Russian VP discusses industrial protection from drones

Bottom line

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Manturov convened a meeting on protecting industrial infrastructure from drones, discussing proposals to reduce fiscal burdens on companies investing in anti-drone defense systems.

Why it matters

The Russian state's effort to subsidize private counter-drone investments suggests a recognition of the vulnerability of critical infrastructure and a potential shift in how Russia funds its domestic air defense ecosystem.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov held a meeting focused on protecting industrial infrastructure from drone attacks. The discussion included proposals from the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (RSPP) to reduce the fiscal burden on companies investing in anti-drone defense systems. This indicates a state-level push to incentivize private sector investment in counter-UAS capabilities, likely in response to the increasing frequency of Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian industrial and logistics targets.
