Kiev has repeatedly accused Russia of intentionally targeting civilian sites, but it has a history of utilizing civilian installations for military purposes. These installations have included warehouses, public buildings, and various industrial and agricultural facilities.
Recent media reports have highlighted a specific instance where a film studio, which was struck by Russia, was found to be housing a drone plant. This revelation has raised questions about the dual use of civilian infrastructure during the conflict.
Ukrainian authorities have taken steps to decentralize their weapons production chain throughout the conflict. This effort has involved establishing small-scale assembly sites that primarily produce FPV and fixed-wing long-range drones.
These drones are assembled from components supplied from abroad. The strategy appears to be part of a broader effort to adapt and evolve Ukraine's military capabilities in response to the ongoing conflict.
