Intelligence revealed how many attack drones Russia is capable of launching in one day
Russia has managed to significantly increase the production of attack drones and their imitators by establishing a closed production cycle.
Russia is capable of launching up to 500 drones in Ukraine in one day, including attack drones and imitators. This was reported by the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ukrainian Defence Ministry in response to an enquiry by RBC-Ukraine.
According to information as of 15 June, in the arsenal of the Russian Federation:
more than 6,000 Geran-2 (Shahed-136) and Harpia-A1 attack drones;
over 6,000 more drone imitators, including the Gerbera type.
Intelligence notes that Russia is currently capable of producing up to 170 drones per day, with plans to increase that figure to 190 daily by the end of the year.
Actual capacity to date:
up to 300 attack drones per day;
together with simulators - up to 500 drones that can be simultaneously launched across Ukraine.
GSD emphasises: Russian Federation has been able to dramatically increase drone production thanks to its transition to closed-cycle production, which makes it virtually independent of supplies from Iran. This poses an additional threat to Ukraine, as the enemy can now supply itself with thousands of drones.
