Russia's ‘Frankenstein’ drone factory that could break Ukraine: Secret lab mass-producing drones

Russian forces are reportedly rebuilding captured Ukrainian drones for combat use at a laboratory operating in occupied Donetsk region, according to RBC-Ukraine, which cited Russian state agency TASS. The report says the facility dismantles damaged or captured Ukrainian UAVs to recover usable components, including motherboards, motors, frames, and other parts, before reassembling them into operational FPV drones.
