Iran Helping Russia Build Drone Stockpile "Orders of Magnitude Larger" than Previous Arsenal
(CNN) Natasha Bertrand - Analysts from the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency said Friday that the drone-manufacturing facility now under construction in Russia with Iran's help is expected to provide Russia with a new drone stockpile that is "orders of magnitude larger" than what it has been able to procure from Iran to date. Tehran has denied providing drones for Russia. In April, the U.S. released a satellite image of the location of the drone manufacturing plant, inside Russia's Alabuga Special Economic Zone, 600 miles east of Moscow. When the facility is completed early next year, the new drones could have a significant impact on the conflict, the analysts warned.
