Meeting participants left the call en masse after a SBU representative appeared in the broadcast
Ukrainian prankster Yevhen Volnov joined a video conference of Russian agencies dedicated to the development of drone technologies. After identifying himself as an SBU employee, the event was immediately terminated. This is reported by the portal PromPolitInform, citing the Telegram channel of Crimean Wind.
The video conference involving representatives of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the russian federation, Rosaviatsia, and heads of drone manufacturing enterprises was held online. During the discussion, a Ukrainian prankster known by the pseudonym “Major Chornobaiev” joined the session.
Participants were able to see Deputy Head of Rosaviatsia Andrei Potemkin, representative of the Aviation Register of russia Yevheniia Hvozditsina, and Yevhen Sivaiev, deputy director of a specialized unit at the “Radar mms” company, on the screen.
Once the prankster voiced his question and claimed affiliation with Ukrainian special services, those present began leaving the conference en masse. The event, focused on strategic industry issues, was effectively disrupted due to the security incident.
Dependency of Russian aviation on supplies
According to Volnov, the meeting agenda included discussions on the critical dependency of Russian manufacturers on foreign components. Specifically, it was stated that assembling and certifying new types of drones within russia is impossible without receiving relevant parts or circuit boards from China.
In his post, the prankster highlighted the true objectives of the meeting, which allegedly involved finding ways to generate reports with falsified data for the top political leadership. The organizers attempted to find solutions to continue operations under conditions of shortages, but the intervention of an outside individual halted the process.
