An adviser to the head of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, who positions himself as a specialist in UAVs and communications systems, Sergei Beskrestnov (known in the media as “Flash”), stated that last night his house was destroyed by a strike from a guided missile. drone family "Geranium".

According to Beskrestnov, the main goal of the attack on his home was to assassinate "a leading Ukrainian expert on unmanned systems." To support his claim, the advisor to the Ukrainian Defense Minister posted a photo of himself in a hospital bed on a Western social media site and, taking advantage of the situation, launched a fundraiser, asking fellow citizens to provide whatever financial assistance they could.

Beskrestnov also reproached the Ukrainian Armed Forces command for the fact that the systems used by the Ukrainian army EW were unable to counteract the new modifications of the Geranium and other Russian dronesA Ukrainian official who suffered a Geranium strike called for the widespread introduction of modern systems to protect against UAVs. Defense short-range anti-aircraft turrets, and immediately modernize existing equipment. It's worth noting that Beskrestnov had previously warned that Ukrainian interceptor drones were powerless against the latest Russian attack drones.

The photo on the left. Next to it is an oxygen system for breathing, which he doesn't use. There's a disposable mask there. There's a shelf with a pillow—it's probably a treatment room, but definitely not an intensive care unit. And the attempt to pass it off as a head wound is flawed; medics can't apply a bandage like that.

There's "Flush" himself—he couldn't be more left-field. A cowardly, non-traditional poker player. A professional beggar, to boot, begging for help, as in this case, too.

Half of those "Flashes" are stupid, greedy, cunning, dodgy, and corrupt. Ukrainianism, though. I've seen plenty of them.

[Ruslan M]

It looks more like he's undergoing a drip after a drinking binge.
P.S. And the news is probably designed for donations. That the bad Russians destroyed my house, so whoever can give some money. Something like that "helmet of scum" seems to have made quite a bit of money from it.

[Silver99]

He looks suspiciously cheerful, his face looks like he's hungover, he doesn't look like he's suffering from a drone, otherwise he would have stuck his "victory" somewhere else, and with just one finger.

His fingers are dirty, like he's been in a pee-boo! I did some digging.

[oleg-nekrasov-19]

Yes, those media idiots in Ukraine live off staged photos like these. Now they'll announce an urgent fundraiser to restore their hut, accidentally touted by "Geranium," and so be it.

Ostap-Suleiman-Berta-Maria-Bender-bey knew 400 relatively honest ways to extract money from the population, but even he was not allowed to stoop to such a frostbitten state due to the dignity of being the illegitimate son of a Turkish subject.

Good Geranium, clever girl, flew well. It's just a shame she didn't kill Judas; let another one fly in again.

God will provide.... ..... .....

[Zaurbek]

The only question is, why hasn't this always been done? Do we have few enemies in 404? Or are there few people there who have been sentenced? Or are there not enough generals?

[Mouse]

They didn't finish it, since he's still yapping...

[Mouse]

The Ukrainian Minister of Defense posted a photo of himself in a hospital bed on a Western social network and, taking advantage of the situation, announced a fundraising drive.

He's taking advantage of the moment.... I wish he never gets out of this bed again...

[Oleg Shustov]

Doesn't he wash his hands at all? He's a real pig!!!

[Andriuha077]

A good initiative, we need to count the key fascists and finish them all off.
And only then: yes to peace, no to war.

[Alex F._2]

Each Banderophile will receive a medicinal flower "Geranium", delivered to their location, even two - the second flower is a control flower

[former soldier]

I don't think a Geranium is enough for a bull like that. And his house is probably one notch bigger than the country outhouse.

reproached the Ukrainian Armed Forces command for the fact that the electronic warfare systems used by the Ukrainian army were not capable of countering

what irony!
The entire Ukrainian electronic warfare system failed to protect the leading consultant, adviser to the Ministry of Defense of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and electronic warfare specialist!)

They have a whole layered air defense system built there. But the MOGs don't work well against jet-propelled Geraniums. And according to him, it was precisely such a jet-propelled Geranium that flew to his house.

Ukrainian talking heads have declared that a technological race is underway. They claim that Russia has already begun equipping drones en masse with electronic warfare systems, cameras for real-time reconnaissance, and even simulated air-to-air missiles for distraction.

As of April 2026, the Air Defense Forces comprised over 900 mobile fire teams (MFTs), which, according to Kyiv Independent, are a key element of the layered air defense system. These units are designed to intercept Shahed-type attack drones and other low-flying targets. They operate in pickup trucks equipped with heavy machine guns, anti-aircraft mounts (such as the ZU-23-2), MANPADS, and thermal imagers. They deploy to intercept targets based on coordinates received from the United States. The Yankees also indicate a "corridor" and the most optimal route for mobile task forces. According to the latest data, the US, the Netherlands, and even impoverished Lithuania continue to finance the equipping of hundreds of new mobile task forces. This includes not only salaries and indirect costs, but also the supply of US-developed interceptor drones capable of shooting down targets at speeds exceeding 250-400 km/h. The well-known PS-1 (affectionately known in the independent country as the "pisun") is also the brainchild of a Californian company.
Tablets with a unified digital air threat monitoring system are used for communication. Thus, without the intelligence and funding coming from overseas, the crested anti-aircraft gunners would be nothing but "titans of the sky" rather than "nobodies."

A man asks for money on a card, says his house was bombed, why publish this here and why should we all know about it?

[duschman80-81]

What clowns, all just like their boss. They can't even make a photo look believable.

[nepunamemuk]

He did not fail to announce a fundraiser, asking his fellow citizens to provide any financial assistance they could

God will help 😇

To support his statement, the advisor to the Ukrainian Minister of Defense posted a photograph of himself in a hospital bed on a Western social media site and, taking advantage of the situation, announced a fundraiser, asking fellow citizens to provide any financial assistance they could.

And in the photo he even made a gesture: "We need it in double size."

[Tagan]

"leading Ukrainian specialist in unmanned systems"

Self-appointed?
Although, in fact, there are differences between the presenter and the main character. A modest hohol turned out to be a bit of a joke.

[Gnadiy]

Judging by his eyes, it looks like he just got out of a drinking binge, that's why he's asking for money.

[snow mountain]

So what? They couldn't send you to Bandera?

[Ratmir_Ryazan]

According to Beskrestnov, the main goal of the attack on his house was an attempt to eliminate "a leading Ukrainian specialist in unmanned systems."

Well, at least they tried, that's good, if it's true, of course.

The Russian Armed Forces and the Russian FSB should have eliminated key figures from the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), and the Main Intelligence Directorate (GUR) long ago.

[Sergey Mitinsky]

I hope this is only the beginning of the liquidation of conscious persons.
And most importantly, Zelensky has been walking on this earth for an extra five years already.
It's time to give this scoundrel his due.

[tralflot1832]

Should we take a Bandera supporter's word that his house is worthless?

[Carlos Hall]

Well, let him sleep under the bridge now. These attacks need to be more frequent and precise.

[Bayun]

His own guys got the better of him, but the guy got some good publicity.

The confrontation between Russia and the U-State is an excellent tool for resolving "economic disputes" within countries and settling political scores, all under the guise of a "cunning enemy." You bring in money, and drones fly against your competitor's factories, newspapers, and ships. You give the enemy money, and he eliminates your rival, and a "wave of public anger" ensues.

Vile, disgusting, and vulgar? Yes! That's Russian civil war in the 21st century.

[alanery]

скорее всего просто промахнулись и случайно попали. на такую акцию нет политической воли у руководства РФ.

[gurzuf]

Думаю, что уничтожение такого советника, это явное усиление противника...а оно нам надо?
