The Russians have launched the production of reconnaissance drones in temporarily occupied Luhansk. Agents of "Atesh" have scouted the location and learned the details, according to the Atesh movement.

"Our agent conducted long-term surveillance of the Luhansk aviation repair plant. This is an enterprise that specializes in the maintenance of aviation equipment. In particular, in the repair of helicopter engines TV2-117, TV3-117, main helicopter gearboxes, etc.," the representatives of the movement noted.

At the same time, on the territory of the plant, the occupiers have also deployed production and a testing ground for reconnaissance drones. A training center for drone operation specialists is also located in one of the workshops.

"We studied the territory, security, and work schedule of the facility, as well as gathered information about the employees and their vehicles. We remind you that this plant is a legitimate military target, and its employees are criminals who contribute to the continuation of this bloody war," added "Atesh".
