In France, network outages are happening all over the country, where DSL is common. operators are opening the doors of telephone boxes to allow fresh air to cool the systems
Here’s something new: domestically developed Ukrainian squad radio
- LPI/LPD
- encrypted spread spectrum frequency hopping
- 0.1 watt transmission
- 200-500 meter range
- usb C!!!
- designed just to fuck with Russian EW
Now here is an interesting one... Looks like a portable Electronic warfare or repeater unit: "A serviceman of the army special forces of the Russian Armed Forces in the zone of the operation in Ukraine."
The coming battles in Gaza will be brutal. SubTerranean "SubT" or tunnel warfare is one of the most difficult and dangerous combat operations. We're going to dive into the fascinating niche equipment that has evolved for SubT.
We want to order a SAR (synthetic aperture radar image) from a literal Spy Satellite. A few years ago this only available to a few governments, and now for $500 you can queue your own photo at

Wanted to start a thread on this topic as it’s getting a bit of attention. The radio on the left is a DMR radio by moto and supports AES 256 encryption, but it’s not LPI/LPD, which is a requirement for modern military radios. This means that it can be DF’d

A - Moto DMR UHF radio sold as XPR in US. Used by both Ukraine and Russia. AES 256 encrypted (NSA OK) but NOT LPI/LPD
B - FRS HF FM Kenwood walkie talkie (unencrypted)
C - Older Motorola public safety VHF radio (Likely unencrypted)

An anonymous fighter in Ukraine told us that getting access to high res satellite images as a foot soldier is a major pain in the ass today.
A lot of really good (even free) satellite images exist, just aggregating, distributing, and viewing those images is a terrible UX today.

Props to

for the product update. Hardware is a bitch, especially if you are trying to build in the US. The mission behind SDR-STK is important. We cant wait to get our hands on one

RF OSINT pages on Instagram are shitting hard on the Baofeng. Are they good Radios? Not really. Have baofengs been used to quite literally invade multiple countries, yes. You can even argue that Afghanistan overthrew the American government using *slightly* better iComs

If we were Hypothetically to go up against a bunch of Russian BTG Electronic Warfare units:
1. Ensure all comms are encrypted (DMR + 256 Bit encryption or greater)
2. Understand direction-finding (DFing) and know that any RF transmission puts you on a map

We tend to agree. While the AZART operates in a similar fashion, corruption and incompetence lead to some very good Russian technology never making it into the field
