Shahhedach's advantages are no longer: Ukraine caught up with Russia in long -range drones

Defense Express experts say that Ukraine is no longer inferior to Russia's production of long -range drones. And this is very important, given that the deep regions of the enemy are much worse protected from UAV attacks than frontier and central ones. The experience of long -range Ukrainian blows in the Russian Federation directly says that the deeper into the Russian rear - the less aircraft and the more effective the attacks can be.

The head of JSC "Ukrainian Defense Industry" (former DC "Ukroboronprom") Herman Smetanin reported that the Ukrainian defense has already caught up with the Russian Federation in terms of production of long-range drones-Kamikadze type Shahd-136, as well as in the production of other shock drones. According to him, which quotes the ArmyInform, this was achieved through licensed production of drones from private companies at the capacity of state -owned enterprises.

And such a mechanism was introduced not only on UAVs, but also other samples of weapons and military equipment. On the part of Defense Express, we note that the Russian Federation SHACHED-136 is currently gathering 330-350 such drones per month. This was announced in January 2024 by the Deputy Head of the Main Department of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense Major General Vadim Skibitsky.

It is not about the full production cycle, because the Russian Federation actively imports a large part of the components, including engines. It should be noted that in Tatarstan there are now two production lines for the manufacture of buildings. At the same enterprise, they are filled with imported units and units and some components of Russian production, such as combat units. But the plans of the enemy - to fully localize the production by 2026.

There is also an unconfirmed evidence that Alabuga plans are to reach about 800 ShahEDs a month, and the declared plans for the purchase of components show this. But now, according to the words of the head of JSC "UOP", Ukraine has reached more than a significant pace of production of long -range drones. After all, the rate of 330-350 per month is about 4,000 drones a year. At the same time, the Russian Federation demonstrates relatively low readiness to reflect the attacks with drones.

Of course, this does not apply to the frontal and border area, as well as Moscow, for which the Russian Federation was pulled on additional SCRs even from the Arctic, and also built a network of so -called Flakturm - anti -aircraft towers of the Third Reich.
