hugopal LT42 not sure if you have any additional information, but someone here is claiming that the failure of the Era cryptophone system is because it needs 3G/4G to operate, but the Russians have gone and destroyed a lot of the 3G towers in Ukraine meaning they can’t get signal:
LT42 hugopal sounds about right. A lot of their commanders have been smoked so it sounds like they’re in disarray.
Old-Dutch Russia looking like an absolute fucking shambles here. Putin should do himself in out of sheer embarrassment
Hursty Sounds like they should have used SatCom, that is always the reliable backup to mobile networks as they can easily be taken down.
LT42 This sounds like a joke but here goes - A small platoon of Russian soldiers wanted to get on a rooftop overlooking a square so they all got in the service lift of the building. On its way to the top the caretaker turned off the power, halting their ascent. He then took photos on CCTV and sent them to local militia for liquidation. They had zero backup going into the building. It’s like they’re trying to lose on purpose.
LT42 nicksneddon Apparently so. Never use a lift during an earthquake or during a street battle ffs. Maybe the Russians were conscripts with zero training coupled with zero common sense.
LT42 I hear the guy Alistair voted for, Boris Johnson, has denied visas to Ukrainian WOMEN AND CHILDREN for a 3rd time, trapping them in the conflict. Ipso facto, Alistair has blood on his hands. Funny how things work out.
LT42 Smallman1 I went down a thread rabbit hole in Ukrainian (I assume) and it stated local militia went to “meet them”. Doubt they were arrested tbf.
hugopal Along_the_Wire this is an actual photo I took in Berlin 6 years ago: they’re a Swiss company founded in 1874: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schindler_Group
