Expert assessed the likelihood of a sharp increase in the production of 'Shaheds' in the Russian Federation

The President of the Ukrainian Association of Pilots and Aircraft Owners, Gennady Khazan, believes that the Russian Federation may increase the production of drones of the 'Shahed' type by 10% monthly. However, limitations in production capacities and a lack of components may complicate this process.

Khazan urged caution regarding statements about the rapid increase in drone production in Russia, emphasizing possible staging of photos and videos. He explained that there are limitations in production, as even an insufficient number of engines makes significant scaling of drone production difficult.

According to the expert, although there is increased interest in drone production in Russia, the conditions of limited production growth may delay the rapid pace of its development. The presence of supply constraints for components may hinder the scaling of new drone production in the country.
