 Ukrainian attack near Moscow disrupts production of Russia's best drone. In July 2023, Landsat Zala Eros Russian CEO, Alexander Zakharov, boasted that he could increase UAV production 50-fold. However, instead of an increase in the number of Russian landsats at war, the Ukrainian military has seen a decrease. This could be the result of a successful Ukrainian special operation, Rights Forbes. The publication claims that this assumption is confirmed by information from the Ukrainian OSINT Group, MOLFAR, which is involved in sabotage operations in Russia. Last August, a powerful explosion occurred at the Zagosk Optical Mechanical Plant in Sergiev Pozad, near Moscow. Initially, the Russian Federation claimed that a Ukrainian drone had been shut down over the factory. It later emerged that the explosion had occurred in the warehouse of the Pyro-Ros Fireworks Company. The arrested general director of Pyro-Ros Sergey Chankaev denied that the explosion had anything to do with his company. According to him, the explosion took place in another building. The publication suggests, given Russia's practice of withholding information, that the explosion took place on the premises of the Zagosk Optical and Mechanical Plant, which supplied certain assemblies to Landsat Zala Aero. There is no proven link between the factory near Moscow and the production of Kamikaze drones, but the explosion clearly had an impact, notes Forbes, citing statistics on the decline of Russian landsats in war. The drone is equipped with an optoelectronic guidance unit and a television guidance unit allowing for end-stage control of the munition. It does not use satellite navigation and is protected against laser weapons.
