... Vova Vovapoeg on teinud ameeriklastele ja eurooplastele tugeva tünga Süürias ning pannud otsustajad raskustesse. Kas käik Ukrainas ei võinud olla vastulöök Vovotška positsioonidele ja mõista andmine, et kokkulepped on mõeldud nendest kinnipidamiseks? Tugevdaks nii lahkuva kui ka ametisse astuva presidendi positsioone. Oli ju Porošenko üks esimesi, kes Trumpiga suhtles?

CrowdStrike found that a variant of the Fancy Bear malware that was used to penetrate the DNC’s network in April 2016 was also used to hack an Android app developed by the Ukrainian army to help artillery troops more efficiently train their antiquated howitzers on targets.

The Ukrainian army’s D-30 towed howitzers, which date to the Soviet era, typically take a number of minutes to position based on hand-drawn targeting data. With the Android app, positioning takes 15 seconds, CrowdStrike found.

The Fancy Bear crew evidently hacked the app, allowing the GRU to use the phone’s GPS coordinates to track the Ukrainian troops’ position. In that way, the Russian military could then target the Ukrainian army with artillery and other weaponry.

Ukrainian brigades operating in eastern Ukraine were on the front lines of the conflict with Russian-backed separatist forces during the early stages of the conflict in late 2014, CrowdStrike noted. By late 2014, Russian forces in the region numbered about 10,000. The Android app was useful in helping the Russian troops locate Ukrainian artillery positions.

According to the International Institute for Strategic Studies, Ukrainian artillery forces lost more than 50 percent of their weapons in the two years of conflict and more than 80 percent of their D-30 howitzers, the highest percentage of loss of any artillery piece in their arsenal, the report stated.

The app was not available in the Android app store and was distributed only through the social media page of its developer, who is a Ukrainian artillery officer, Yaroslav Sherstuk, according to CrowdStrike. It could be activated only after the developer was contacted and a code was sent to the individual downloading the application.

The other group that hacked the DNC also works for Russian intelligence, CrowdStrike reported earlier this year. But the firm is not sure if it is the more internally focused FSB, or the foreign intelligence arm, the SVR. Both grew out of the KGB.

That group, which CrowdStrike has called Cozy Bear, has not apparently been deployed in the influence operation, Alperovitch said. Rather, it is focused on traditional espionage. It is the group that is believed to have hacked unclassified networks of the State Department, White House and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Ukraina ajakirjanduse andmeil pole põhjust rõõmustada ka nende poolel, sest väidetavasti võeti taganevat vastast jälitanud ja kõrgendiku hõivanud sõdurid tule alla ning nad jäid sinna lõksu. Kui meenutada ukrainlastele sadu ohvreid toonud lüüasaamisi Debaltseve ja Ilovaiski katlas, kõlab see teadaanne üsna pahaendeliselt. Seekord on lõksujäänud sõdureid siiski pigem paarkümmend.

Ka mulle tundub see UKR artilleeria massiliste kadude jutt täielik jama.
