Serhiy "Flash" Beskrestnov, a radio technology specialist and adviser to the Minister of Defense, has shared technical details regarding the destruction of the enemy attack drone control system that operated from Belarus.
As reported by "Hvylya", he wrote about this on social media, commenting on official statements concerning the elimination of the guidance network.
According to the expert, Russian "Shaheds" utilize a so-called Mesh network. Essentially, these are radio modems that turn each drone into a repeater and signal amplifier for others. This scheme creates a resilient chain: even if several drones are shot down, the connection is not broken but simply reroutes through neighboring units.
However, for this system to function, initial entry points are required where the control channel connects to Russian operators via the internet. Such nodes were discovered on Belarusian territory.
"Naturally, it is advantageous to place such points on high masts (70-90 meters) somewhere near our border and use powerful antennas directed at Ukraine. Such high communication points on enemy territory emit radio signals that our radio reconnaissance sees from our territory," "Flash" explained.
Ukrainian intelligence recorded several such objects in Belarus. They serviced attacks on various regions of Ukraine:
"For example, one point's signal reached as far as Kyiv, and reconnaissance UAVs flying over Kyiv used it to transmit data. Another point facilitated Shahed attacks on western Ukraine. Specifically, on the Kyiv-Kovel railway," the specialist noted.
Beskrestnov emphasized that Ukraine did not "watch silently." Earlier, Minister of Defense Mykhailo Fedorov confirmed that Ukrainian forces had managed to eliminate the Mesh network in the north, significantly strengthening the defense of the capital and central regions.
It should be recalled that President Volodymyr Zelensky also reported on the use of Belarusian infrastructure for guiding Russian drones at the end of last year.
