Russia is expanding Rosatom’s Alabuga-Volokno factory in Tatarstan to increase military-grade aerospace carbon fiber production by 500 tons annually by 2029, according to plans obtained by POLITICO. Weapons expert David Albright estimates the additional capacity could supply carbon fiber for 28,000 more Shahed-136-type drone airframes each year, a 78% increase. Satellite imagery reportedly shows land beside the existing factory already being cleared for construction.
