The participation of Russian military personnel in reconnaissance and control of Russian-made unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the occupied territory of Ukraine in the interests of the Russian occupation forces was confirmed.<\/strong>\u00a0Russian<\/strong> soldiers who lost a Tachion drone in the Donbas were identified.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Volunteers of InformNapalm international intelligence community continue a series of publications that analyze information from the work computer of the reconnaissance commander of the so-called 2nd Army Corps of the People\u2019s Militia (2nd CPM), a unit of the hybrid Russian occupation troops in the occupied territory of Luhansk Oblast.<\/p>\n

Let us remind you that the data for this analysis was obtained as a result of a successful installation of a special software on a work computer of the reconnaissance commander by hacktivists from the Ukrainian Cyber Alliance (UCA)<\/a> (FalconsFlame, Trinity, Ruh8, and Cyber Hunta) The first part of the analysis can be found here<\/a>.\u00a0It details the use of Orlan-10 drones<\/strong>\u00a0by Russian command in the fighting in the Donbass.\u00a0The\u00a0second part<\/a> dealt with the use of the Forpost drones<\/strong>.\u00a0Based on one of the reports,\u00a0the third part<\/a>\u00a0disclosed the place where the Takhion drone (tail number 141169) of the 138th\u00a0Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade of Russian Armed forces crashed.<\/p>\n

The forth part<\/a>\u00a0was dedicated to the analysis of the memorandum on the commander of the illegal armed group called Special Operations Brigade \u201cOdessa\u201d. In the fifth part<\/a>,\u00a0we disclosed information about Russian units of the occupation troops in the Donbas using the Russian portable ground reconnaissance station PSNR-8 Kredo-M1 (1L120).<\/p>\n

In this publication we identify Russian servicemen – operators of the Tachion drone <\/strong>with the tail number\u00a0141169.<\/strong>\u00a0They lost the drone in December of 2014 in Luhansk Oblast, south-west of the village of Muratov. The coordinates of the site where the signal was lost are:\u00a048\u00b047\u201921.8\u2033N 38\u00b041\u201911.2\u2033E<\/a>. Read more\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The information about the Russian Tachion drone crew was found in a document titled\u00a0“The act of preliminary investigation of an aircraft incident of a Takhion unmanned aerial vehicle No. 141169 that occurred in military unit 77077 on December 14, 2014, at 11:30 am (Moscow time)”.<\/em>\u00a0The document was prepared\u00a0by the reconnaissance commander of the so-called 2nd Army Corps of Russian Occupation Forces and submitted for approval to Major General Ignatov.\u00a0Under the pseudonym\u00a0Sergei Ignatov (call sign “Tambov”)<\/strong>\u00a0was hiding Kuzovlev Sergey Yurievich<\/a>, the chief of staff of the 58th Army of the Russian Southern Military District, who at that time\u00a0was an acting commander of the 2nd Army Corps.<\/p>\n

    Private\u00a0Denis Alexandrovich Laptev<\/strong>, date of birth: January 29, 1993, personal number\u00a0E-90253<\/strong>\u00a0(\u00a0account<\/a> ON VK,\u00a0friends<\/a>,\u00a0photo album<\/a>\u00a0).\u00a0In Laptev\u2019s photo album, we found a group photo taken presumably in Luhansk.<\/p>\n

    1. The Takhion complex operator from the 138th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Russian Armed Forces (military unit 02511):<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Lance-corporal Artyom Ivanovich Angalyov<\/strong>\u00a0(\u00a0VK account 1<\/a>,\u00a0VK account 2<\/a>,\u00a0mentioned on web<\/a>site), date of birth: May 07, 1994, personal number SU-052822. He was identified in a group photo from Laptev’s photo album.<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      In the course of communication with Angalyov through social networks, hacktivists were able to get access to one of his mailboxes.\u00a0There they found a pay stub for December 2014, issued by the Russian Defense Ministry.\u00a0It means that Angalyov\u00a0was in the occupied territory of Luhansk Oblast while being an active duty Russian serviceman.<\/strong><\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      After the loss of the drone number\u00a0141169, the<\/strong>\u00a0Laptev-Angalyov crew began working with the drone number\u00a0141168.<\/strong>\u00a0There were incidents involving this drone too: on December 8, 2014, a 5.45 mm bullet hit<\/strong> the UAV, and on December 16, at launch, the device could not gain the required altitude and got caught on the branch, which led to the breakdown of two consoles.\u00a0Below are pictures of the damage, as well as some shots from video cameras from reports on reconnaissance flights during December 2014.<\/p>\n

      <\/p>\n

      As mentioned above, hacktivists from the UCA communicated through social networks with Angalyov and Laptev.\u00a0During the interviews, the authenticity of documents from the reconnaissance commander\u2019s computer was confirmed, as well as identification of their accounts in social media, and access to Angalyov’s mailbox was obtained.<\/p>\n
