russia localized production long time ago and made some upgrades to drones. ukraine did bomb this week factory that makes jam resistant antenna arrays and another one that makes assembly of drones

  As I understand it, it's not fully localized and a significant portion of the 2000 to 3000/month Shahed production still comes from Iran.

    ukraine intelligence estimates (saw it somewhere this week) that russia manufactures 170 shaheds per day. it's 5100 per month

      > 5100 per month I really hope that's not the real number, but it might be. Ukraine signing the Budapest Memorandum, and the co-signers' limpness when the agreement was crossed in 2014, seems like it will go down as the biggest nuke proliferation event in history.
