Quote: "It can be stated that semi-knocked down (SKD) assembly (with foreign components) and domestic production but on a small scale are ongoing in Russia. The initial plans and the results achieved are different.

As of now, the aggressor state is able to produce a few dozen Shahed equivalents a month itself."

Details: Production is underway at a plant in Tatarstan.
