Over Half of Russian Drone Manufacturers Remain Unsanctioned, Impacting Global Security
DEFENSE
More than half of the key Russian drone manufacturers, such as LLC 'Agency of Digital Development,' Aero-Hit group, and KB 'Microb,' are not under sanctions, enabling unrestricted access to technologies and funding. The LLC develops cargo UAVs Svarog, used by the Russian Marine Corps, while Aero-Hit produces FPV drones Veles.
Ukraine's Defense Intelligence calls for these companies to be blacklisted to enhance sanctions and limit the aggressor's capabilities. The agency warns that military advancements gained in Ukraine may benefit Russian allies in the future.
