Russian Demand for Drone Strike Insurance Surges Amid War
Russian insurance companies are experiencing a surge in inquiries for separate property insurance against drone attacks, driven by increased media coverage of Ukrainian strikes and the classification of such attacks as terrorism, which is often excluded from standard coverage. Initially, only VSK offered specific drone strike policies, but the expanding range and frequency of attacks have prompted its competitors to follow suit. This has led to a significant increase in customer requests, potentially reaching hundreds of thousands in some regions, and a projected seven-fold increase in the drone insurance market, with experts estimating it could be worth billions of rubles. Financial experts also advise potential customers to carefully review policy details to understand the specific risks covered.
