Production of kamikaze drones to cater to the needs of the special military operation has started in Kamchatka, the region's head, Vladimir Solodov, said on his Telegram account.
"The production of kamikaze drones has been launched in the Kamchatka region - they will be sent to our fighters in the special military operation zone. The first batch - 80 drones - is already ready for delivery. Soldiers of the 40th marine brigade, soldiers of the 110th and 164th brigades will receive the equipment," Solodov wrote.
He added that the regional government will still have to provide a number of Kamchatka manufacturers, operators, and training for units of the Russian Armed Forces, which are based in Kamchatka, to operate and service drones.
"We have such an opportunity thanks to the fact that the project has received support under the Territory of Advanced Development 'Patriotic'," Solodov added.
