French Drone Maker Delair’s Factory Attacked With Molotov Cocktails

Sabotage has been reported at a French Delair factory that supplies drones to Ukraine.

According to Le Parisien, citing sources within the security services, the incident is under investigation.

The newspaper reports that France’s domestic intelligence and security agency is actively investigating the attack.

In early June, the facility in Labège, near Toulouse, was targeted with Molotov cocktails.

Investigators were able to identify and track down a suspected perpetrator, who was subsequently arrested. Three days after the attack, a Belarusian citizen was detained near the factory while filming a classified prototype drone.

French security services are officially investigating the possibility that the incident was directly orchestrated or commissioned by Russia.

In 2024, Delair announced plans to supply Ukraine with 400 reconnaissance drones. The models being delivered include the DT26 and the UX11.
