Fascinating story of how GRU unit 29155 replacement, Center 795 was exposed within months of formation in 2023 by Ukrainian hackers who inadvertently came upon internal documents about the airgapped secret unit when they breached the Kalashnikov Concern. youtu.be/JsdSeHnJzU4?is…

Many of the public servants, counter-intel pros, academics, journalists, etc. that Loomer and others worked to malign, de-credential, and mute as “deep state,” 🙄all knew this. That’s why they were targeted in the first place.

Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Russian authorities have used lessons learned from occupying Crimea to entrench their rule of new regions by reengineering telecommunications infrastructure, surveilling cell phones, and suppressing online speech.

At the 2026 @DefenseOne Tech Summit @shieldaitech President @brandontseng2 took a question on the risks of faster experimentation, testing, and adapting of new drone and AI gear. The risks of not innovating fast enough are not poorly understood ... And they're growing.

Outgoing U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard's declassification of intelligence that she claims reveals U.S. funding for biological laboratories, including in Ukraine, was quickly amplified by Russian propaganda bot networks, the Kyiv Independent has learned. kyivindependent.com/russia-uses-tu…

It’s nice to see some MAGA supporters sobering up to the Kremlin’s lies, but what’s even more interesting is the decline in Loomer’s engagement after she started criticizing Russia. Her views, likes, and shares have dropped dramatically. The pro-Russian bots and trolls appear to be gone, and the difference in engagement is easy to see.

Russia continues to train its military space elements and field new antisatellite weapons to disrupt and degrade U.S. and allied space capabilities. rusi.org/explore-our-re…

How is @NATO evolving to meet the changing realities of conflict? During a recent discussion with @DefTechPat, NATO's Major General Dominique Luzeaux spoke about how the conflict in Ukraine is informing the organization's approach to procurement and standards development, starting with a focus on innovating faster than before, and faster than our adversaries.
