The day before, multiple Ukrainian outlets reported that he went missing on the front lines of the conflict.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, Filatov published a video that showed him riding a motorcycle while being pursued by a Ukrainian suicide drone. When warned of an incoming UAV, he turns the motorbike aside and ducks as it whirrs past and explodes just a few meters ahead of him.<\/p>\n<p>According to the journalist, he was checking a radio interference blind spot along a Russian logistics route, which was created when an electronic jammer post along it was moved. This made the area vulnerable to Ukrainian radio-controlled drones.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Russian war correspondent and drone specialist Andrey Filatov survives an extremely close call in the Pokrovsk direction <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/eaWfuTD4AI\">pic.twitter.com\/eaWfuTD4AI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Russians With Attitude (@RWApodcast) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RWApodcast\/status\/1949037896733733216?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 26, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201c[Ukrainian forces] began to see further, and the road ended up in radio shadow,\u201d <\/em>he wrote in a Telegram post on Saturday.
