Adviser to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine: Repeaters in Belarus are still used for attacks on Ukraine
Adviser to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Serhiy Beskrestnov ("Flash") expressed the opinion that the territory of Belarus may still be used to host repeaters that help control attack drones during attacks on Ukraine.
According to Beskrestnov, one of the guided reactive "Shaheds" attacked a gas station in the city of Malyn, Zhytomyr region, at 7:11 AM on July 15.
According to Ukrainian radar systems, the drone moved along the border with Belarus, then changed its route and headed towards the strike location. Such a trajectory, it is claimed, may indicate manual control of the drone via a video camera.
It is noted that the distance from the attack site to Russian territory is about 260 kilometers, which complicates direct drone control via a radio channel. At the same time, no other drones that could be used as repeaters were detected in the air at that moment.
"Flash" emphasizes that specialized services should draw final conclusions after a full analysis of the situation.
He also states that it is important for Russia to be able to strike the western regions of Ukraine using remotely controlled drones, and for this purpose, relay systems may be used. It is not excluded that such devices may be placed without the knowledge of Belarusian authorities, as their installation can take little time.
