In Russia, there is a rapid expansion of the largest in the country for the production of percussion drones in the special economic zone "Alabuga", writes CNN. The satellite images show that in recent months, dozens of new facilities have been erected here - production buildings, warehouses and residential dormitories. At the same time, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in the report "Military acceptance" does not hide this practice.
Thus, the CEO of "Alabuga" Timur Shagivaleev said that "boys and girls" - students involved in the production were engaged in production immediately after 9th grade, ie from 15 years. In addition to participating in the assembly of drones, minors are involved in construction work. In July, a tent camp "Alabuga Stroi" was opened on the territory of the object for students, organized by the movement "Russian Student Squads".
According to Tatarstan authorities, about 2,500 young people already work at the facility, in particular at the construction of the Mediterranean Park residential complex. Satellite images have seen more than 100 army tents since July 12, in which the construction participants live. According to experts, the number of working hostels in the plant has increased more than 6 times in a few months. Upon completion of construction, the company will be able to accept up to 40,000 people.
Analysts also point out that the enterprise becomes a key element of the military infrastructure of the Russian Federation, and the growth of its scale indicates the Kremlin's plans for the mass production of drones not only for war against Ukraine but also for export. We will remind, Russian state media published a propaganda video from a plant in Alabuz, which showed the process of assembly and scale of production of drones-Kamikadze type "Shahaped".
