A part of the Russian military contingent left Syria, which led to Russia losing the ability to replenish its military capabilities with drones manufactured in Syria. This was reported by military analyst Dmytro Snihiryev on the FREEДOM television channel.
It is noted that a significant portion of Iranian 'Shaheds' - 'Shahed-131' and 'Shahed-136' - were supplied to the Russian Federation from Syria. The production of these strike drones was carried out at enterprises controlled by the pro-Iranian terrorist organization 'Hezbollah', the expert reported.
The volumes of Russian drone production in 'Alabuga' (Tatarstan) have also decreased, Snihiryev added.
We all remember the successful raids of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (HUR MOD) on Russian enterprises in this region, the expert noted.
Snihiryev also recalled the successful strike of the Ukrainian army on the technical school in the Kursk region, where Russian troops were training FPV drone operators and storing strike UAVs.
This is also an important point, as the Russian Federation lost the ability to recruit teenagers for training UAV operators and carrying out strikes with drones on Ukrainian units located in the Kursk region. Overall, Ukraine received a sufficient amount of positive news, concluded Dmytro Snihiryev.
