In a UAV assembly laboratory located in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), Russian forces have reportedly produced between 300 and 400 combat first-person view (FPV) drones in just 15 days. The production process involves recycling approximately 1,500 captured Ukrainian drones, with the commander of the 1194th Regiment's unmanned systems detachment, known by the call sign 'Tourist,' stating that it takes about five to six seized drones to create one operational unit. The lab utilizes a conveyor-belt process, where specialists are assigned to disassemble captured drones, update firmware, and assemble the finished products while also training pilots. This systematic approach allows for efficient utilization of enemy technology.
