近期，俄罗斯国防部发布了其位于鞑靼斯坦叶拉布加的大型无人机工厂的最新视频。视频展示了俄方如何大规模生产“沙希德”系列无人机，并重点介绍了这些无人机装备在皮卡车上的灵活发射方式。这些伊朗设计的“沙希德”无人机（俄方称“格拉尼-2”）及其仿制版本，已被俄军广泛应用于对乌克兰的大规模袭击中。视频中可见，部分无人机装备在美式Ram皮卡车上，能够快速启动并执行发射任务。该工厂的建立使俄罗斯能够大幅提升无人机产量，减少对伊朗的依赖，尽管乌克兰已多次尝试远程攻击该工厂。目前，俄军正通过大规模无人机夜袭，消耗乌克兰的防空能力，并可能通过增加无人机数量及升级弹头来增强攻击效能。

🏭 俄军大规模生产“沙希德”无人机：俄罗斯国防部发布的视频显示，其位于鞑靼斯坦叶拉布加的大型工厂正在大规模生产“沙希德”系列无人机。该工厂是俄国产“沙希德-136”无人机的制造基地，能够生产大量此类无人机，以满足其在乌克兰的军事行动需求。

🚀 皮卡车成为灵活发射平台：视频重点展示了“沙希德”系列无人机装备在皮卡车上的发射能力。其中，可见美式Ram皮卡车被用作发射平台，无人机装载在车斗中，能够快速在跑道状的道路上启动并垂直爬升发射。这种机动性强的发射方式为俄军提供了灵活的战术选择，也便于在不同地点快速部署和攻击。

💡 提高无人机产量与战术升级：叶拉布加工厂的建立使俄罗斯能够迅速扩大无人机生产规模，摆脱对伊朗的依赖。俄军正通过夜间大规模无人机袭击来消耗乌克兰的防空系统，并可能升级无人机的弹头，例如使用温压弹头，以增强其杀伤力。有评估认为，俄军未来可能在单次夜袭中发射数千架无人机，对乌克兰防空构成严峻挑战。

🌍 俄乌冲突中的无人机应用：伊朗设计的“沙希德”无人机及其俄制仿制品，在俄乌冲突中扮演着重要角色。这些无人机作为一次性攻击弹药，能够长时间滞空，然后俯冲攻击目标并爆炸。自2022年以来，俄军已将其广泛用于袭击乌克兰城市和基础设施，其攻击规模和频率不断增加。

Russia's defense ministry released new footage of its massive factory making Shahed-style drones.The footage showed how the drones can be launched from the bed of pickup trucks.Iranian-made Shahed drones and homemade Russian versions have been used in worsening attacks against Ukraine.

Newly aired state media footage showed Russia operating what look to be American-designed Ram pickup trucks with Shahed-style drones ready for launch in the back.

Zvezda, the Russian defense ministry's TV channel, released a video on Sunday spotlighting the large Yelabuga drone factory in the Tatarstan region, which is where the domestically produced version of the Shahed-136 is built.

While the footage primarily focuses on intricate manufacturing processes inside the sprawling factory, it also offers insight into how the deadly and highly destructive drones, known by the Russian designation Geran-2, can be launched.

The video shows at least one clearly identified American-designed Ram truck, with a drone mounted on the bed, charging down a runway-style strip of road surrounded by large mounds of dirt that could be designed to protect the site from attacks.

Additional frames in the footage show several drones taking off from unidentified black trucks with steep climbs, resembling airplanes.

At another point, the video shows five stationary black pickup trucks, all with drones mounted on the back. It also reveals the storage shelters in which the drones are kept before their potential use in the strikes against Ukraine. Like other truck-mounted launchers, the vehicles provide a flexible and mobile launch option.

The exact make and model of all the pickup trucks featured in Zvezda's footage are unclear. Stellantis, a multinational automotive group that owns Ram, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.

The Iranian-made Shahed-136 is a one-way attack drone, or loitering munition, that can linger in the air for a period of time before diving down at its target and exploding on impact.

Russia started using the Iranian-imported Shaheds to attack Ukraine in 2022, but it has since started producing them at home. The Yelabuga factory — which is more than 1,000 miles from Ukraine's border — opened in 2023, allowing Moscow to rapidly scale up drone production without relying on Tehran.

Ukraine has targeted the Yelabuga factory with long-range drones on multiple occasions.

Russia uses the Shahed-style drones in nightly attacks on Ukrainian cities and infrastructure. The bombardments have grown in size in recent months, with some consisting of hundreds of attack and decoy drones — the latter are designed to exhaust Kyiv's increasingly strained air defenses.

Some recent Western assessments suggest that Moscow may eventually be able to launch thousands of drones in a single night, a bombardment that could greatly overwhelm Ukraine's already heavily exhausted air defenses.

Ukrainians have said Russia has introduced new tactics with its Shaheds, making their attacks more complicated, and have modified the drones to make them deadlier, including by swapping out the standard explosive payloads for thermobaric warheads.
