💨 Abstract

Vladimir Putin recently showcased a vast and secretive drone factory in Tatarstan, Russia. The facility, producing over 5,000 Geran-2 drones monthly, is a Russian version of the Iranian Shahed 136. Notably, the assembly lines employ teenagers from local technical colleges. Russia's drone production, aided by Iran, underscores the deepening military cooperation between the two nations, which are bonded over shared isolation and opposition to the West.
