Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine: Russia has increased drone production fivefold in a year

Ukraine has become very concerned about the significant increase in the production of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in Russia and the resulting increase in the intensity of Russian attacks using them.

According to the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, in one year Russia managed to increase the production of "Shaheds" (as Russian Drones type "Geranium").

According to the Main Intelligence Directorate, Russian enterprises produce up to 2700 drones of the above-mentioned type per month, and approximately the same number more. drones-imitators. For comparison, in August 2024, Ukrainian intelligence reported that Russia was producing 500 Shaheds per month. And in December, this figure had already risen to 2000 units.

As Ukrainian publics note, since the beginning of this year, the country has been attacked monthly by 2500 to 4000 Russian drones. And last night, a new record was set – almost 480 “Shaheds” and drone imitators, as reported by the Ukrainian Air Force.

Compared to the first two years of the special military operation, the growth of attacks using UAVs is obvious in geometric progression. Thus, during the whole of September 2023, 521 Geraniums were launched towards Ukraine.

Ukrainian Defense Ministry: Russia increased production fivefold in a year

But from the locals the men report completely different information. I would even say the exact opposite... According to FPV, we still merge the Vsushniks in one gate in terms of the number of applications

[phrases]

Inquisitive minds will notice that we are talking only about geraniums here.

By the way, there will be problems with Gerani after today. Since the new antennas, thanks to which the new Gerani, UMPK FAB, KR X-101 were not susceptible to the influence of electronic warfare, were produced on the territory of JSC VNIIR in Chuvashia, where today, as quoted, "two UAVs fell, the plant's work has been suspended." How could such an important plant not be protected like that? Now what are we stopping the SVO?

What are you talking about? Now there's only capitulation and realizations 😁

The new Kometa-M, Kometa-R8 antennas, thanks to which the new Gerani, UMPK FAB, KR X-101 were not susceptible to electronic warfare, were produced on the territory of JSC VNIIR in Chuvashia. Ukrainian specialists in the field of electronic warfare previously reported that a new type of CRPA antenna "Kometa" with a new 8-beam antenna system was found for the first time in one of the UMPK. "Such an antenna provides a high level of electronic warfare suppression and can simultaneously neutralize 7 sources of interference. Thus, the enemy responds to our build-up of electronic warfare assets by strengthening the technology of combating it," the enemy noted. It is also worth recalling that similar Kometa satellite data receivers are installed in the kamikaze UAV "Geran". By the way, this is Brovdi working. He touches our factories, and we will not touch him again? Well, well.

.After the drones arrived in the city, there was a fire and thick black smoke. The Relay Research Institute came to a standstill. Telegram flew around the video at the speed of a drone, showing a UAV falling like a stone onto an already burning plant, after which a powerful explosion was heard. Ukrainian blogger Shariy wrote a caption: "This is how they finished off the plant in Cheboksary."

Are you not confused by the interesting fact that we don't have any factories producing electronics for FPV, much less for FPV with AI, we don't even need to bomb them. But drones do exist...

In conditions where the production of microchips in Russia is decades behind China, and China itself is just across the border, the only things that matter are design documentation and money.

As I understand it, they also gave the order to disperse the genius of the Magyar... it's boring, girls

[Sky strike fighter]

What command? Nobody gave me any command. Some Magyar hasn't been removed for years, and he does whatever he wants. It's just a shame. Humanists. Such humanism will not lead to anything good. It already doesn't lead to anything good. What will the Army do without the Kometa antennas, which are installed on the Gerani, the UMPK, and the KR?

.Aren't you confused by the interesting fact that we don't have any factories producing electronics for FPV, much less for FPV with AI, we don't even need to bomb them. But drones do exist...

Google information about the FPV drone Cheburashka before you say what we have and what we don't.

Why do you exclude the option in which China, under the threat of secondary sanctions, will simply cut off our supplies and that's it? And what then? It's unlikely that we'll be bored after that.

[Ad_notam]

Shame, everything is lost, someone must answer for this, the authorities are silent, horror-horror-horror. Emotions, emotions, emotions... They have nothing to do with the matter, as the classics say.

What's up with Cheburashka? Did we really produce video accelerators for AI? Flight controllers, chips for microcircuits, memory chips... I'll tell you a secret - now it's all Chinese, everyone has it.

