Thank you :slight_smile:


Back to the war and the effects of it.

Unfortunately, Russian air defence shot down a civilian plane, mistaking it for being a Ukrainian drone.

I watched this video posted in another forum…the amount of fibre optics drone-control cables left covering the city was unimaginable.

Ukrainians are uplifted about the start of the Russian offensive and the preliminary results.

Started early and results don’t look promising. Looks more in hope than anything to be honest. Possibly with a view to the spring melt making everything glue again to avoid a counterattack in force once it’s spent. Seems a strange way to conduct a war, to be completely honest, looking for free hits.

What do they have to fear, I wonder…

Lots of speculation, State Security, succession maneuvers, internal pogrom, Putin’s fear of Ukrainian drones + mobile broadband.

I can only speculate, but several old powerful figures close to Putin has been arrested.

Have they closed Internet access, or the actual transmission towers? If the latter, is it possible that Ukrainian drones are using triangulation on mobile phone masts for navigation?

That is the official reason for the shutdown (Ukrainian drones).

I am very skeptical of that reasoning. What I do know, is that Russians cannot get on the internet now even with VPN. I think there are other reasons behind this, but it is a bit mysterious still. I view it as a sociopolitcal control mechanism implemented by the Kremlin for such reasons personally.
