[ColonelCassad] Russia plans to dramatically increase production of attack UAVs by expanding the Alabuga-Fiber plant in Tatarstan. By 2029, the facility is expected to receive a new line with a capacity of up to 500 tons of aerospace-grade carbon fiber per year. Carbon fiber is used in the Geranium's structural components and airframes, allowing for high structural strength while maintaining a low weight.
According to David Albright, a specialist at the Institute for Science and International Security, the additional 500 tons is theoretically sufficient to produce approximately 28,000 UAV airframes per year.
It's also worth noting that after the damage to the fiber optic plant in Ryazan, some claimed that Russia would be struggling to produce fiber optics for FPV drones for a long time. In fact, the problem has not only been effectively resolved, but fiber optic production in Russia has also increased significantly. Although there is always room for improvement. 28,000 Geranium-5-class units per year is quite a feat. The drone itself has significantly improved compared to its Iranian progenitor, now being more of a hybrid between a drone and a cheap cruise missile. The creative rethinking of Iranian technology has yielded excellent results, resulting in products that have devalued much of the enemy's air defenses, which is particularly evident in the unpunished operation of such drones against targets in Kyiv. Of course, the enemy is already seeking solutions to this problem, testing various jet interceptor drones.
But this takes time, and we are certainly not standing still in terms of both quality and quantity. And the announced plans of Alabuga will certainly keep Russia among the world's leaders in drone production for a long time. According to enemy intelligence, construction of new underground workshops is in full swing in Tatarstan, which, given the enemy's anticipated attacks, would logically hinder the work of the Alabuga complex of enterprises responsible for drone production. The new workshops will ensure further growth in production of the current and future generation of Geraniums.
