The plant at Russia ’s Alabuga Special Economic Zone recently started churning out thermobaric drones alongside the decoys.
The idea was to launch armed drones along with dozens of decoys, sometimes stuffed with rags or foam.
Unarmed decoys now make up more than half the drones targeting Ukraine .
Ukrainian sharpshooters spring into action to down the drones with portable surface-to-air missiles.
Leaked videos suggest Ukraine is now using helicopters to shoot down the high-altitude drones.
Moscow can still source the parts largely from China and via third countries in Central Asia and the Middle East .
Thermobaric weapons have a fearsome reputation because of the physical effects even on people caught outside the initial blast site.
Expert: “It creates massive fear in the civilian population. It’s very effective if the Russian Federation tries to attack our power plants,” he said.
