College students in Tatarstan participated in the assembly of Iranian Shahed drones

Hundreds of Russian students from Alabuga Polytechnic College were forced to assemble Iranian Shahed drones. Some of them are minors. This is reported by the publication “Protocol” and the YouTube channel “RZVRT”.

For the assembly of drones, students are paid from 30-40 thousand rubles. This official salary, the training program at Alabuga Polytechnic College assumes that students will be able to work from the first year. However, they are not paid overtime and weekend work.
