Russia can now produce 11,000-13,000 Geran variant drones per day and uses around 14,000 drones of all kinds per day on average across the entire front. The cost has been reduced to the equivalent of $13,600 each.Not only that they now use domestic engines not ones imported from Iran and China like the earlier generations.

The west now considers Russian drone production and capabilities as a "grave threat". For comparison in 2023 it was around 4000 drones per day at a cost of $25,000 each.
