Yuri Trutnev passed equipment and gear to the frontline fighters of the SMO

Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation and Presidential Plenipotentiary Envoy to the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev met in the Donetsk People's Republic with the command of the Eastern Military District, fighters from the “Rubicon” BARS volunteer formations, and Far Eastern volunteers, and handed over equipment and gear to the fighters on the front lines.

Equipment and gear from the “Patriotic” ASEZ (“Patrioticheskaya”) were delivered to the front lines, including over 1,500 FPV drones manufactured in the Sakha Republic (Yakutia), the Trans-Baikal, Primorsky and Magadan Regions. Aerial repeaters and heavy-duty “Spider-30” multirotor cargo UAVs were also handed over. Yakut manufacturers also delivered robotic systems, electric enduro vehicles, and all-terrain vehicles to the front lines. The soldiers also received machines for winding fiber optic coils for FPV drones, electronic warfare equipment, ammunition for sniper rifles and shotguns, and thermal imaging sights.

The “Patriotic” ASEZ is a set of state support measures for the production and supply of products for the needs of the Special Military Operation (SMO), implemented since 2023. Special state support measures for manufacturers have been developed. This mechanism is aimed at supporting companies in the Far East that produce goods for the needs of the special military operation. Residents of the “Patriotic” ASEZ have already supplied 65,000 units of products to the SMO zone. In total, over 607,000 products have been supplied to the SMO zone by regions of the Far East from 2023 to 2025.
