To spread: the Russian Federation scales the production of shock drones

Russian "Shahda" became cheaper: how much the Russian Federation managed to reduce the cost of production

To spread: the Russian Federation scales the production of shock drones "Shahaned". Due to the increase in the pace of manufacture and a number of other factors today, these drones are much cheaper than in 2022. The starting value of Iranian Shahaneda was more than $ 370 thousand. Provided the order for 2000 units, it decreased to $ 290 thousand, and by 6000 units - up to 193 thousand dollars, which is probably the price for which some Russian Federation had bought "Shahda", writes Defense Express.

In turn, CNN with reference to Ukraine's military intelligence reports that this year the cost of one Shahaneda has decreased to $ 70,000. This was made possible, in particular, through the production of UAVs on Alabuga. Experts also mentioned data from the authoritative CSIS Analytical Center, according to which the value of one Shahhed drone in February was about $ 35,000 thousands of thousands of dollars. Later, in May, it was already about $ 20-50 thousand.

Defense Express suggests that the price of $ 20,000 for Shahaneda can be low. The figures of $ 50-70 thousand experts consider more realistic. According to them, the enemy uses the engine without starter and flywheel to maximize cheaper. "If you take $ 70,000, it is almost three times a decrease compared to the price of the end of 2022 - early 2023," the publication said.
