Those clever Ukrainian FPV drone pilots have captured some great footage here INSIDE the Russian drone factory. What a coup! Their next drone flights inside will be weoponized!
Either that or we have the usual leaks from Russians who don't agree with the war. Ukraine will never allow such a factory to continue and it's just a matter of time before that factory gets hit, I'm sure they are working on a plan.
 
IMHO, that factory looks too clean and organized to be in Russia, anyway, someone is not wasting time nor resources,
Drones have advanced to become the only tool in warfare for a few Countries.
 
They look like Styrofoam model kits.

It could be real or propaganda. 🤔

Heck, we used inflatable tanks on the battlefield during WW II to give the enemy something to look at when doing reconnaissance missions.

It worked!!

Whether the factory is a fake or not, and whether or not the drones are made largely of rigid, expanded foam (why not?), Russia seems to have a plentiful supply of them. At least that's what the folks in Kyiv think when the sirens go off every night and hell rains down on them. Is Russia still getting a lion's share of its drones from Iran? Did Israel or the US make any effort to take down Iran's Shahed production facilities when they targeted its nuclear assets, or did the still-blossoming Trump/Putin bromance at the time militate against that?

I thought everything got "obliterated" on the first strike!?

No, the administration's "Mission Accomplished" boasts relate only to Iran's nuclear enrichment and other nuclear production facilities. I'm not aware that the US targeted any conventional military assets. I think Israel bombed a broader range of targets, air defenses, command and control, and missile launchers, etc., but I don't know if they went after drone production because it didn't and doesn't pose an immediate threat to them.

From what I gleaned in person at a Security Forum last week, this is pretty much the case.

Yeah that's right. I was saying it tongue-in-cheek meaning "The bombing taught them a lesson and pretty much rendered everything they have and everything they do from now on incapable and inoperable. They're learned their lesson and they know better than to do anything else bad going forward. And if 'I' had been in charge years ago, none of this would have ever happened or needed to happen because they would have known better!" IOW, a little bombing and some harsh words solves *everything* permanently.

At the end of the video it shows assembled drones they have a small air cooled engine can anyone see a propeller?
Yep. The propellor is clearly shown a few times
