In case you missed it, few weeks ago Russian Intelligence Service #SVR launched their own magazine called “Rasviedchik” (Intelligence officer). Let’s look into best gems of the first issue 1/🧵 The front page gives us a photo of Putin from December 2020 (a speech on the occasion of the 100th year of SVR) and a service slogan: “Our quest for knowledge is not for glory but to know the truth for the good of the State.” Catchy. 2/

2022 was a real blood bath for #Russian intelligence services in Europe. Arrests, expulsions and de-conspirations made Russian spy life harder. I have put together quick dashboard with known cases (last 5 years). Let's have a look what we know. 1/🧵

#Russian "robot-dog" story is getting better and better. Meet Alexey Aristov (left) and Alexandr Atamanov (right), the team behind the new Russian marvel of technology. Long 🧵 #ARMY2022 #Russia #OSINT @JimmySecUK @d0tslash @N_Waters89 @AricToler Alexey is a typical "new Russian" businessman with lavish life on Instagram (aleksei.aristov). He claim to be financial lawyer from St. Petersburg. Wife is an Instagram influencer with more than 700k followers (ananovaa). Gosh... the ban on Instagram must have been painful...

First day of Russian forum #Army2022 #Армия2022. What’s new in #UAV game? Not much so far. Two models of wannabe MQ-1 Predator - Orion-E with control station, and old Foton-601 construction developed by Ruskosmos with Samara University. A little bit more in the copter sector. Rostec showed a new Russian-Belarusian unmanned system BAS-750 with a flight time up to 6 hours.
Also concept of cargo drone S700 with 16(!) engines and lift up to 200kg was displayed.

🧵 on recently downed Russian Tachyon (Тахион) #UAV. It’s an old construction developed since 2012. Drone is mainly used for reconnaissance and fire guiding missions. Drone entered service in 2014. It is used by ground forces of Eastern and Central Military District, as well as Navy. It was previously spotted (and downed) in Donbas area (2015).

Story of thwarted UAV attack on Transnistria looks strange. From media reporting seems that target was Grigoriopol Transmitter which was already severely damaged week ago. 1/3
pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/… Drone itself is DIY cheap Aliexpress style frame. Judging from photos total weight was at least 12kg. Batteries on photos would give around 20 min flight (depends on wind). Target is approx. 4 km from the border. That’s a very close call for an operator. 2/3
