Russia wants to launch production of Iranian drones in Belarus

This is reported by the National Resistance Center.

The message from the Belarusian underground reveals that the Russians are contemplating setting up the production of Shahed type unmanned aerial vehicles in Belarus.

A working group comprising Iranian engineers organized by the FSB of the Russian Federation and the KGB of the Republic of Belarus visited the Gomel radio plant, where the possibility of streamlining the production of kamikaze drones was discussed. Previously, the underground had reported that drones were being retooled at the Gomel plant.

The National Resistance Center believes that these actions suggest that Russia continues to extend its control over the defense sector of Belarus. By deploying full-scale production of Iranian UAVs in Belarus, Russia can resolve logistical issues related to the transportation of drones from Iran.
