Jesus, Ukraine just killed Gen. Maj. Vitaly Gerassimov, chief of staff of the 41 Army. At Kharkiv. Russia, if you're listening: delete your army.

This is not the worst part. In the phone call in which the FSB officer assigned to the 41st Army reports the death to his boss in Tula, he says they've lost all secure communications. Thus the phone call using a local sim card. Thus the intercept.pic.twitter.com/cgHHo7VaRi

His boss, who makes a looong pause when he hears the news of Gerassimov's death (before swearing), is Dmitry Shevchenko, a senior FSB officer from Tula. We identified him by searching for his phone (published by Ukrainian military Intel) in open source lookup apps.pic.twitter.com/VyNAytitnK

In the call, you hear the Ukraine-based FSB officer ask his boss if he can talk via the secure Era system. The boss says Era is not working. Era is a super expensive cryptophone system that
@mod_russia introduced in 2021 with great fanfare. It guaranteed work "in all conditions"pic.twitter.com/MlIt8NNwLE

The idiots tried to use the Era cryptophones in Kharkiv, after destroying many 3g cell towers and also replacing others with stingrays. Era needs 3g/4g to communicate. The Russian army is equipped with secure phones that can't work in areas where the Russian army operates.

In closing, here's the origin of the greatest military opsec failure of all time. First, Putin signed the so-called
@bellingcat law, prohibiting soldiers from posting on social media. Then he told the military to not use foreign phones as they are "insecure". The rest is history.pic.twitter.com/6uCe7RWEyr

If the whole war wasn't such a tragedy, this would be quite amusing to see.. I mean each day, each hour, the Russians are outdoing themselves..

It's so sad that there's so many people dying every day. Because otherwise the whole ''special operation'' is so bizzare and sometimes even funny. It's a real time comedy.

1/2 - Dima, can you get on a secure channel? - The secure doesn't work here, we can't get anyone. Where are you? - I'm on my secure channel. How are you doing? - Not great, given the latest news. - Yes, Smetov has told me. Were they evacuated at the very least?
