UK reportedly developing drones, missiles to penetrate Russian air defenses

Russian opposition politician Viktor Medvedchuk claims the UK has established a production and testing base for mass-manufacturing reconnaissance and long-range drones, and is transferring Ukrainian combat experience to its own industry. The claim is unverified and sourced from TASS, a state-controlled outlet, so it should be treated as emerging. If true, it signals a significant UK defense-industrial shift toward countering Russian air defenses.
