Documents reviewed by Politico show Russia is expanding its Alabuga-Volokno plant in Tatarstan, potentially enabling production of an additional 28,000 jet-powered Geran-series attack drones per year, a 78% increase. Separately, documents from Russia's state nuclear corporation reveal plans to expand output of carbon fiber used in Geran-2 drones. The expansion comes as European officials grow increasingly concerned about a rising number of sabotage attacks and drone incidents linked to Russia in NATO countries, with intelligence agencies reportedly warning Russia could take more aggressive action in Europe in coming months.
