Absence of Russian military successes and hype over various drones laid down favorable conditions for Russian startups to develop and manufacture drones.

Russian design bureau «OKO» with its drone «Privet-82» [Hello-82] has been among these startups. Its prospects are vague but there is noisy Russian media hype over its «cheapest and most effective» kamikaze drone. For example, Russian federal information agency TASS has published six news about «Privet-82» since March 2023. Though, the drone has been tested only in June 2023.

On June 9, 2023, world media quoted US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby who disclosed US intelligence findings about Teheran’s supply of equipment to Russia for joint factory manufacturing Iranian kamikaze drones. The factory will be built on the territory of «Alabuga» special economic zone in Tatarstan. Its launch is expected at the beginning of the next year.

Mass media also published satellite photos of Maxar Technologies released by the White House. The Center for Journalist Investigations localized photos and identified company registered in «Alabuga» special economic zone. It is likely to become the contractor of the Russian Ministry of Defense for manufacturing Iranian Shaheds.
