Meet the radio-obsessed civilian shaping Ukraine’s drone defense 

EMRE ÇAYLAK

Serhii “Flash” Beskrestnov is, at least unofficially, a spy. Once a month, he drives to the frontline in a VW van equipped with radio hardware, roof antennas, and devices that monitor drones. Over several days, he searches the skies for transmissions that can help Ukrainian troops. 

Drones define this brutal conflict, and most rely on the radio communications Flash has obsessed over since childhood. Though now a civilian, the former officer has taken it upon himself to inform his country’s defense on all matters related to radio. 

Unlike traditional spies, Flash shares his discoveries with over 127,000 followers—including soldiers and officials—on social media. His work has won fans in the military, but also sparked controversy among the top brass. Read the full story.
