Radio technology specialist and military expert Serhiy «Flash» Beskrestnov believes that Ukrainian enterprises, warehouses, and infrastructure facilities in the northern, eastern, and southern regions need to be prepared for the Russian use of Shahed-type jet UAVs with real-time control.
He reported this on his Telegram channel, publishing a map of the potential impact zone of such drones.
According to the published map, the risk zone covers the border areas, the south-eastern direction and coastal areas. The potential impact zone includes such regional centers and large cities as Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Zaporizhia, Kryvyi Rih, Mykolaiv, Kherson, Odesa and the outskirts of Poltava. The control zone extends from the border with Belarus and Russia (in particular from the Belgorod and Kursk sides), as well as from the front line and the Black Sea deep into the territory of Ukraine. At the same time, most of the central and western regions are currently outside the boundaries of these «shaheeds».

«In this zone, Shahed can attack moving and static targets. Owners of warehouses, gas stations, enterprises, etc. should be prepared for possible strikes,» Beskrestnov noted, urging businesses to build shelters for employees and to respond to alarms.
Previously, «Flash» reported on a new variant of the Shahed «B» series. These drones are equipped with cameras and an antenna system that allows the operator to control them online from the Russian Federation. This makes the devices suitable for reconnaissance and destruction of mobile equipment.
