⚡️🇷🇺⚠️ – Russia is expanding Rosatom's Alabuga-Volokno factory in Tatarstan, in an effort to significantly increase its production of military-grade carbon fiber, a key component of Moscow's 'Geran' one-way attack drones.

The expansion could translate into 500 additional tons of carbon fiber every year by 2029, allowing production of drones to increase by 78%—from the current 36,000 'Gerans' per year to 64,000 (or around 175 drones per day).
