At present, Russia can produce about 2,700 strike drones of the Shahed type per month
Andriy Yusov, a representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate, said this in an interview with Novyny.LIVE.
According to Yusov, the Russian forces have ramped up production of the Geran-2 UAVs, which are an analogue of the Iranian Shahed-136.
“These are ordinary Shahed… production of this modification with a warhead today can reach 2,700 per month. Plus, separately, a significant number of decoys without warheads,” the intelligence representative noted.
He added that hundreds of such strike drones, combined with missiles during mass strikes on Ukraine, pose a serious challenge for Ukrainian air defense and missile-defense forces.
“And this is also a challenge for our partners, who must help us defend Ukrainian airspace,” Yusov remarked.
- At the end of June it was reported that Russia produces nearly 200 missiles per month and up to 170 drones per day.

Scandinavia should produce Flamingos and Neptunes for Ukraine 24/7.
Ukraine should be focused on this and less on refineries. Russia has plenty of excess refining capacity.
Ukrainian Armed Forces are increasingly capable of doing both.😁🇺🇦💪
