The Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine has published information on Russian scientists and developers involved in military research and development. This is reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing an official statement from the GUR of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence. According to the agency, in Russia, higher education institutions and research institutes directly cooperate with the Russian Ministry of Defence and military-industrial complex enterprises, carrying out work under state programs for the creation of the latest weapons systems and related technologies. ### Who Is Named in the Revealed Data Among the individuals cooperating with the Russian military-industrial complex and participating in the development of military and dual-use technologies, the GUR claims, is a wide range of specialists from relevant institutes and universities. The agency emphasizes that a significant portion of these scientists, despite their ties to defense programs, continue active international scientific cooperation: they conduct joint research with colleagues from other countries, are co-authors of publications in leading global scientific journals, and participate in international conferences and events.### Science as a Channel for Building Strategic Advantage As noted by Ukrainian intelligence, the experience gained through such international cooperation is subsequently transferred to Russian scientific institutions. There, according to the GUR, it is used not only for the creation and modernization of weapons but also for building Russia's strategic advantage in the modern arms race. Thus, public scientific ties, in the agency's assessment, become one of the channels for replenishing the Russian Federation's defense potential. ### Military Context: Strikes on Russian Aviation and Air-Defense Systems The disclosure of data on the scientific support of the military-industrial complex comes against the backdrop of ongoing strikes on Russia's military infrastructure. Recently, Ukrainian forces destroyed a Russian MiG-29 fighter jet on an airfield in Kursk Oblast, as well as a Pantsir-S1 air-defense missile-artillery system. In addition, a Su-24M bomber was destroyed at the Saki military airfield in temporarily occupied Crimea by special forces of the National Guard's Omega Special Purpose Center. The totality of these facts, according to the Ukrainian side's logic, demonstrates that the scientific and technological segment of the Russian defense industry is becoming a target of close intelligence scrutiny, and the revealed data on specific developers may be used to assess the vulnerabilities and priorities of the Russian military-industrial complex. ## πŸ” Fact-Check Verification - [Space and AI: GUR Exposes Russian Scientists Developing Technologies for War](https://www.rbc.ua/ukr/news/kosmos-ta-shi-gur-vikrili-rosiyskih-vchenih-1788336670.html) - ЕдинствСнный прСдоставлСнный источник.