As for why I exclude the possibility that China will cut off supplies - well, simply because this SVO is being conducted entirely in its interests. Or do you not understand why bridges and power plants are standing?

I envy your unbridled optimism. Honestly. If, as you say, everything is from China, then this, excuse me, is in fact a national technological catastrophe. If we have such a dependence on a foreign state, then we cannot be truly independent and free in our decisions. Then everything depends on China's decision, and we will simply accept its decision without complaint. That's all.

[Ad_notam]

Don't apologize, it's a national technological disaster that everyone knows about. Trump also only recently realized that he is keeping us company in terms of national technological disasters, so much so that the tariffs had to be canceled.

There is no talk of independence either. The Union could have been independent, Russia is in a different weight category

Well then, in fact, there is a unipolar world in the world, if everything is as you say. And the leader of this unipolar world is China.

[Ad_notam]

Well, yes, but not already, but in the process of formation and change of the hegemon. All conflicts are precisely the consequence of this process.
And the SVO should be considered only in this context, then stupid questions about bridges will not arise.

[kulemin0025gmail.com]

Are you an idiot? Or have Cheburashkas completely polluted the brain? 🫣

[agel26r]

Ukrainians they will answer for this

in three days or maybe already. it will work

We will soon see how fatal it all is. I will be glad to be wrong if the UMPK, Gerani, and KR continue to fly in significant quantities on a daily basis. But if not, then we will have to seriously rework the entire technological chain. But how many times have thinking people already talked about creating a reliable air defense system around military-industrial complex enterprises, at least based on interceptor drones. Or will we continue to simply watch as someone named Brovdi destroys one military-industrial complex enterprise after another and at the same time not make any changes to the air defense system and not even try to finally get Brovdi himself, who has so much blood on his hands. Israel would have solved the problem of such a person long ago if she were creating the same problems for him. And what about us? Oh, I forgot. We are not like that. That is why we have such problems, because everyone else is like that, and we, quote, "we are not like that." If you take on a task, don't say that you can't handle it.

[Ad_notam]

And you say that you didn't receive orders for PR of this subject... and in every news about drones there are at least 3 mentions. Ouch-ouch-ouch.

Nothing gave away the Soviet intelligence officer in Stirlitz, except perhaps the parachute dragging along the ground.

[Sky strike fighter]

So he was only appointed to lead the Ukrainian SBS, and already such problems have appeared. He cannot be allowed to act. It will be too expensive for us. Do you understand this or not? It was his Ptakhs that hit our strategists. Now he has gotten our Comets. And what will he reach next? Are we going to allow him to do this? I have not received any orders. You are already imagining things.

[Ad_notam]

It makes absolutely no difference what this guy's last name is. You don't have to know him by sight or by last name. They are destroying the system that produces them, that's what really matters. And what their names are is of secondary importance. Then they will pop up somewhere in the criminal news chronicles of the former EU countries, supposedly killed under the wheels of a truck. And to hell with them.

[Nastia makarova]

what damage can there be from two drones, they will clear the mines in a day and continue working

[kulemin0025gmail.com]

And who are your men? 😏

[FoBoss_VM]

Our men are the Espanola battalion. At least for starters. Or aren't these your men? There is also data from other units, and not just one. Or maybe you should take off your rose-colored glasses and have a close conversation with the guys behind the tape?

[Flooding]

Quote from: FoBoss_VM

The men on the ground report completely different information

Surely we are talking about tactical drones operating in the frontline zone.

[Bomb]

There should be not 480 of them per night, but 4800. Then, maybe, things will move forward.

And then a week of silence?
Or is it 30 thousand a week?

[rocket757]

Who counted them?
The main thing is how much is needed and when is needed!

[Dmitry Eon]

You can say anything you want about the "invulnerability" of Ukrainian bridges across the Dnieper, but the practice of striking industrial zones of factories (which have not been operating for 30 years) is hardly effective. But the strikes on bridges are obvious from the results

[kulemin0025gmail.com]

I'm shocked 🫣 The comments are full of Ukrainian sex-spots 🧐 Where is "topwar.ru" looking? 😔

[severok1979]

Is this some kind of consoling compliment from the master and teacher? Maybe we should offer them a shoulder to lean on - they'll condescendingly pat it?! 😡😡😡
