Satellite imagery reveals Russia has significantly increased air defense positions around the 'Alabuga' special economic zone in Tatarstan, where 'Shahed' drones are manufactured. The site now has 33 air defense positions, including new concrete towers, platforms for 'Pantsir', 'Tor', and other AD systems, large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, and anti-drone nets. This reinforcement makes 'Alabuga' one of the most protected objects in Russia, comparable to Putin's residence in Valdai. Additionally, underground workshops are being constructed to expand drone production capacity.
