Russia now recruiting students for Shahed drone production - Break The Fake - TVP WORLD



In recent months, Russian media has begun promoting unusual recruitment advertisements aimed at students. The message is simple: assemble drones after classes, gain technical experience, and potentially sign a contract connected to military production. But behind the motivating tone lies a deeper story. These ads are linked not to civilian technology or defensive systems, but to the production of Shahed-type attack drones – weapons widely used in strikes during the war in Ukraine. Join Jonasz Rewiński for this latest episode of Break the Fake to find out more.
