Base, staff, logistics: hackers have found out how the Shahmed Factory works in the Russian Federation (photo)

How the system of replenishment in the arsenal of Russian invaders (supply, production itself) was built, explored and published the Militarian site. The successful work of the Prana Network hackers, which in early February, helped to learn as much as possible about these murders, which in early February this year they broke the e-mail of the Sahara Thunder Fart Company related to the Corps of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution (Quir).

This company has a number of documents that managed to find out that since April 2023, the SHAHED-136 drones from Iranian spare parts have been operating in the Russian Federation. Currently, Russians seek to launch their own production with a capacity of 6000 drones in 2025 for 2. 5 years and will cost Russia 108. 5 billion rubles. The key contractors for the production of drones are two companies - JSC "OEZ PPT Alabuga" and "Alabuga Machiners".

They are responsible for the end result and contact the Iranian side. They also act as payers and end recipients of the product supplied by Iran. More specifically - they are responsible for the production of mechanical parts, fuselage, certain elements of electronics. The production complex worth $ 131 million is located on the basis of the Synergy Industrial Park, which provides production space for the enterprise.

It was here that a preferential tax zone "Alabuga" and localized foreign companies were created. However, after they left the Russian market through sanctions, the industrial base and the entire infrastructure were reformatted for new needs. That is why the collection of these UAVs, which Iranian engineers began to be set up in January 2023, and launched in April last year. Iran completely or partially conveyed everything necessary, including machines, production lines and assembly.

All equipment is of foreign origin, in particular, there are Taiwan products (Chiah Chyun CT2-52ym) and China. Production itself is located on several floors of one building. They deploy three parallel lines of fuselage production, as well as the final assembly line, where the fuel system, mechanical elements and electronics are installed in the finished body.

The found documents also indirectly follows the fact that there are 10,000 square meters in the Alabuga economic zone, which works with electronic components and software for Iranian drones. But where it is located is unknown. The project of the plant in Alabuz involves the production cycle, which is able to provide the production of 10 products per day at three -shift operation. The annual rate of production, according to the plans, was to reach 2500 products a year.

Files were found production documentation, namely SOP documents - an archive of standard operating procedures, which is actually an instruction for workers with a detailed step -by -step description of each stage of production. In addition, the expected cost of the drone Shahd-136-$ 48. 8 thousand, with the lion's share is spent on the payroll fund. However, from the documents it becomes clear that these UAVs are transferred at a price of $ 165. 5 thousand.

The UAV assembly plant is designed for 24-hour changes. Each change should work 882 people. At the same time, the plant works without weekends and on holidays, and in order to work, there is an increased remuneration "for workers and students". The mention of the latter is most likely concerned with the Alabuga Polytechnic "Alabuga", which prepares Russian and foreign students of technical specialties.

The educational institution does not hide that the training includes active involvement of students in work at local enterprises. This information is confirmed by the article in the New Gazeta, which reported that adolescents of 15-17 years-students of Alabuga Polytechn-are involved in the production of drones Shahd-136. Young people from Africa and Asia are referred to, which even in the staff painting are referred to as "mulatto", "Tajiki".

According to the newspaper, students get a salary in the range of 30-40 thousand rubles, depending on the implementation of the plan ($ 330-430). In addition, overtime work is not in any way compensated. Logistics support for technology and finished products, as well as financial transactions, is carried out through the Iranian intermediary company Sahara Thunder, which a group of Hackers Prana Network links directly with the Quirus.

Also, the hackers have invoices and a contract for supply registered at the UAE Generation Trading FZE of various equipment and raw materials (steel, nickel) for tens of millions of dollars. For the supply of components and equipment to Alabuga from Iran, which is masked of Ireland, three routes were developed within the so-called transport corridor "North-South": standard 20 or 40-foot containers are used to deliver the sea. which load boxes that are overloaded into trucks or rail transport.

The company "Sarmat", Edwans Shipping LLC and TF "PTS-EXPARDATION" LLC was considered first for the organization of maritime transport, but later the company "Eurasia Shipping" was selected later, which organized the transportation of large cargo consignments. It is indicative that this company has links to the Russian Ministry of Defense through the intermediary. It owns only one ship - Sulak (IMO: 9462859).

As the Caspian Sea, according to monitoring services, there are no specialized containers, it is likely that Sulak is involved in the transportation of goods in the interests of Alabuga. The documents feature different million in foreign currency, but it is interesting that Russia and Iran, under sanctions, resort to unconventional payment methods.

Yes, a number of documents have been published, which testify at least two cases of transferring batch of gold ingots from Alabuga Machiners to the Iranian company Sahara Thunder, which is a mediator in this story. In total, 3. 85 tons of gold in the total amount of $ 224. 8 million were transferred in these two transactions, which, however, obviously does not cover the full cost of the agreement. Therefore, it is likely that other forms of barter were involved within the agreement.

For example, interest is the visit of the Iranian delegation to the enterprises of the Holding of JSC "Technodynamics" as part of the State Corporation "Rostech", which took place in March 2023. It is possible that the purpose of the visit was to inspect the technique that Russia could transfer to Iran-it is worth mentioning that Iran confirmed an agreement on the receipt from the Russian Federation of shock helicopters of MA-28, Su-35 fighters and training aircraft Yak-130.

The interests of the Russian military-political leadership in the production of Iranian drones are not limited to Shahd-136 alone. The documents found include data on the study of modernized samples, which have been represented by Iran only in recent years. It is a plans for localization of UAVs equipped with a jet engine, a system of capture of targets, drones-retranslators and reconnaissance UAVs.

It is envisaged that according to the documents, the adaptation of production to the release of new samples of drones will be "with the least cost and in a short time", since it will be made on the same lines as Shahd-136 (fuselage, engine, avionic). The estimated cost of new drones was also mentioned: the Issue of the Shahd-236 drone with the internal combustion engine and the relaying station may also be established, which would increase the work range.

Earlier, military expert Mikhail Zhirokhov told what the targets could attack Shahd with a thermobaric BC. Such charges have large affected properties, but cannot punch obstacles. Recall that in Russia showed modified unmanned aerial vehicles "Lancet". The new UAV is intended for group strike. To this end, a several drones were developed. There is also an individual starting container.
