According to available data, since the beginning of the full-scale war, the defendant's enterprise has manufactured almost 5,000 UAVs.
The Security Service has collected evidence on Alexander Zakharov, the owner and chief designer of the Russian company ZALA Aero Group, which is developing unmanned systems for the war against Ukraine. This was reported by the press service of the SBU.
Today, this company, based in Izhevsk, is one of the largest manufacturers of combat drones for the military formations of the aggressor country.
Among the main models of unmanned aerial vehicles of Zakharov's company are Lancet drones, as well as the latest reconnaissance drones ZALA Z-16 and ZALA Z-20. According to available data, since the beginning of the full-scale war, the defendant's enterprise has manufactured almost 5 thousand UAVs.
Usually, the enemy uses Lancets as kamikaze drones for direct attacks on Ukrainian armored vehicles, and ZALA drones search for potential targets, adjust fire on them, and after defeat, record the consequences of strikes.
Thus, these drones have become an integral part of the Russian military invasion of Ukraine.
