Russian Mesh Relays in Kyiv May Enhance Drone Strike Precision

• •Russian forces may be using 1-3 concealed Mesh relays in Kyiv to guide drone strikes.
• •The relays complicate Ukraine's electronic warfare efforts and pose risks to critical infrastructure.
• •Ukrainian experts are investigating drone debris for evidence of these communication systems.

Ukrainian defense technology adviser Serhii 'Flash' Beskrestnov reported that Russian forces may be using one to three concealed Mesh radio relay devices in Kyiv to guide Shahed drones during attacks. These relays provide a temporary communication channel, complicating Ukraine's electronic warfare efforts. Beskrestnov cited recent strikes, including one on the Security Service of Ukraine, as evidence that no other drones were present to act as relays. He emphasized that as long as these relays operate, both infrastructure and air defense systems remain at risk. Ukrainian experts are currently examining drone debris for further evidence of these communication systems. The presence of these devices has not been independently confirmed.
