The SBU detained a scientist from Kharkiv, who helped the Russians to improve "Shahedy"
Counter-intelligence of the Security Service detained an enemy henchman who worked for the military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation in Kharkiv.
He turned out to be a 72-year-old scientist-mechanic who, on the order of the Russians, developed drawings for the improvement of Shahed-type kamikaze drones. In particular, he worked on the modernization of engines and catapult installations.
According to the investigation, the person involved remotely transferred technological developments to his acquaintance, the general director of one of the Russian machine-building plants, which produces units for drones.
Since 2023, this enterprise has been closely cooperating with the Russian company, which is engaged in the production of shock drones of the "Shakhed" type, which the Russians label under the name "Geran-2".
The man from Kharkiv used e-mail and a popular messenger to communicate with Russian accomplices. At the same time, he disguised cooperation with the occupiers under the guise of preparing scientific papers in the field of UAVs.
As the investigation established, the scientist involved in the project work his former student, who fled from Kharkiv Oblast to the Russian Federation at the beginning of the full-scale war.
There he got a job at the Moscow University of Technology, where he develops drones for the Russian Armed Forces.
Counterintelligence officers of the Security Service documented the crimes of the Kharkiv scientist and detained him at his place of residence in the regional center.
During the searches, computer equipment, a mobile phone and flash drives with evidence of subversive activities in favor of the Russian Federation were seized from him.
SBU investigators informed the detainee of the suspicion under Part 1 of Art. 111-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (assistance to the aggressor state).
The perpetrator is in custody. He faces 12 years in prison with confiscation of property.
In addition, it is planned to report the suspicion in absentia to the suspect's accomplice, a former student of Kharkiv University, who is hiding in Russia.
Comprehensive measures were carried out under the procedural guidance of the Office of the Prosecutor General. – Security Service of Ukraine

While this fossil was busy creating easier ways to attack Ukrainian civilians, thousands of men and women are fighting to protect Ukrainian cities from the threat of drones. [The Come Back Alive Foundation](https://x.com/BackAndAlive/status/1846257237985316964?t=VSdR3i_z5c5xgjemKn9ZBw&s=19) is one of the institutions that helps Ukrainian air defense and anti-Shaheed fire groups.
Not the way I want to spend my retirement, in prison doing menial labor with loss of all property attained during lifelong work.
why does the ukraine have so many traitors
12 years is not enough… he needs to know he will die in prison if not solitary for the betrayal and causal of vast destruction with heavy death toll and denying peoples their futures and life aspirations!
I utterly do NOT understand this mentality of betrayal of your country and people 😒
So, with Santa claus doing serious time for treason, is Xmas cancelled going forward?
They should ask him to test his own design.. off the top of a building?
Strap the guy to a catapult and send him back to ruzzia.
Catapult this motherfucker across the border.
I am certainly on the ukrainian side of all this, but:
maybe I misunderstand, but I struggle to see this man as anything other than the equivalent of an American engineer working a desk job for our defense contractors. They help the war effort, but surely not in a way the warrants capture.
Was he captured in Russia or in Ukraine?
It takes a special kind of traitor to perform these treasonous acts while living in a city with neighbors being killed with your help. He is the worst kind of subhuman and should be locked away forever or put against the wall.
