Baku TV: CIS citizens forced to assemble Iranian Shahed-136 drones in Russia

Citizens of CIS countries, including Azerbaijan, are being fraudulently recruited to work at a secret factory illegally producing Iranian drones in Tatarstan (Russia), Report informs via Baku TV.

According to the information, advertisements about the Alabuga Start program are being actively distributed online, which provides employment for citizens of CIS countries, but not Russia, in the special economic zone of high-tech production in the Republic of Tatarstan (Russia).

"A bright, attractive website, promises career growth and interesting work. Everything seems fine, but people, hoping for promising earnings, get jobs there, move to this zone, and end up being involved in something different from what was advertised," the report states.

Following its own investigation, Baku TV found that young CIS citizens under 22 years old are being fraudulently recruited to produce Iranian Shahed-136 attack drones. Those who refuse to do such work are subjected to pressure and blackmail, and their documents are confiscated.

"According to our data, citizens of Azerbaijan under 22 years of age are currently being held there," Baku TV notes.
