The latest attack on Ukraine where more than 23 people including four children were killed came at a time European media had been reporting Russia's increased drone manufacture under its Special Economic Zone program that uses labor sought through entrapment and other unorthodox methods.
The near-slave program that operates by ensnaring youths from third world countries in Africa, the Indian Sub-continent and South America has been running under a program that The Standard has previously reported described by Moscow as Alabuga Special Economic Zone (SEZ) established in the Tatarstan Republic.
The program, running under the name Alabuga Start according to European Investigative journalists, has been aiding Moscow's drive to increase its drones manufacture capacity, especially the infamous Iranian-designed Geran-2 drones.
By Friday morning Ukraine's air force said Russia launched 598 drones and 31 missiles into the country overnight, of which 563 drones and 26 missiles were shot down or suppressed.
