According to a report by the Institute for the Study of War, Russia has significantly increased the production of Shahed-type drones, including the Geran, Harpy, and Gerbera models, with the help of China. A new production line has been opened at the Izhevsk Electromechanical Plant, and recent investments in the factory in Alabuga highlight the dependence on Chinese components. Analysts emphasize that without these components, Russia will not be able to maintain the desired production volume.
