According to the investigation, the drone manufacturers’ association organized the large-scale event – which included demonstrations of air defense systems and involved military personnel, government officials, and business representatives – without authorization from the military command, regional or district military administrations. Kravchenko stated that organizers invited over 300 people to an open location where the nearest shelter, measuring 34 square meters, was located approximately 100 meters away. “This means that hundreds of people were in conditions of obvious security risk from the very beginning,” the prosecutor general stated. Investigators also found that invitations were sent out nine days before the event, with the exact location and time provided 24 hours in advance. Authorities are assessing whether these actions allowed Russian forces to prepare a targeted strike.
