Leaked documents from Russia's state nuclear agency, Rosatom, show plans to sharply increase the country's production of Shahed-type drones.
The documents describe a carbon fiber plant in Tatarstan. Carbon fiber is a strong, lightweight material used in drone bodies.
According to the files, the plant could add 28,000 drone bodies per year. This would raise Russia's total output of Shahed-type drones by 78% by 2029.
The leak has not been independently verified.
