Russia: Head of drone manufacturer seriously injured in car explosion

A senior executive of the Russian drone manufacturer Uraldronsawod, Anton Tkatschuk, was severely injured in a car explosion that occurred on Tuesday evening. According to reports citing the Tass news agency, Tkatschuk is currently in critical condition on an intensive care unit, and medical staff are fighting to save his life. His driver died in the incident. Authorities are investigating the event under suspicion of attempted murder. Tkatschuk is the head of Uraldronsawod, which produces remotely piloted FPV drones used by Russia in its war against Ukraine. The company is sanctioned by both the EU and the United States. European Union assessments indicate that the firm receives special attention from President Vladimir Putin, as Tkatschuk personally presented the drones to Putin in 2024.
