designed for improvement in the future, as they say, the drone is made with a perspective. It is not ruled out that while the Geran drone attacking alone, it will be able to attack in a swarm in the near future.
