SpaceX CEO Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite technology has been used in the Russia-Ukraine War to help Ukraine with communications. However, an “interference” has created friction between Musk and Ukraine officials. According to excerpts obtained by CNN from an unreleased biography on Musk, Starlink satellites were off over Russian-controlled Crimea last year, preventing a Ukrainian drone…
On the same day Cuba announced the arrests of 17 people in an alleged human trafficking ring aimed at bolstering Russia’s military, the CIA renewed its push to turn some Russians into spies against their own government. The agency released a video titled “Why I made contact with the CIA – for myself” on social…
It looks like Ukraine’s Armed Forces found a new source of explosives. The Ukrainians are literally mining Russian minefields, repurposing recovered TM-62 anti-tank mines, and giving them back to their former owners by dropping them from drones. This war is full of great examples of battlefield engineering, but this new strategy certainly tips the scales…
