- tokai 3y agoIt has been wild to see Russians soldiers request air/artillery support over Telegram.
- tibbydudeza 3y agoNot very bright. Was wondering about those friendly fire incidents that keeps cropping up from Russian units - one unit got arty on them by the Ukrainians and then they requested counter-fire but their own side dropped it on them instead.
- Kretinsky 3y agoOr a Ukrainian unit could get access to a Russian telegram account and then send malicious requests.
- tibbydudeza 3y agoAt least they would use code words but with the NSA supplying intelligence and most new units deployed are full of mobiks , have little hope for them.
- LegitShady 3y ago9r they could get access to the requesting account and send artillery.
- stefan_ 3y agoProbably because Telegram is a state-level honeypot. The chances a place like Russia would have its population (and lots of people in what they consider their "ex-colonies") communicate over a platform that they can't intercept and monitor are zero. Add a track record of technical incompetence and an absurd backstory of the founder that escapes from state control to .. Cyprus of all places.
