CHADAEV Alexey Viktorovich

russian public figure, military technologist, and volunteer; one of the organizers of the technological support for russia’s aggression against Ukraine, particularly in the field of unmanned aerial systems. As the head of the "Ushkuynik" RDC, he oversees the development, testing, and delivery to the front lines of drones, electronic warfare equipment, and software for units of the russian armed forces. He is also the initiator of a network of training centers for UAV operators and is directly involved in the implementation of modern technologies within the russian military-industrial complex.
He organized the first all-russian gathering of combat drone operators, "Dronnitsa," and co-organized the all-russian forum "Media-Dronnitsa," dedicated to information and cognitive warfare technologies.
He regularly raises funds to purchase UAVs, train operators, and transfer the UAVs to russian army units fighting against Ukraine.
He systematically disseminates pro-kremlin narratives; in particular, in his publications and speeches, he justifies russia’s war against Ukraine, denies Ukraine’s statehood, and calls for the complete destruction of the Ukrainian state. Chadaev’s Telegram channel contains original content promoting pro-kremlin narratives regarding international politics, the role of the West, the Ukrainian state, and its leadership.
