Russia Using Belarusian LTE Networks, Relay Stations for Mass Drone Attacks on Ukraine, Kyiv Says
Ukrainian officials say the relays let Russian drones stay connected over 260 kilometers and hit western regions despite electronic warfare.
- On Monday, Sept. 14, two Ukrainian officials revealed Russia is utilizing Belarusian LTE networks and ground-based signal repeaters to stabilize control of Russian Shahed-type drones during mass attacks on Ukraine.
- Military technology expert Serhii "Flash" Beskrestnov previously reported that signal repeaters enable precision strikes over long distances, citing a jet-powered drone that struck a gas station in Malyn, Zhytomyr Oblast, approximately 260 kilometers from the Russian border.
- State Border Guard Service Spokesperson Andrii Demchenko said these repeaters supported recent airstrikes targeting Rivne, Volyn, and Lviv, stating, "The air assets launched by Russia were fed with a signal through repeaters that were also located precisely on the territory of this country."
- President Volodymyr Zelensky previously issued an ultimatum to Alexander Lukashenko demanding the equipment be dismantled, as the presence of relay stations remains a source of diplomatic tension between Kyiv and Minsk.
- Although Ukrainian border guards have not recorded an increase in strike groups near the frontier, Demchenko stressed that "the threat from Belarus remains" as Russia continues to exploit regional infrastructure for cross-border operations.
