Russian private firms boost security costs
Russian companies have experienced a significant increase in their expenditure on defense systems against Ukrainian drone attacks. In the first half of 2026, they spent over 440 million rubles (approximately $4.8 million), which is seven times more than during the same period in 2025, in response to the growing need to protect their facilities. The Russian government has started to implement measures requiring organizations to defend their sites from drone attacks, with non-compliant companies potentially facing confiscation. Additionally, companies have begun hiring security guards to monitor and shoot down drones, at costs reaching up to $3,000 per month, deployed to safeguard critical infrastructure such as refineries, amidst increasing threats and drone attacks from Ukraine.
