I very much agree that just blocking western IPs is far from a perfect (or even at all _good_) way, and I'm not saying that anyone there thinks that. I don't even think the goal is to perfectly block all westerners. It's just enough to stop the average Joe from reading around out of curiosity, whyever they want that. I mean, it's still a public facing website after all, it's not like they're going to put anything of significant strategic value or whatever on there. Also, to me the theory that they're doing this on purpose makes the most sense, because everything else would imply that somehow the IT team of the Russian military is somehow not able to fix this, and that some error or hacktivists caused this scenario, where western IPs get an almost unused HTTP status code and Russian IPs don't. Both just seems very unlikely to me.
