Russia plans #FalseFlag attacks on Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant

Drone attacks against the occupied #Zaporizhzhia #Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) on April 7 and 9 were part of a well-planned false flag operation by the #Russian Federation

#Ukraine dismissed the idea that Ukrainian forces were responsible for the strikes, pointing out that Russia’s allegations involve “low-power close-range #FVP-drones” breaching the plant’s heavy defenses

In Moscow, a top Russian official was quoted as saying that #Russia plans to produce 32,500 #drones each year by 2030, allocating $7.66 billion for the project.
"This is 👉almost three times higher than current production volumes,” First Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Belousov was quoted as saying by the TASS news agency on January 6.

Drones have been widely used both by Moscow and Kyiv since the war began.
Russia mostly relies on the cheaply produced, Iranian-made #Shahed drones in its aerial assaults on Ukrainian infrastructure far beyond the front lines in the east and south of the country.

#Ukraine, meanwhile, has intensively used the "first-person-view" #FVP drones -- small drones originally meant for personal civilian use but modified for the battlefield.

Kyiv said last month that it planned to produce more than 🔸11,000 medium- and long-range attack drones, as well as 🔸1 million FPV drones in 2024.
