— Aug 17, 2026
A Telegraph investigation reveals Russia has built a network of secret drone bases near Belarus and Ukraine, identifying at least 10 sites and 59 launch rails, with about 20 rails longer than usual to support long-range UAVs; some launch pads are at former bases or rural sites and at least one facility can hold over 1,000 drones.
