If the russians could get the mother's phone numbers, why not the sons? If you're able to identify the location of call activity, why aren't you able to identify the cell while not on a call, when as far as I am aware there is still communication?
- Ma8ee 6y agoMaybe they couldn’t and just sent the SMS to a lot of random numbers. Those that belonged to mothers at the frontline naturally tried to call their sons.
- rezeroed 6y agoRight. Still curious about monitoring cell activity only during calls. Thinking if you can monitor the cells, just look at the front line cells for comms.
- jinglebells 6y agoThey didn't know where the front line was?
- rezeroed 6y agoYou're involved in a conflict and you don't know where the front line is?
- TeMPOraL 6y agoThey knew where the front line was, they were trying to learn where the Ukrainian forces were positioned along that front line.
- rezeroed 6y agoRight, so back to the question - why not just monitor front line cells for activity, which i think can be done without making calls?
- TeMPOraL 6y agoI'm guessing: they needed a way to distinguish the troops from the civilians living in the area. By triggering a mass amount of calls to frontline soldiers, they made their positions light up in front of the overall background.
