@coachstas: A newly released promo video by the Russian Ministry of Defence has unveiled the staggering scale of domestic drone production inside Russia’s Alabuga Special Economic Zone in the Republic of Tatarstan. The centerpiece of the video is the Geran-2 drone, which appears almost comically massive when compared to the factory workers building them. Touted as the largest drone factory in the world, this once highly secretive facility now openly boasts a production rate of up to 9000 drones—though the exact timeframe remains unclear. What makes this facility especially unique is that it was reportedly built by individuals with no prior experience in military manufacturing or state defense contracts. Described as a “people’s defence industry project,” it draws heavily on Russian historical symbolism, proudly displaying banners invoking Kurchatov, Korolev, and even Stalin as figures of legacy and motivation. The factory doesn't just produce drones — it educates its workforce. Thousands of young Russians both study and work on-site, contributing to what is pitched as a model of technological sovereignty. Every component — engines, microchips, wiring — is locally made. The video ends with a display of Dodge Ram trucks launching drones, ironically highlighting the continued use of sanctioned Western tech. This video sends a clear message: Russia’s drone capabilities are scaling rapidly. Whether viewed as a propaganda piece or a serious warning, the footage demands attention — especially from Ukraine and its Western allies.
