This article just popped up on me yesterday. I don’t really care about Ukraine VS Russia. I only care about the techniques used in an active near peer conflict. In my TacComms class we discuss using field phones to avoid common RF detection techniques and here it is in actual use. As Ukraine prepares forContinue reading “Ukraine war: How old tech is helping Ukraine avoid detection – BBC News”
