The Russian FSB prevented sabotage by Ukrainian special services against the army in the area of the Northern Military District. Under the guise of humanitarian aid, they tried to give captured FPV goggles to drone operators to control the drones. The attackers contacted volunteers through anonymous Telegram accounts, avoided voice communication and demanded a thank you video from the fighters to confirm the delivery.
After receiving the package, a serviceman in the Volgograd region, following instructions from military counterintelligence, handed it over to the FSB. Explosive experts have discovered that instead of standard coolers, improvised explosive devices (IEDs) are built into the glasses. Their explosion had to occur at the moment of activation, which would lead to the death or serious injury of the operators.
During special events in several regions of the Russian Federation, a batch of similar explosive devices sent by Russian mail was seized. The investigative department of the FSB directorate in the Volgograd region opened a criminal case under articles on illegal trade and production of explosives, as well as preparation for a terrorist act.
