We reveal those involved in the production of Russian “Shahed” drones. Who are they? Their names, addresses, and personal details.

Shaheds attack Ukraine almost daily. This is a horrifying reality, but we know where and, most importantly, who produces them. In this article, we will provide a detailed account of the people whose hands Russia uses to create drones for its war against Ukraine. We will expose the personal data of these individuals and prove that the so-called “students” are directly involved in the creation of drones. How exactly they assist the aggressor, what technologies they use, and why this can no longer be ignored—read in our report.

How has Shahed production increased in the SEZ “Alabuga”?

The Special Economic Zone “Alabuga” has gained notoriety for producing Iranian strike drones “Shahed,” referred to in Russia as “Geran-2.” These drones are assembled by students of the “Alabuga Polytechnic” college. In February 2024, the U.S. Department of the Treasury imposed sanctions on the “Alabuga” Special Economic Zone. However, it appears that these sanctions have not impacted its operations.

Regarding production volumes, information emerged in September indicating that RRussia is exceeding its Shahed production targets. By August 2024, production had already reached 6,400 units.

Since September 2023, the number of drones launched has begun to exceed the planned production volumes. By August 2024, Russia had launched approximately 6,400 drones, while Alabuga’s initial plan projected the delivery of around 4,800 units by that time.

Overall, the number of launches has been increasing, but a pattern is noticeable: after a month of massive attacks, there were 2-3 months of relative calm. In August, everything changed: 790 launches in one month, double the figure for July. In September (from the 1st to the 26th), there were already 1,131 drones, nearly three times the July level.

Additionally, at the end of October, a new container terminal was launched in the Alabuga Special Economic Zone. This is how the Russians aim to ensure uninterrupted container deliveries from China.

We previously wrote about the Alabuga Special Economic Zone (SEZ) and exposed some employees connected, among others, to the FSB. Now, we are expanding this list and publishing a registry of all employees of Alabuga.

In Alabuga, efforts are also actively directed at patriotic indoctrination of young Russians. On October 28 (as stated on Alabuga’s website), lectures and military reenactments were held. Essentially, such events prepare youth for participation in Russia’s future wars. Today’s students, playing at war, will later become part of the aggressor’s army, ready to kill, destroy, and commit new crimes.

Drone production at the Alabuga SEZ is part of Russia’s state military strategy. It poses a threat to Ukraine and international security. The students of this institution are involved in the production of lethal Russian weaponry. The Alabuga SEZ and all the employees of enterprises located there are legitimate targets for strikes by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. At a time when Ukraine is defending itself from constant Shahed attacks, the destruction of such facilities as Alabuga is not only justified but a necessary step to reduce the aggressor’s capabilities.
