"Great Damage": What buildings attacked drones in Moscow and how they were chosen - investigation

According to one version of the steep, the razors of the drones were intended to show the inability of Russian air defense systems and HPs. After all, one of the drones fell 300 meters from the Defense Ministry.

"From a reputational point of view, it is, of course, a lot of damage, as it is literally 15 minutes from the Kremlin, 300 meters from the Ministry of Defense building and the same famous" shell "on the roof of the Ministry of Defense, which is installed almost above the Shoig's office," the investigator says. He believes that the "shell" in any case had to work.

And his "miss" on July 24 did not depend on the height and trajectory of the UAV flight, as it was later voiced in the profile Russian ministry. The fact is that the "shell" is not much higher than the surrounding houses. Therefore, when the unmanned lethal apparatus decreased, approaching his goal, this remedy should suppress him. However, this did not happen, which can indicate technical problems in the "shell" itself.

Krutov does not discharge from the accounts and another version, according to which unmanned aerial vehicles could aim at attacking the headquarters of the Ministry of Defense of Russia. It is located literally 300 meters from the location of one of the drones. Initially, the drone raised the roof of the Komsomolsky Avenue, the house 18, owned by the Khamovnitsky barracks, erected at the beginning of the XIX century. All this belongs to the Ministry of Defense.

In particular, there is the main military orchestra of the Ministry of Defense. The investigative journalist also recalled that it was there that the so-called in/h 26165 is located in the house, but in fact, not the military but the international hacker group, known as Fancy Bears and APT28, are stationed there. It is overdrawn by the Main Intelligence Management and involved in the hacking of the US Democratic Party.

In addition, the cybercriminals tried to break the mailboxes of the Bundestag deputies of the I group of investigators who worked in the case of the Boeing catastrophe of Malaysian airlines in Donetsk region. Having analyzed all these facts, Krutov concluded that the drones could attack exactly this hacking group, controlled game. He named another reason that could define the targets for the rank of drones in Moscow.

In his opinion, drones could attack the premises in which the "office" of hackers on the APT28 group, which attacked Ukraine on the eve of a full -scale invasion of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Therefore, unmanned aircraft (in the case, if they were controlled by the Ukrainian side), they could hit the hackers. In this case, the fall of the drone on these buildings was not a random coincidence.

However, as the investigator himself notes, he is not sure about one hundred percent of this version. We will remind, earlier foreign media wrote that Moscow attacked drones-analogs of Iranian Shahd. The maximum that the Russian remedies were able to suppress the drones and prevent them from hitting the target, Ilya Abishhev believes. As a result, the Russian generals spanned from the blow of drones in Moscow.
