Russia has set up a weapons program in China to develop and produce long-range attack drones for the Ukraine war, according to European intelligence sources and documents reviewed by Reuters. IEMZ Kupol, a subsidiary of Almaz-Antey, has developed and tested the Garpiya-3 drone in China. Kupol informed the Russian defense ministry that it could mass-produce these drones in China. China’s foreign ministry denied knowledge of the project. Experts suggest this could be a significant development if confirmed, but caution that more information is needed. The White House expressed deep concern over the report.
