Moscow Missile Expert Assassinated
Mikhail Shatsky, a key figure at the Mars Design Bureau responsible for modernizing Kh-59 and Kh-69 cruise missiles used in the war against Ukraine, was found dead from gunshot wounds near his Moscow home. Ukrainian media outlets, citing anonymous sources, attributed the killing to Ukraine’s GUR military intelligence agency, though this remains unverified. Shatsky’s work also reportedly included AI technology for Russian drones. The incident follows a recent large-scale Russian missile attack on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.
