Russia produces thousands of drones every month in a factory where part of its workforce consists of teenagers aged up to 15 years.
In a video shared by the television channel owned by the Russian Ministry of Defense, it appears that children work in the production path of Drone Kamikaze Black Gran-2 at the Yelabuga factory.
Teenagers up to the age of 15 years are invited to work in the factory immediately after completing the 9th grade of elementary school. According to the video, most of them came from the nearest engineering school.
The recording also showed dozens of teenagers assembled the drone components and worked in front of a computer in the factory lobby. “Wherever you see, you will see young people working,” the narrator said in the video.
