Ukraine blocked Russia's drone SIM cards. The drones just connected to Poland and Romania instead.

Every Shahed Russia fires carries a T2 SIM card — government-ordered in bulk, supplied by Russia's state telecom Rostelecom to drone manufacturers. The cards let Russia control the drones remotely and stream live footage back to operators.

Ukraine managed to block T2 roaming. But Shaheds near the Belarusian border connect to Belarusian networks. Near Poland and Romania, they switch to local roaming — using EU member states' infrastructure to guide weapons into Ukraine.

Defense Ministry advisor Serhii Beskrestnov, who flagged the scheme, says the same SIM cards may already be steering the mysterious unidentified drones appearing across Europe. He's calling on all global telecoms to cut roaming deals with T2.
