OSINT analysts tie Garpiya-A1 drone production to Izhevsk plant

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.

Why now: The identification of a specific production site for a Russian attack drone matters for sanctions and supply-chain targeting efforts.
