SBU says cyber specialists blocked supply of components for a batch of Russian Shaheds and cruise missiles

Cyber specialists of the Security Service of Ukraine have already achieved results in blocking the supply of components for Russian weapons, including parts for the production of "Shahed" and microcircuits for cruise missiles. Ilya Vitiuk, head of the SBU Cyber Security Department, said this during a telethon, UNN reports.

"We are blocking the supply chains of components for Russian weapons. One example is that we have already blocked the supply of servo motors for the production of 1600 Shaheds and 4000 microcircuits for cruise missiles," said Vitiuk.

He also said that cyber specialists are working on the front line to destroy enemy electronic warfare and electronic warfare systems, as well as to intercept enemy drones that coordinate missile and artillery strikes against the Defense Forces.

According to Vitiuk, the intelligence information received by the DCIB helps prevent human casualties. So does repelling cyberattacks.

"Cyber warfare is not something abstract and virtual. Each repelled attack is a prevented attempt to harm our state and people. Just imagine: Russian special services hacked into the messengers of one military man and thus found out the exact place and time of the planned training, which resulted in the arrival and dozens of dead," he explained.

Thus, over 2 years of full-scale warfare, the SBU repelled almost 10 thousand cyberattacks, most of which were at the initial stage. These cyberattacks had different purposes: intelligence, destructive, psychological influence or combined.

Vitiuk predicts that Russian special services will increase their cyber offensive capabilities. But he also reminds us that the SBU also conducts its own special operations in cyberspace and "cotton" the enemy by destroying various military facilities.

Oleksandr Ruvin, Director of Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Expertise, said earlier that in order to hide the markings on certain components of drones and make it difficult for specialists to identify the country of origin, Russians use mechanical or laser erasure. This indicates that these components are of critical importance to the enemy .

"Mechanical and laser obliteration of markings on microelectronics are two different methods of hiding information about the manufacturer of the elements and other characteristics of microelements. The choice of method may depend on a number of factors. When using mechanical erasure, part or all of the marking is physically removed from the surface of the elements. Laser abrasion is more complicated, but it also removes the markings. Such actions of the enemy are aimed at complicating the identification work to disclose important information data, determine specific technical characteristics and establish the origin of the equipment, as well as study the functionality of the systems. Targeted work on concealing a certain group of elements indicates that they are critical to the enemy, have strategic importance and cannot be replaced by other resources," noted Ruvin.
