British mercenaries in Ukraine could become victims of their own gadgets

13

New details of the sensational missile attack on the Yavoriv test site continue to emerge. As a result of the Kalibr missile strike, according to various sources, from 35 to 180 people died, including foreign mercenaries who came to fight on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Journalists from the British newspaper The Telegraph suggest that the missiles could have been guided by British mobile phone signals. The publication claims that between 12 and 14 numbers with the prefix +44 (owned by the UK) were registered on the network before the strike. It was from the signals of these devices that Russian intelligence determined the location of foreign mercenaries.



An unnamed source of the newspaper claims that as soon as Moscow learned about the presence of the British on the territory of the base, an immediate decision was made to attack. In the same article, the journalist asks whether it was an accident that one of the mercenaries escaped 30 minutes before the strike from the base, or that person worked for Russian intelligence.

The Yavoriv training ground was one of the training grounds where the Armed Forces of Ukraine and NATO held joint exercises, including where soldiers of the Ukrainian army were trained according to the standards of the alliance. Proximity to the Polish border and developed infrastructure made it possible to organize a temporary camp for the collection and combat coordination of mercenaries arriving on the territory of Ukraine.

Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Defense Ministry, Major General Konashenkov, repeatedly stressed that foreign citizens arriving in Ukraine to participate in hostilities on the side of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are subject to destruction. This is exactly what was demonstrated during the attack on the base on March 13th.

    And what, is it really hard now, having been at the base or very close, to fix the coordinates with the navigator, transfer them to the right place, and tell them with one SMS that it’s TIME, THEY ARE HERE. Is it so expensive to have a crew on combat duty?

    Well, why so abruptly? maybe he ran for "souvenirs" to the local "beauties". I decided to bring syphilis, gonorrhea and gonorrhea home after a "business trip".

    Have we already lost all the Stirlitz? Even beginners can do such tasks. Green lieutenants. Take a walk with a girl, drive a car. Click the device. Well, let's say, a barrier per kilometer costs. They don't let me. So, any novice navigator will be able to correct for this kilometer, adjust the longitude-latitude. What do such specialists usually fall for? In touch. Today it is not at all necessary to keep a telegraph key and a radio station at home or in the garage. Or meet with a radio operator or a courier. You can program it by giving a pending task to a smart piece of iron, and she herself, left somewhere in a hollow, will do it at the right time. Disposable. And quietly die after that. So that it would not be possible to organize an ambush when the owner returned for her.

      "Stirlitz" who are already under 60 were allowed into the pigsty from Russia, who are already under 5 ... are you XNUMX years old or a little more? On a signal from the phone in Chechnya, Dudayev was filled up without any Stirlitz.

    You don't know anything about the operation against Dudayev. So shut up louder. A phone is needed not just a phone, but one that is tapped. Well, it's not everyone. Further. Dudaev was tied to the conversation for several hours. With a person entrusted to him, who fulfilled the request of the special services. During this time, two aircraft were raised, which found the location. Not a cell phone base, not a tower (the phone has low power and you can’t hear it, the tower is simpler, but it’s far away) but the phone itself It’s clear, trunk. It is quite different from one another. One figured out the place, the other sent the projectile. The observer was for a long time, loitered, rather far away, clarified the coordinates. followed the movements, the attacker did not have such a function. fast flight - shot. Final minutes. Preparation is almost a year.

      Overslept? Stirlitz specialist laughing

      The operation was carried out on April 21, 1996. In the evening, Dzhokhar Dudayev spoke on the phone a little longer than usual (about 10 minutes) with his friend Konstantin Borov. This time was enough for the equipment to catch the phone signal, transmit the coordinates of Dudayev's location to two Su-24 bombers, they covered the distance from the military base to the location of the Chechen leader and shot his car with super-powerful anti-radar missiles Kh-27PS.

    A story for the pioneers. Detect exactly the same phone from an unknown number of people working at the same time. By cell, or in another way? Ten minutes to take off, approach, search, aim. Into a moving object. They took off, probably, from a neighboring mountain? Or a hundred kilometers from .... Crazy. . Banatic. I know another name involved in this operation. Very unpopular with us, therefore, did not at all arouse Dudayev's suspicions.

      As far as I know, Dudayev was directed not to a cell phone, but to a satellite phone. He unfolded a portable dish and spoke for too long ...
      In general, some people like to send photos and videos to social networks with geolocation, which is set by default in smartphones, especially apple ones ...
      I went to the character's page, and Google says: he is now here, and shows the place on the map. What is easier, point and click.

    I'm just talking about this. A cell phone can be detected, but only in the area of ​​​​the tower. Moved 100 meters away, and the rocket would hit the tower, and not the phone. Its power is small, and the phone cannot be shot. Satellite - already two orders of magnitude more powerful, and, most importantly, it works directly from its antenna, and not to the tower, but to the satellite. The satellite may be at the horizon, a thousand kilometers from the phone. Second. There is no time to run to the bomber parking lot in 10 minutes. The bagpipe with the conversation should be long. And, for this, the interlocutor must be interesting and important. We need a topic that is not discussed in a minute. This is what I called preparation. It is extremely difficult to organize this, and, of course, sitting in the office of a KGB general, you cannot do it. We need people in the field.

    Reasoning on any topic is read not only by those who participate in the conversation. There are also passive readers. This is for them.
