Defence Intelligence representative Andrii Yusov has said that Russia has increased production of Shahed kamikaze drones to 2,700 units per month.

Details: Yusov said Russia's current production capacity allows the manufacture of up to 2,700 Geran-2 drones (the Russian version for the Iranian Shahed) per month.

In addition to attack drones, Russia is also producing a significant number of so-called decoys – drones without a warhead. These are used to exhaust Ukraine's air defence systems.

However, as Yusov stressed, Russia is technically unable to produce thousands of Shahed drones on a daily basis.

Quote: "But we see hundreds of Shahed drones used in combined attacks alongside missiles. Large-scale strikes are a serious challenge for our air defence. And it is also a challenge for our partners, who must help protect Ukrainian skies."

Background:On 1 September, at an extraordinary meeting of the Ukraine-NATO Council at NATO headquarters, Ukraine's Deputy Defence Minister Serhii Boiev informed allies about Russia's significant build-up of weapon production with active support from North Korea and Iran.
