Some points of discussion, among others: * Possible strategies and timelines on how Taurus could be used in Ukraine, including mouting to Ukrainian weapons systems (either on SU or F16 fighter jets) * To what extend German troops are involved in mission planning and support I realize most people here don't speak German, but it's 2am here, so I will provide a more thorough summary tomorrow, if the media hasn't by then. Here is an article by Business Insider, though you need to run it through some translator: https://www.businessinsider.de/politik/deutschland/es-ging-um-taurus-haben-die-russen-4-top-soldaten-der-bundeswehr-abgehoert/ https://www.businessinsider.de/politik/deutschland/es-ging-u... Another German source that confirms that this was indeed first leaked in russian media: https://www.zeit.de/news/2024-03/01/wurde-die-kommunikation-der-luftwaffe-abgehoert https://www.zeit.de/news/2024-03/01/wurde-die-kommunikation-...

This a very common FSB and Russian specOps tactic - come-up with a fake coms that are presented as a info leak, to show that there is a secret plot against the state. This tactic was deployed against Russian opposition all the time. Even if it is true, it shouldn't a be surprise that NATO is assisting Ukraine with target acquisitions. I want to believe that Bundeswehr isn't stupid enough to use Webex for secret coms.

There was not discussion here on what the likely attack vectors where, the quality of the recorded call was pretty good after all. Person in the call: likely HTTPS MITM: Possible if no VPN was used or no two way certs used. What else ?
