The truck drivers who unknowingly delivered strike drones to Russian strategic airbases were monitored throughout their journeys and unaware of the true nature of their cargo, according to Russian investigative outlet Baza, citing interrogation records, on June 2.
One driver, 55-year-old Alexander Z. from Chelyabinsk, told investigators he was working for a vehicle owned by 37-year-old Artem, who had been contracted by a businessman in Murmansk to transport four modular homes from Chelyabinsk to the Kola district. After agreeing on a price, Alexander loaded the cargo and began the trip. Along the route, he received instructions by phone from an unidentified man who told him when and where to stop. His final stop was near a Rosneft gas station close to a military airfield in Murmansk region—the site from which drones were ultimately launched.
A similar account came from 61-year-old Andrey M., also driving a truck owned by Artem. He said he was instructed to deliver prefabricated homes to the Irkutsk region. But after parking near a café in Usolye-Sibirskoye, drones unexpectedly began launching from the back of his vehicle.
