Researchers have published a massive database containing profiles of about 20,000 employees of Russia's Alabuga facility, where Shahed attack drones are manufactured, according to a serviceman Viktor Andrusiv on his Telegram channel.

What information was made public?

OSINT researchers created a dedicated webpage for each employee of the Alabuga facility and published the dossiers online.

The database reportedly includes the following personal information on workers involved in drone production:

  • Photographs, full names, and dates of birth;
  • Job titles, departments, phone numbers, and email addresses;
  • Home addresses, taxpayer identification numbers, insurance numbers, and passport details;
  • Links to personal social media profiles.

The project's authors say the database was published to document all individuals involved in supporting the operations of the military-industrial facility.

The plant manufactures Shahed-type attack drones, which Russia regularly uses to strike Ukrainian cities and civilian infrastructure.

The database of Alabuga employees is available at the following link.

Alabuga

Alabuga is Russia's largest special economic zone for industrial production. Since the start of the full-scale war, it has become the country's main hub for assembling Shahed attack drones.

Recently, OSINT researchers also reported that Russia is actively expanding its primary Shahed production facility in Alabuga.

Satellite imagery has revealed the construction of new production buildings and manufacturing workshops.
