> Almaz-Antey has started serial production of the Garpiya-A1 (E) unmanned aerial vehicle system, Rosoboronexport CEO Alexander Mikheyev said. The loitering munition has a range of up to 1,000 km, and production is now sufficient to meet foreign contracts on competitive timelines without reducing Russia’s defense capabilities.
