How Russian Spies Use Cell Phones as OPs | Tradecraft Sunday | #TS16
In this last #TradecraftSunday episode for this year, we present a relatively new spying technique. The use of cell phones to set up Observation Posts (OPs), and other similar uses (BDA, sabotage, etc.), through very recently publicly disclosed examples from the war in Ukraine. Our primary source was the Security Service (SBU) of Ukraine, and the cases presented demonstrate this tradecraft being used by Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) and military intelligence (GRU) operating in Ukraine.

    The whole thing was completely useless. I will explain: the intelligence the Russians intercepted could be bad information leaked to them on purpose via this officer at a hotel known (by the Germans) to be bugged. The Russians aren't stupid, and so they'll know this is a possibility, which means they can't rely on this info. So what this means is, both the Russians and the Germans have wasted HUGE amounts of money setting this up and getting this guy a holiday in SE Asia, and then listening in on him. Neither party has any useful information because it might not be reliable. How about using a military officer to do MILITARY THINGS for once? Get in the airbase and start commanding some planes. And cut off funding for these "trade" fantasists. Waste of money.

    A video covering the "unlawful killing" of Daniel Burke of Manchester in Ukraine would be nice. Guy was a bit long in the tooth at 36 years old, and the suspect in the killing was an "Australian national" who has fled. "Abdelfetah 'Adam' Nourine, a fighter in the Ukrainian army known as "Jihadi Adam", who was not named in the inquest but is known by Greater Manchester Police, told Ukrainian police he shot Mr Burke accidentally while the two of them were practising drills 27 miles (44 km) away from the frontline." This story looks like some coverup BS. The Australian route is a clue. Looks like it was planned as "enemy fire" or even just "friendly fire" as it was so close to the frontline (maybe even was the frontline).

    Narration doesn't seem well informed. RBZ was first envisioned as Marine Corps "raider receiver" but as you can imagine, stage - managed directions to your combat troops, equipped with receiving sets only, does not work out well in the real world. Consider it a failure for this purpose. Hundreds of stored useless RBZ were modified to tune 5 to 13 MHz and supplied to Resistance in German occupied Europe for listening to voice broadcast news and messages - no telegraph reception ( CW ) possible. I have Emerson literature and manuals for both RBZ models.

      Thank you. There's more to it but here we tried to keep it short and concise, BSC has an extremely interesting history, and it was established even before the official creation of OSS (June 1942). Actually, Donovan's OSS was modelled after SOE to a big degree and even used the same facilities (like Camp-X), training material, and instructors in the early years.

  • @rupertbollywood1190

    A Google search reveals the suspect was a founding member of the "Rainbow Literary Club". That could indicate he was a networker - seems like NATO-style networking, right? Toastmasters etc. is dormant in Levice so he didn't have any options but to start that club. Also, as a writer, his source of income is invisible (convenient profession). It's said: "Cintula has written three collections of poetry and published two novels titled The Message of Sacrifice in 2010 and Efata in 2015, according to his literary club's Facebook page. The latter is an overt attack against Slovakia's Roma community, in which he criticises the state and accuses the Roma of abusing social protections." <-- suggests Ukraine ideological alignment. But there's nothing to go on - no smoking gun. He could be just a random loon not acting on anyone's orders. I doubt it, though, because of his age. The rumour mill is suggesting his "Anti Violence Movement" is extremist pro-Russian, and the finger has been pointed at Russia by some prominent people. However, the PM he tried to kill looks more inconvenient for NATO than for Russia. Politico has an article titled: "PM Fico a ‘treacherous ferret’ for appearing on Russian TV, former Slovak leader says".

    The Iran team weren't effective. They had a TV station and a website with lengthy tracts in it from Shi'ite ahadith, and analyses in English, to undermine the "Islamic" basis of the regime.
