The Russian drone plant that could shape the war in Ukraine

Live Mint  

Early last month, cellphone footage captured a Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle slowly winding toward its final destination in a new installment in the spreading drone wars—a drone itself was being used to hit a site where enemy drones were being made. Soon after Russia’s invasion in February 2022, Ukraine successfully used Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 drones to slow the initial march on Kyiv, radically changing Moscow’s plans for the war. Since then, Russia has launched over 4,000 Iranian-designed Shahed attack drones, according to the Ukrainian military, enabling Russia to target power plants and other critical sites deep inside Ukraine. A research arm of the Ukrainian military said in September that Russia was sourcing engines for the Shahed attack drones from China, identifying a company called Beijing MicroPilot UAV Flight Control Systems as a supplier. One part of Russia’s drone project involved an Iranian front company in the United Arab Emirates called Generation Trading FZE, according to the U.S. Treasury, which imposed sanctions on the company in February.
