“We are waging a fourth-generation asymmetric war. And cyberattacks are one of the elements of information warfare. A field for, let's say, aggressive offensive actions on the part of Ukraine's military intelligence,” said the former intelligence officer.

He recalled the words of Kyrylo Budanov, head of the Main Intelligence Directorate, that “we need victories in order to maintain the nation's will to win,” and added: “General Maliuk's team [head of the Security Service of Ukraine] achieved such a victory against the bombers, and Budanov's team supported these actions and launched a cyberattack on the alma mater where these TU [aircrafts] are developed.”

He explained that the Tupolev Design Bureau is not only an office that develops and designs military, civil, and special aircraft. It also repairs and services aircraft. The main recipient of such services is the special flight squadron “Russia,” which provides transportation for top Russian officials on its Tu-204-300, Tu-214, Tu-214SR, and Tu-214PU aircraft.

“When we have this information, we know about the suppliers and everything else... The Russians now need to take a whole range of additional measures to ensure the safety of flights for senior state officials. They need to check every single detail that comes in,” Pavlenko said.

“And the first is that we are showing the whole world their vulnerability, that they [the Russian Federation] are not so omnipotent and powerful,” concluded the former deputy head of military intelligence.

As reported by Ukrinform, Ukrainian intelligence hacked the resources of the Russian Federation's strategic aviation manufacturer, the Tupolev Design Bureau.

So while the Russian ethnicity/culture as we think of it began in Kiev, the thinking since then has been that Kiev belongs to Moscow.

Hitler made the mistake of giving Stalingrad too much importance and consequently spread his armies way too thin.

Capturing a city named after Stalin would've been a big psychological blow... capturing a city that was a major industrial center would've hurt Russia... capturing a city that gave Germany control of the Volga River would've been a big blow, because Russia was getting the majority of its oil from the Caucasus, shipped through Stalingrad. But also since Germany needed that oil, itself... well, that's why Hitler split the army to try to seize both Stalingrad and the Caucasus oil fields.

Hitler was driven by a material need, too. The allies blockade was causing energy problems for him. He couldn't import oil from the US, Iran, and Venezuela like he had been doing.

Ukrainian forces launched a missile strike on June 5 targeting a concentration of Russian missile troops near the city of Klintsy in Russia’s Bryansk Oblast, the General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces reported.

The strike reportedly destroyed one Iskander missile launcher and seriously damaged two others. The targeted unit, part of Russia’s 26th Missile Brigade, had attempted to fire on Ukrainian territory — likely aiming at Kyiv — before it was hit, according to the military.

"Thanks to effective reconnaissance and the coordinated efforts of the Armed Forces and the Security Service of Ukraine, the targets were successfully hit," the General Staff said.

The agency added that there were no civilian casualties, and assessments of Russian losses are ongoing.

The Iskander is a short-range ballistic missile system used by Russia for precision strikes against military and infrastructure targets.

With a range of up to 500 kilometers (some 311 miles) and the ability to carry conventional or nuclear warheads, the system remains a key component of Russia's tactical missile forces.

Ukraine appears to have gotten inside Russia's decision loop, whether via a mole, sigint or maybe even AI predicting Russian moves before they make them.

All that is true, but he should have done one thing at a time.

He never took control over Leningrad, Moscow, Stalingrad or the Caucus’ oil fields.

Yep... he was arrogant and underestimated the Soviets

Have you read his posts? He is the one insisting that people who disagree with him are Ukrainian. You don't need to defend his honor. We can all read.

If he wants to talk shite, then it is only fair people can respond.
