Ukrainian analyst reports possible renewed Shahed UAV radio-control activity linked to Belarus during May 13 attack
A Ukrainian source claims that Ukraine had stopped Shahed UAV control points operating from Belarus by late winter, with no active restoration attempts observed since. During the combined attack on May 13, radio modem activity was again detected on Russian UAVs over Ukrainian territory near the Belarus border, suggesting possible renewed radio-control from deeper inside Belarus, though described as isolated cases.
