Russia is building military drones in China, according to an exclusive released by Reuters on Wednesday.
Drones have become a mainstay of the conflict, sparked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Kyiv has in recent weeks stepped up its own UAV offensives, deploying them deep into Russian territory to target infrastructure and supply depots.
The Biden administration has sanctioned several Chinese companies it says were involved in supplying Russia with drone components and other military-related goods. However, it’s the first time China has been reported to be furnishing Russia with the airborne weapons in their entirety.
