🕵️Call us the 'Headquarters Hunters': together with @pustota, we found the 'mail center' of the GRU 'Africa Corps.' You will – and will not – be surprised where we found it. Full thread below 🔽

@KyleJGlen I feel so liberated from my future ability to afford things.

Liberation day is going well then? Is everyone feeling liberated?

256 Cyber Assault Division and InformNapalm blocked a scheme for supplying sanctioned #military equipment to #Russia via #India. Information about this operation is available in 12 languages. informnapalm.org/en/cyberstorm-…

🚨 NEW: @FT investigation reveals evidence that Russian executions of Ukrainian POWs are likely part of a systematic policy. And we uncover the identity of a Russian soldier likely involved in filming and carrying out the mass execution of 6 POWs. 📽️WATCH: ft.com/content/d73113…

The betrayal of the West.

I think the great warrior poet Chief Keef said it best when he said “that’s that shit I don’t like”

Elon Musk lets his full shadow slip, throwing up a Nazi salute at Trump's inauguration. Media branding it an "odd gesture". Be serious, that's a full on Sieg Heil.

I missed this when it was first posted, but in June Rusich posted an unmasked photo of Milchakov in Syria, labeled 2017, confirming the ID made in our article earlier this year. bellingcat.com/news/2024/01/2…

Pictures allegedly showing Kh-1 remnants were posted yesterday by SBU after the Okhmatdyt hospital. But these were not clear as to where they were taken. However, we found other images with some of these pieces gathered just meters away from the hospital. @bellingcat

We couldn't add this to the piece since we were unable to geolocate the photo, but I found this image posted by the SBU notable for showing an external piece of debris, specifically from the rear of the missile.

There's already been a lot of analysis on yesterday's hospital strike in Kyiv, but worked with @Michael1Sheldon, @gianfiorella and @Mabl2K on a quick @bellingcat piece examining some of the footage and remnants from the strike and debunking bad info: bellingcat.com/news/2024/07/0…

Worrying scenes are coming out of Al Fashir & very little makes it to the news. Last week @bellingcat and @BeamReports published a report on the use of weaponry in parts of Al Fashir by the RSF & the targeting of critical infrastructure 1/ bellingcat.com/news/africa/20…

@planet As others have pointed out, likely the strike was the source of the smoke reported on local telegram channels on the early morning of June 2. x.com/bayraktar_1lov…

@planet If I were to eyeball the sun position in the images and compare with Positions given by Suncalc, I would say early morning June 2, probably at around 6am.

Imagery from @planet Super Dove shows a similar amount and direction of smoke on the morning of June 2nd.

One of my major questions after Prigozhin’s death was where Wagner’s most experienced and influential fighting men, its commanders, would go. With recent news, we largely have the answer. ridl.io/the-new-russia…

Happy to announce that I'll be joining @bellingcat at the end of this month as a Senior Researcher. It's fitting, as I've already been working with the excellent team there for the past five years on various investigations with Scripps. Looking forward to continuing that work!

1/9 #AlabugaLeaks. Part 3: Albatross, war, NVIDIA, Sony and Saito. informnapalm.org/en/alabugaleak… InformNapalm continues to investigate data from the #Russian manufacturer of the Albatross UAV`s handed over to our community by acktivists of the Cyber Resistance group @CyberResUa . In this feature, we will show how the Albatross-M5 is used by the Russian Armed Forces in the war against #Ukraine, offer an example of trouble-free development of the Russian military-industrial complex amid weak pre-2022 Western sanctions, and how Albatross circumvents the new wave of sanctions imposed on Russia after 2022. We will also show foreign contracts of Albatross and demonstrate how the global giant NVIDIA @nvidia cooperates with the Russians, as well as SONY @Sony cameras still found in their #UAV's, and Japanese SAITO engines in Alabuga warehouses. 🌐 This thread of tweets will include 9 language versions of this investigation. 🔥 We invite you to share this topic so that publicity can help improve the situation. And Western #sanctions against Russian drone manufacturers started to work better. This is necessary for the entire democratic world community.

Hacking #Russian #UAV manufacturer. Part 1: who assembles Geran-2? Ukrainian hacktivists of the Cyber Resistance team @CyberResUa , in collaboration with @InformNapalm volunteer intelligence community, conducted a multi-level CYBINT operation retrieving more than 100 GB of classified data from the Russian limited liability company ALBATROS. 🔥 See the website for details informnapalm.org/en/hacking-rus… 🌐This article is also available in Ukrainian, Russian, Bulgarian, Swedish, Portuguese and other languages. 🕵️ If you are a journalist or #OSINT investigator and want to get more access to ALBATROS data (#AlabugaLeaks), you can retweet this thread and contact the @CyberResUa account.
