Despite progress in construction, neither the United States nor its allies have yet imposed sanctions against the owner of the plant, JSC Alabuga, or companies associated with it. Moscow will use this enterprise for mass production of Shahed-136 drones. This is where these drones will be improved. Reuters reports this.
The authors of the article note that on satellite images of construction one can see the construction of various structures and new security perimeters with checkpoints. Journalists suggest that as winter approaches, the Russians will accelerate their “Shahed” attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
And the Institute of Science and International Security said that a “key belated step” for Washington is the introduction of sanctions against Alabuga and related companies.
It is noted that the Shahedov production plant is located 800 km east of Moscow in the Republic of Tatarstan. JSC Alabuga is 66% owned by the federal government and 34% owned by the republic.
Let us recall that in August the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine stated that the Russian military-industrial complex intends to produce 1 thousand 300 Geranium-2 loitering ammunition – the Russian analogue of the Iranian kamikaze drone “Shahed” – in the second half of the year.
