The Russian army used the Shahed jet UAV as a mesh repeater and reconnaissance drone during an airstrike on the capital's Compass FM ("Incom") business center. This allowed them to adjust the strike and immediately obtain video confirmation of the building's damage.
The Russian army used the Shahed jet UAV as a mesh repeater and reconnaissance drone during an airstrike on the capital's Compass FM ("Incom") business center. This allowed them to adjust the strike and immediately obtain video confirmation of the building's damage.
This was reported by military specialist in the field of radio technologies and communications Sergey "Flash" Beskrestnov, commenting on the video of the attack published by the occupiers. According to him, the appearance of this video has given rise to many versions on the Internet - from the use of secret satellites or FPV drones to the work of Russian agents on the ground.
The specialist refuted conspiracy theories and explained the real technical scheme of the operation. The direct strike on the Incom office was carried out by a Geran-5 drone. At the same time, a Shahed jet entered Kyiv airspace, hovering at an altitude of almost 3 kilometers directly above the attack site.
The jet drone performed a dual function: it acted as a MES network node for relaying radio signals from the Geran-5, and also recorded the moment of impact on camera and transmitted it to videographers in real time. After completing the task, this drone left the city limits and struck the McDonald's warehouse complex.
"Of course, this is a complex operation of the Russian UAV, which requires precise calculations and cooperation between pilots. I am even sure that they were sitting next to each other," noted Sergey "Flash".
On September 25, it became known that journalist Maria Yivzhenko, who previously worked in the Business department of the NV publication, was killed in a Russian attack on the Compass FM business center in the capital. The Data Group data center was also attacked .
