Flesh becomes Fedorov's advisor on defense technology

Ukrainian specialist and consultant in the field of military radio technologies Serhiy (Flash) Beskrestnov has become a new advisor to the Minister of Defense Mikhail Fedorov. About reported the head of the Defense Ministry on social media.

Fedorov said that in today's technological warfare it is important to understand the direction of innovation, anticipate Russian plans and create products that can turn the tide on the battlefield.

"We are strengthening this area with people who have already demonstrated a real ability to perform these tasks," he added.

The defense minister emphasized that Flash is now his advisor on defense technology. He called Beskrestnov one of the strongest practical experts in the field of drones, electronic warfare, and analysis of Russian decisions.

Fedorov emphasized that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Flash has been working directly at the front and conducting training for the military in the hottest spots.

"Flash's expertise is in radio communications, electronic warfare systems and intelligence. He was the first to tell us about the use of FPV drones with machine vision and jet "Shaheds" by the Russians. Now his main focus is on systemic solutions against Russian strike and reconnaissance UAVs. We need to reduce the effectiveness of enemy attacks and protect our people," the Defense Minister wrote.

He emphasized that the development of electronic warfare is critically important – the one who adapts faster wins the war.
