All twelve digests and the Kyiv Post report confirmed the number of sites, their proximity to NATO borders, and the potential range to reach Warsaw. The Kyiv Post added that at least 59 launch rails have been identified across these bases.","The Kyiv Post and eight digests noted that some bases are already operational, used in recent attacks on Ukraine. The Kyiv Post specified that seven of the ten sites have been involved in strikes on Kyiv, citing open-source tracking data. It also reported that storage capacity at one base could exceed 1,000 drones, and that Russia is developing faster, longer-range variants of its Shahed-based drones.","Nine digests and the Kyiv Post highlighted the threat to NATO, with the Kyiv Post quoting European and US intelligence officials warning of potential provocations against Poland. The Kyiv Post alone detailed Russia’s experimentation with arming drones with air-to-air missiles. None of the digests mentioned the Alabuga production facility or the 90-kilogram payload capacity cited in the Kyiv Post."],"centre":["The centre-rated report from 20minutos, a digest of The Telegraph’s investigation, focused on the establishment of secret bases capable of launching drones that could reach NATO countries. It noted that the bases are equipped with newly built launch platforms for Russia’s most advanced long-range suicide drones. The digest did not include details about storage capacity or specific intelligence warnings."],"right":["The six right-rated digests led on the proximity of the new bases to NATO territory and the potential for strikes on European cities. Focus.de and Protothema highlighted the storage capacity of one base, reporting it could hold more than 1,000 drones. Protothema’s digest noted that the drones deployed by Russia have a range of up to 1,000 kilometres.","Several right-rated digests, including those from BT, EL ESPAÑOL, and tvp.info, emphasised warnings from intelligence officials about possible provocations against Poland. EL ESPAÑOL’s digest included a figure for Russian drone production, reporting that Russia manufactures 3,000 Geran-4 and Geran-5 drones per month to saturate Ukraine’s air defences.
