Democratising geospatial intelligence by disrupting the acquisition, analysis and distribution of spatial data for military, commercial and individual users.
Joined July 2019
We are proud to announce our new official website in preparation for the TacSight platform release and to help us in our mission to democratise geospatial intelligence. Have a look 👀 : #GEOINT #IMINT #OSINT #geospatial #Intelligence

Intelligence acquired since the beginning of the Russian military operation over Ukraine has shown an immense lack of logistic support, making this war one of the most unique in 2022 when it comes to surveillance. A thread 👇🧵

For the 1st time in a modern conflict, the regular forces of Russia are communicating without digital mode, making them fully audible by everyone. A story documented by Nicholas Laidlaw ( might explain that the cause would be bad logisitic preparation.

We will soon make as much raw recordings as possible freely available for journalists and translators, with the hope of shining lights on a historical situation where a regular army is being tracked by thousand of individuals.

An entire community created itself around those communications, currently scanning and recording anything of interest, including ShadowBreak. Creating hours of intense Russian army chatter recordings, each demonstrating an army unprepared for such situation.

Because unsecured communications, the frequencies have been constantly jammed by civilians, sometimes in the middle of fights, making the ground infantry unable to operate properly and having to withdraw.

Using publicly available web radio receiveir (webSDR), callsigns of Russian military units and roles were discovered. Reports of losses, injuries, . everything can be heard. Even them swearing at their own crew, such as in this recording.

Following the lack of security on their communications, we have been closely cooperating with radio amateurs & translators, across the globe, to document and gather intelligence.

Every conversations have displayed a disturbing lack of coordination between units, sometimes even firing at each other. But also, in addition to the simple fact that they are equipped with analogic radios, a lack of logisitical support.

Russian units on ground were then tracked, such as Buran-30, which we can hear planning an artillery attack on a civilian location. We can also hear jammers trying to interrupt Russian communications and disrupt their coordination capabilities.

A story being confirmed not only by PoW testimony but also by material captured by the Ukrainian army after clashes with the Russian army, such as in this tweet, showing a civilian Baofeng which was used by the Russian infantry.
More and more evidence is emerging that the Russian forces rely on civilian radios and mobile phones for their communications. Our source in one invading unit confirms this. This photograph is said to show a civilian radio captured by Ukrainians.

We also heard them cry during a fight near Kharkhiv, as heard in this recording. But also had fuel issues, trouble coordinating because lack of maps, . While also requesting air support or talking about Iskander strikes.

@jcvramalho Yes. We have recorded many messages - one being sent on 9741 few minutes ago - saying "Russian generals are preparing a coup. Russian soldiers, go home".

We are currently looking for more Russian speakers to volunteer within ShadowBreak Intl and help us translate the hours of recordings we have - and are still doing. If you are interested, please, get in touch with us by sending an email to : translators@shadowbreakintl.com

@itsmecalcifer1 Some of their units are still communicating on clear - but their frequencies are quickly discovered and jammed by civilians, putting automated messages of "Soldiers go home" or Ukrainian national anthem, pig noises, . .

We wish to shine a light on the OSINT community which, way before ShadowBreak Intl got into it, were already monitoring and helping. For us, it truly shows how Internet is reshaping intelligence, SIGINT included.

Since the last few days, using both optical and radar space platforms, we are monitoring an important build up of air units and long range arsenal across the southern border of Belarus, directly north of Kiev. No visual attached.

#Iran resumes uranium enrichment at #Fordow plant. 24.10.19 @sbreakintl revealed a new building at Fordow and Hi-Masts Lighting poles at tunnels entrances. Our assessment was that Iran may bolster its gas centrifuges production. Assessment now Validated.
New building construction and lighting infrastructure upgrade at tunnels entrances in Fordow Uranium Enrichment Plant may indicate that Iran is bolstering its capability in gas centrifuge production. #Iran #JCPOA #Nuclear #GEOINT #IMINT

We wish to congratulate @AirbusSpace which just released sample imagery of the new #PléiadesNeo commercial high resolution 30cm imagery and they are stunning!.
#PléiadesNeo satellite 🛰 delivers first very high resolution images 📸.The successful acquisition & delivery of these first 30cm images open a new era for commercial & government geospatial applications requiring a high level of accuracy & responsiveness.

Why Hamas didn't opt for this open field which would have minimized the risk of civilian casualties?

Despite rumours circulating, ShadowBreak has not noticed changes in the Russian nuclear deterrence stance through satellite imageries. Meanwhile, our SIGINT efforts are only noticing slight increase of Over The Horizon radar usage. No imagery attached.
