Kiev is expanding its drone attacks behind enemy lines, and claims to have caused significant damage to a facility in the Republic of Tatarstan. According to reports in the West, Russia is producing unmanned aerial vehicles according to Iranian guidance.

Moscow has never confirmed that such a plant is indeed being established on its territory, but an investigation published last year in the Washington Post revealed that this facility is early in the Yalbuga region, which is defined as a special economic zone. The third largest refinery in Russia, located in the province, was also damaged in the attacks.
