The photos were published on Telegram. It is not known exactly where they were taken. They show a mysterious structure—16 spheres arranged in a row.

Speculation quickly arose. Some claim it might be a new element of Russian electronic warfare. Others suggest it could be an agricultural installation, reports the military-focused portal twz.com.

Near the spheres, something that could be camouflage netting or a tarpaulin can be seen, as well as a cleared area nearby. A truck is visible nearby.

Shocking photo of a Ukrainian soldier

The man who shared the photo is Ukrainian soldier Serhii Beskrestnov. This soldier is an expert in "radio technology" and other military electronics. He publishes the latest developments on this topic, in the context of the war in Ukraine, on Telegram. This time, he admitted that he is surprised by what he saw.

"It seemed like I knew everything concerning the enemy's technology. But these spheres astonished me," he wrote online.

It is often suggested on social media that these could be inflatable spherical antennas or antenna covers, possibly for communication purposes, similar to those produced by GATR Technologies in the United States.
