Russia has begun using Ukrainian drones for its own operations – Flash

Russian military personnel are collecting Ukrainian drones that, for whatever reason, did not explode and reached them intact; they are repairing them and preparing them for future provocations. This was reported on August 2 by Sergey (Flash) Beskrestnov, a military technology expert and presidential adviser.

The expert noted that such tactics are a direct manifestation of hybrid warfare. In his opinion, the Russian Federation could use such disguised drones (in particular, models similar to those produced by Fire Point) to stage incidents in Europe in order to conceal its involvement and shift the blame onto Ukraine. 

An analysis by the publication “Military” also confirmed that the previously unidentified drones are, in fact, Ukrainian UAVs that have been modified or refurbished by the Russians.

The Russian “Rassvet” satellite constellation operated by “Bureau 1440” already provides at least two “communication windows” over Ukrainian territory every 24 hours. Each lasts more than an hour, potentially allowing Russian troops to use satellite communications to control drones and other assets.

Earlier, Planet Labs satellites captured the aftermath of drone attacks on logistics centers belonging to the Russian marketplace Wildberries in Krasnodar and Nevinnomyssk.
