Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] The report about the production of "Geraniums" in Tatarstan made a lot of noise. I was lucky enough to visit there when everything was just getting going and they were assembling up to 25-30 drones a day, not hundreds like now. This was probably the most vivid impression of the development of the domestic military-industrial complex.
The management of the FEZ did a colossal job, pushing through and implementing this project, which turned a simple clone of the Iranian "Shahed" into a permanent problem for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and NATO in Ukraine.
Of course, the enemy tried to disrupt the deployment of production in Tatarstan, because it continues to scale. There have already been drone strikes and even a couple of flights to the territory of Alabuga (one flew into a dormitory with foreign students). But this, of course, did not stop the production of "Geraniums". Now the production has increased many times. At the same time, both the quantity and quality are growing, and the strategy and tactics of their use are improving.
One can only dream that in our country large and medium quadcopters are produced at the same rate.
