Zelenskyy's defence tech adviser announces protective "dome" over Kyiv that interferes with Shahed radio communications – photos

Serhii "Flash" Beskrestnov, an adviser to the Ukrainian president on defence technologies, has said a protective "dome" has been created over Kyiv that disrupts the radio communications used by Shahed drones.

Details: Beskrestnov explained that Russian drone operators use mesh radio communications to control Shahed loitering munitions remotely, so a protective dome had to be established over Kyiv to interfere with these signals.

Quote: "The task was large-scale and ambitious: a huge amount of work had to be completed across the entire city in just a few weeks.

All the major manufacturers of electronic warfare equipment were involved in the process, working around the clock to produce and install the equipment. The General Staff, the Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the National Security and Defence Council, the President's Office and other units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine worked on the operation. The president supervised the operation throughout."

Details: Beskrestnov said the operation was complex both technically and organisationally.

Quote: "We are talking about many hundreds of locations across the city for antennas and equipment. This operation has forced the enemy to pause, upgrade their Shaheds and look for other solutions."
