Russian military radio communication is intercepted, military reports are missed, Russian soldiers' voices are also released
Since February 24, 2022, Russia has continued its military invasion of Ukraine. Before and after this military invasion, many people posted movies of fighting vehicles deployed around Ukraine on SNS, and from that information, the recent situation of the Russian army can be seen. The information newly compiled by Christian Torybert, who belongs to the New York Times, highlights detailed information including the contents of Russian military radio communication.
We analyzed dozens of battlefield radio transmissions between Russian forces in Ukraine during the initial invasion of Makariv, a town outside Kyiv. They reveal an army struggling with logistical problems and communication failures: https://t.co/om3U9mGLtW

According to Torybert, Russian troops invading the western town of Kyiv (Kiev) in Ukraine are somehow communicating wirelessly using open frequencies, and the content of the communication is leaked to amateur radio operators. It was said that it was. One of the communications was introduced in the tweet below, and the report by the Russian army that 'the armored vehicle' MT-LB 'was lost and withdrew' is recorded.
This transmission is about a battle in Motyzhyn, a village southeast of Makariv, in which call sign YUG-95 reports his unit pulled out of the battle and lost an armored tracked vehicle called an MT-LB. Pic.twitter.com/UmJ0sOBcVk

In order to identify the above communication content as 'due to the Russian army', a method called open source intelligence (OSINT) that analyzes the target using information posted on SNS and public information that can be legally obtained is useful. I did. According to Torybert, the mayor of McCarib posted on SNS Telegram on the day of the communication that 'we are clearing the enemy near Motyzhyn (village of Macalib)' with this information and local residents. By collating the video taken and released by, it was found that there was an abandoned vehicle that seems to be MT-LB in McCarib, and it was speculated that the communication was also from the Russian army.

It is known that not only Motyzhyn but also the nearby Fasivochka, Kalynivka, Kopyliv, Yasnogorodka, and Borodianka were communicating with the Russian army in this way.

Although it is not possible to track the invasion situation in chronological order because only fragmentary information was gathered, Mr. Torybert argues that 'it is possible to establish the trend of the ground battle in McCarib.'
According to the information, it was confirmed on the morning of February 27, 2022 that Russian military vehicles with the V mark were moving from Borodianka to Lipifka and Macarib.

On the same day, a communication was intercepted by the Russian army saying that it had shot down a Ukrainian helicopter.
Soon, we hear Russian troops on the radio giving battlefield updates — and openly disclosing attack plans for anyone to hear. Here, they're claiming they shot down an Ukrainian helicopter with “two Strela [missiles].” Pic.twitter.com/ 5jAnO8oRRw

Meanwhile, communications reporting that Russian soldiers are 'attacked' have also been intercepted. Listen to the actual audio embedded in the tweet below and you'll see the soldier reporting in an upset voice.

On the morning of February 28, a post was posted after the Ukrainian army attacked the Russian army with a drone.
The next morning, Feb. 28, a Ukrainian fighter filmed the drone strike aftermath and sent it to us. “Look what we have here [...] a destroyed part of the Russian column. Radars, BUKs, tractor trailer / towing vehicle , SAU [self-propelled artillery]. ” Https://t.co/KLB7mBKaQ3 pic.twitter.com/74cb8riJ4V

The invasion of the Russian army into Macalib continued for about a month, but on March 21, 2022, it was reported by the Ukrainian army that the Russian army had withdrawn from Macalib. However, at the time of writing the article, Russia's attacks on various parts of Ukraine continued, and Mr. Torybert also said, 'The battle in Ukraine is continuing,' while introducing photos of the damaged fighting areas.
Ukrainian officials claimed yesterday that they've pushed the Russian forces out of Makariv, nearly a month after they moved in. But at a devastating cost. And fighting in the area continues. Pic.twitter.com/UxzD5wQi0a
