Russia appears to be launching its exploding Shahed-style drones from American-designed pickup trucks
Newly aired state media footage showed Russia operating what look to be American-designed Ram pickup trucks with Shahed-style drones ready for launch in the back. Zvezda, the Russian defense ministry's TV channel, released a video on Sunday spotlighting the large Yelabuga drone factory in the Tatarstan region, which is where the domestically produced version of the Shahed-136 is built. While the footage primarily focuses on intricate manufacturing processes inside the sprawling factory, it also offers insight into how the deadly and highly destructive drones, known by the Russian designation Geran-2, can be launched. The video shows at least one clearly identified American-designed Ram truck, with a drone mounted on the bed, charging down a runway-style strip of road surrounded by large mounds of dirt that could be designed to protect the site from attacks. Additional frames in the footage show several drones taking off from unidentified black trucks with steep climbs, resembling airplanes. At another point, the video shows five stationary black pickup trucks, all with drones mounted on the back. It also reveals the storage shelters in which the drones are kept before their potential use in the strikes against Ukraine. Like other truck-mounted launchers, the vehicles provide a flexible and mobile launch option. 🔴 This is how the Russian forces launch Shahed drones to attack Ukraine, using American Dodge pickup trucks, as seen in videos released by Russian state media. — UNITED24 Media (@United24media) July 20, 2025 The exact make and model of all the pickup trucks featured in Zvezda's footage are unclear. Stellantis, a multinational automotive group that owns Ram, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider. The Iranian-made Shahed-136 is a one-way attack drone, or loitering munition, that can linger in the air for a period of time before diving down at its target and exploding on impact. Russia started using the Iranian-imported Shaheds to attack Ukraine in 2022, but it has since started producing them at home. The Yelabuga factory — which is more than 1,000 miles from Ukraine's border — opened in 2023, allowing Moscow to rapidly scale up drone production without relying on Tehran. Ukraine has targeted the Yelabuga factory with long-range drones on multiple occasions. Russia uses the Shahed-style drones in nightly attacks on Ukrainian cities and infrastructure. The bombardments have grown in size in recent months, with some consisting of hundreds of attack and decoy drones — the latter are designed to exhaust Kyiv's increasingly strained air defenses. Some recent Western assessments suggest that Moscow may eventually be able to launch thousands of drones in a single night, a bombardment that could greatly overwhelm Ukraine's already heavily exhausted air defenses. Ukrainians have said Russia has introduced new tactics with its Shaheds, making their attacks more complicated, and have modified the drones to make them deadlier, including by swapping out the standard explosive payloads for thermobaric warheads.

Russia sticking to its war demands amid Trump sanctions threat
The Kremlin is sticking to its war demands, even as President Trump makes new threats of sanctions if Russian President Vladimir Putin does not agree to a ceasefire with Ukraine in less than 50 days. 'Russia is ready to move swiftly. The most important thing for us is to achieve our goals. Our goals are clear, obvious, they have not changed. But the process does not depend on us alone,' Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said in an interview published by Russian state news agency TASS. Trump warned on July 14 that Russia had 50 days to agree to a deal, or the president said he was prepared to levy 100 percent economic sanctions targeting nations that do business with Russia. The threat came on the same day Trump announced a deal with NATO to provide weapons to Ukraine. The president has in recent weeks expressed increasing frustration with Putin as Moscow continues to fire missiles into Ukraine despite the White House's push for a ceasefire. The White House doubled down on its position in a statement responding to Peskov's recent comments. 'The brutal Russia-Ukraine War was brought on by Joe Biden's incompetence, and it has gone on for far too long,' White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said in a statement. 'President Trump wants to stop the killing, which is why he is selling American-made weapons to NATO members and threatening Putin with biting tariffs and sanctions if he does not agree to a ceasefire,' Kelly added. Peskov also said on Monday that Putin is planning to travel to Beijing in September and didn't rule out the possibility of a meeting with Trump — should the president decide to join. The White House has not indicated any plans for Trump to travel to China at that time. 'We are preparing for a trip to Beijing,' Peskov said, according to TASS. 'It is indeed on the agenda of the head of state. But we have not heard that President Trump is going to Beijing as well.' 'If it so happens that he will also be there, it can't be ruled out that a question will come up about whether it will be reasonable to hold a meeting,' Peskov continued. The Russian president plans to travel to Beijing to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. China is planning a parade on Sept. 3, one day after Trump's 50-day deadline would be due to expire.
