War and Sanctions: Defence Intelligence publishes data on Russian UAV manufacturers
Article top vertical

The Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine's Ministry of Defense launches a new section on the War & Sanctions portal, providing information on Russian weapons and military equipment manufacturers. The first published category covers UAV manufacturers from the aggressor state.

The section includes identification details of companies, descriptions of their activities, lists of associated companies, and UAV nomenclature.

Users can navigate through the list by companies or UAV models. For specific companies, links are provided to foreign equipment they use and identified components in their UAVs.

The Main Intelligence Directorate calls for synchronized and strengthened global efforts against Russian "death manufacturers"—to impose sanctions, limit supplies, and enhance control and accountability.

The published list includes data on 79 Russian companies involved in the production and supply of UAVs for the war against Ukraine. Among them are:

  • Companies producing Russian versions of Iranian UAVs, such as the Shahed-136 (Geran and Harpia) - OJSC "OEZ PPT Alabuga," LLC "Albatros," OJSC "IEMZ Kupol," and others involved in the production of these UAVs and their components.
  • The Zala Aero group, part of the Kalashnikov concern, which manufactures loitering Lancet drones and reconnaissance Zala drones.
  • Manufacturers of multi-purpose Russian UAVs Orion and Altaïr - OJSC Kronstadt and OJSC Ural Civil Aviation Plant.
  • Manufacturers of FPV drones, supplying their products directly to Russian units in Ukraine, organizing fundraising, pilot schools in temporarily occupied territories, and modifying their products based on Russian military orders.

The section will be updated with additional categories. Next in line: missile manufacturers.
