In 2022, Moscow paid an average of $ 200,000 for one such drone purchased in Iran.
In 2025, the cost decreased to about $ 70,000 due to mass production at a plant in Alabuz (Tatarstan).
The study of the Center for Strategic and International Research (CSIS) gives even lower grades: the cost of Shahd-136 can range from $ 20 to $ 50,000. For comparison, the launch of one anti-aircraft missile-interceptor costs more than $ 3 million.
It is the low cost of the Kremlin that allows you to significantly intensify strokes in Ukrainian cities and infrastructure. Previously, massive rocket-porch attacks occur approximately once a month, now they are repeated on average every eight days, CSIS experts say.
Ukraine is forced to spend more expensive weapons on drone interception and at the same time develops its own FPV devices and interceptors to counteract massive attacks.
