Because, Um... holy fucking shit do the Polish hate the Russians. Between spending time in and out of the Tzars' backyard and the Katyn Massacre and Soviet Satellite state status, they have developed a giant, throbbing kill-boner bigger than that of the Ukrainians. They recently suggested sending in their own peace keepers and the part of me that enjoys watching all of this is whispering in my ear.

C'mon, Poland. Just a taste...

Poland hates Russians so much, that when their President's plane crashed due to shitty weather and everyone on board was killed, they really thought the Russians were behind it.
 
Russian OPSec has been solid. Most of everything that comes out of their side is MOD propaganda videos. With Ukraine there seems to be a lot more content made by people on the ground which gets signal boosted by the entire Western press but it's successfully curated since you'd be hard pressed to find much footage of casualties or destroyed equipment despite it obviously existing given the way the front has moved.

one of the earliest videos i saw was the aftermath of a fight between uke TDF and russian mechanized infantry. a lot of dudes cut in half or missing faces entirely. that kind of stuff gets sanitized off youtube quickly
 
I thought it was because those retards stuck close to the front because they thought it was WWI but that'd explain a lot.
Apparently, can't really confirm this because it sounds really fucking stupid but this whole invasion has been stupid, what encrypted communications the Russians do have only functions with a 3G or 4G signal, so when they blew cell towers up they also blew up their ability to encrypt their comms.

Yeah, there was a massive scandal in Russia a few years back. The official that was tasked with modernizing their comms equipment just contracted BaoFeng to make 95% complete radios and then he finished the other 5% with Russian parts and called them domestically manufactured while pocketing the rest of the money. He was relieved and jailed but by then? The radios were already in the inventory and the money was gone. They relied on local 3G and 4G networks for encryption.

Ukrainian 3G and 4G networks. So they're either transmitting on Uke infrastructure or they're in areas where they took down the comms infrastructure leading to the Russians needing to broadcast on unencrypted comms. One battle turned into an IRL call of duty lobby complete with threats and shit talk, but it was guys in real fucking tanks and IFVs.
 
Except for the fact they're using unencrypted communications, which has apparently been how one or two of the Russians generals were located and killed.
Correct. It has been abysmal. From what I understand it either used the Ukrainian telecom networks or unencrypted walkie-talkies. Motherfuckers might as well have been using carrier pigeons.

Which is why it all got shut down. Word finally got through to the brass that someone was reading their e-mails. It got changed up and now there is good evidence that they have gone back to doing things old school with paper maps and snail mail.

This new system isn't perfect though. Reportedly the commander of 8th Army got merked at Kherson airport pretty recently. Kherson isn't in 8ths zone. It's the 49ths OA. My guess he was at some strategic meeting that got ferreted out.

Stop spreading fake news until you got proofs it's real news.
The Russian military relies on mobile technology for offensive operations? This would imply they're only supposed to operate domestically where that's reliable and I guarantee you it isn't even reliable in much of Russia where they train.

I've heard this since like day 4 but no one has shown a source and it's just really stupid. It's like saying Russian tanks are using signal flags to coordinate which would honestly be more believable.

Same goes for the supposed consumer-grade walkie-talkies.

I can believe some emails may be effectively out in the open due to Five Eyes presumably giving Ukraine free intel and it wouldn't be a shock to hear the NSA is on a domain server or something. That said, proofs required still.
I feel I have to add that I know the domain server is not the email server. I felt it had to be said unfortunately to avoid a potential nerd tangent

They're just a typical Jew-run group of "Nazis." Like I've said, these types of people do not model themselves off of the NSDAP, they model themselves off of what the Jews said the NSDAP was.
To be fair the average person is a moron. A significant portion of the populace doesn’t even know anything about the national socialists because they’re retarded and don’t dig any deeper than their middle school books. This applies to basically everything that’s not communism, which they have a better but still loose grasp on. They don’t know what capitalism is or even that there’s a difference between republics and democracies. The average person is an idiot.

There are recordings of their comms and campaigns to frequency jam and a bunch of other chicanery surrounding them. It was a thing for the first week or so. The turbo nerd Ham radio operators have been all over this shit.
 
Sharing some videos and pictures from Telegram as of late.

Not understanding your enemies language will hurt counter espionage efforts for a long time or folks in general trying to reach out to them.

Russians trying to ban English because Uncle Sam has a giant hate boner for them would be like some retarded equivalent.

Though why do corporations keep on listening to Twitter over their own shareholders or customers is still an enigma that needs to be cracked as Spotify survived with attempts to remove Joe Rogan.

That actually seems credible. Even Russian OSINT sources are confirming it. I don't blame you for being skeptical, however. That seems like something so ass-backwards that no one credible would believe it but everything about this war is ass-backwards.

Why do people keep bringing this up? The reporter who originally reported it didn't even read the articles he cited to prove the "encrypted cell phones" existed; his own sources disagree with the name of the thing and talk about an intranet and an Android fork.
Here's some analysis I wrote about this earlier in the thread: https://kiwifarms.net/threads/russian-invasion-of-ukraine-2022-thread-2.114104/post-11375241
My conclusion is that the reporter has zero clue what he is talking about, and Occam's Razor suggests that the Russians are using encrypted radios and satellite communications.

That article cites a Twitter photo of a muddy radio as proof. Forgive me for not taking it at face value.

Edit:
Keep in mind, the person working at the last fast food restaurant you went to has a say in whether or not you engage in a nuclear war or not.

I found this out later on, but this pajeet ran a cult that almost took down Oregon.


Looking at the current state of Oregon, I am impressed with this dude given his ideals and it makes sense lol.

Because anyone can sign up to Twitter then post anything, and millions of people already did, there is the logical conclusion tha Twitter users really do match the general population.
Of course, many more Twitters are posting of studying Rossiyan through Duolingo than protesting Rossiyan in Duolingo.

After all, ever since Candace Owens aid 'Russian Lives Matter', that became a hashtag:

(...how long until the 'BIPOC' think that #RussianLivesMatter is just #WhiteLivesMatter is just #BlackLivesDontMatter all over again?)
