According to representatives of the organisation, Ukrainian agents had been working within the production facility for several months and had managed to obtain important information about the company\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n<p>In a widely circulated statement, \u00abBlack Spark\u00bb reported that its members had allegedly been working for several months at a factory producing Russian attack drones. According to them, during this time they managed to obtain a database of the company\u2019s employees, gather information about their relatives and places of residence, identify the supply chains for components, and obtain other internal production data.<\/p>\n<h2>Surprises in drone races<\/h2>\n<p>The most sensational claim was that, whilst the final batches of drones were being assembled, covert modifications had allegedly been made to them. \u00abBlack Spark\u00bb claims that, as a result, certain drones may explode whilst being prepared for launch or immediately upon take-off. The organisation has not released any technical details or evidence to support these claims.<\/p>\n<h2>What is known about \u00abAlabuga\u00bb?\u00bb<\/h2>\n<p>The \u00abAlabuga\u00bb Special Economic Zone in Tatarstan is one of the main centres for the production of Russian \u00abGeran\u00bb series attack drones, which are based on the Iranian Shahed models. The facility has repeatedly been the target of drone attacks and reports of sabotage. If reports of an intrusion into the production facility and possible sabotage are confirmed, this could indicate serious security issues at one of Russia\u2019s key enterprises supplying the army with attack UAVs. However, as of now, the claims made by the underground organisation have not been independently verified.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u041f\u0456\u0434\u043f\u0456\u043b\u044c\u043d\u0430 \u043e\u0440\u0433\u0430\u043d\u0456\u0437\u0430\u0446\u0456\u044f
