Open-source intelligence analysts have linked assembly of Russia's Garpiya-A1 attack drone to IEMZ Kupol, a subsidiary of Almaz-Antey in Izhevsk. Unlike the Shahed-136, known in Russia as Geran-2, which is tied mainly to the Alabuga special economic zone in Tatarstan, the Garpiya-A1 is described as a distinct Russian design. Analysts note its production is concentrated in a small number of identifiable sites, which could simplify efforts to map and disrupt its supply chain.
