Flash shows Mesh modems that could be used to build repeaters for Russian Shahed drones
Ukrainian presidential adviser Serhii Beskrestnov, known as Flash, showed what mesh repeaters that may allow Russian Shahed drones to maintain communications while flying over Ukraine could look like on Oct. 5.
On October 5, Ukrainian presidential adviser Serhii Beskrestnov, also known as Flash, demonstrated mesh repeaters that could potentially enable Russian Shahed drones to maintain communication while flying over Ukraine. Flash posted images of these devices on his Facebook page, illustrating a mesh modem with a power output of several watts, as well as one with a power output of several dozen watts.
These mesh modems can be utilized to create relays for Shahed drones, according to Flash. The compact size of these devices makes them extremely difficult to detect, he added. They can be hidden in private homes, cars, or even suitcases. All the enemy needs to do is connect them to the internet and a power source, and they will function, explained Flash.
On October 3, Flash had suggested that Russia might be using mesh relays in Kyiv to control Shahed drones in real time and adjust their strikes. Controlling drones through mesh networks entails creating a dynamic network of interconnected relays, with each modem serving as both a transmission point and a relay. These modems aboard drones form a chain in the air, automatically rerouting data packets if one of the links fails.
