The investigation into the FPV-pts of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation conducted the Russian non-governmental media "Agency. Novosti". The journalists of the publication have investigated publications in Rosmia and concluded that at the Russian Federation at each specialized enterprise, on average, 2,5 thousand FPV-pts per month are produced. Meanwhile, in a few months they will be able to increase production up to 25 thousand units.
It should be noted that in this case, within a few months the Armed Forces of Russia will have 1. 1 million UAV per month. The authors emphasized that these are indicative figures, but in reality they can be several times more: only a third of manufacturers have sincerely told about the details of their work. In total, journalists accrued from open sources 44 production of various sizes - with a productivity of 400 to 5 thousand products per month.
The regions where they are produced were marked on the map. The map shows that some of the workshops are located close to Ukraine in the Rostov region. There are also people who do this in the occupied Crimea and Donbass. The study states that the Russians have established the production of different types of drones. Of these, 90% are FPVs, which are collected from Chinese components and cost more than 35-50 thousand rubles.
At the same time, one person per day can make 5-10 such devices, and a team of 5-10 people-already 1000. In addition to FPV-roms, there are the following models: reconnaissance and freight drones (development of KB "Valkyria"), Iranian drones-Kamikadze ShahED-136 (or "Geran-2"), Dron-Kamikadze "Skalpel" (development of the Russian Federation), unpaid types of drones from Izhevsk.
As a result, the authors of the study cited the opinion of Western experts who claim that a large number of reconnaissance UAVs does not allow the Armed Forces to advance. In addition, the Russians of FPV-oules are so much that they do not save them and use "against individual soldiers".
It should be noted that in the column on the portal The Economist, written by the Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces General Valery Zaluzhny, it is stated that Ukraine needs a technological breakthrough to gain success in offensive actions. Meanwhile, The Forbes noted that Ukraine is still producing 50,000 drones of various purposes, while the Russian Federation is "more than".
At the same time, in the spring of 2023, Defense Express experts indicated that the first one who will establish a massive output of drones will gain an advantage on the battlefield. Earlier, focus wrote about UAVs, which can be produced in production shops in Izhevsk. In particular, GUR spoke about the so-called "product-53" and "product-54": their Russians began to be actively used in the war in Ukraine.
