Mikhail Shatsky assassinated in the Moscow suburb of Kotelniki on December 10th.
Shatsky was the Deputy General Designer at the Mars Design Bureau, tasked with development of cruise missiles and drones for the Kremlin.
Mikhail Shatsky was instrumental in developing many cruise missiles sold to India, China and Vietnam. Mikhail Shatsky assisted in designing and building Indian BrahMos cruise missile and Chinese CJ-10 cruise missile.
His death, reportedly carried out by an unknown assassin, has drawn attention due to his involvement in the military-industrial complex.
Nevzorov shared photos of a person resembling Shatsky lying dead in the snow. The man was reportedly killed in the Kuzminsky forest park near Kotelniki in Moscow Oblast. The Kyiv Independent could not verify all the claims.
“Anyone who is involved in the development of the Russian military-industrial complex and support of Russian aggression in Ukraine in one way or another is a legitimate target of the Defence Forces,” the source said.
Shatsky was employed by a company that creates and produces onboard guidance systems for the Russian space and military industries. It has been a part of the state corporation Rosatom’s department since December 2017.
He was also an associate professor and was working actively on upgrading the Russian Kh-59 cruise missile to the Kh-69 level, which Russian troops use to strike Ukraine.
According to Kyiv Independent, Shatsky was seen as the main proponent of incorporating AI technology into Russian drones, aircraft, and spacecraft.
Shatsky’s death was previously reported by Ukrainian-Russian anti-Kremlin journalist Alexander Nevzorov, who wrote on his Telegram channel that HUR “eliminated a particularly dangerous criminal.”
