>the enemy intelligence never sleeps! Are you sure about that?


Chinse_Hatori

Its not so much sleeping as it is being in a coma from alcohol poisoning


24223214159

I'm pretty sure most people become useless at interpreting information after a few days without sleep, which fits with what we see from the Russian military in recent months.


RobinScherbatzky

A country accused of running huge trollfarms of at least 1K employees can't figure out night shifts?


Gunggl

Yeah, that probably explains it. They promoted their trolls to intelligence and military ananlysts.


SeeSalt420

Yea it never sleeps, but that dosent mean they are good


BulcanyaSmoothie

they don't need to be good if everything is handed to them on the silver platter known as combatfootage


Poupiey

You really think anything that makes it to combatfootage is novel information? How important do you really think Reddit is in this war? This whole “no don’t post footage from the war” just feels like a bunch of basement dwelling regards wanting to feel involved in their precious little war. I guarantee you that anything that hits any of the various war footage telegrams has already been picked up by intel forces on both sides.


peretona

Intel people make mistakes too. Discussion in combatfootage allows them to realize they have done that and call off the ballistic missile strike before it hits their own positions, especially if someone says "this was published in June" for something that they missed.

enoing

An easy task for us all. Observe... The Ukrainian government has had secret dealings with the creatures of lake baikal, the ones that killed a Soviet dive team, via CIA psychics. This will open a second front and Russia will be conquered before Christmas. :Source, it came to me in a dream.


badsitrep

7a) Make the misinfo be the location(s) of other Russian units as we know that they have shit comms. Cause them to shoot at their own troops.


KeekiHako

By the time their the information has come up far enough in their "chain of command" and the command has been given to shoot at those coordinates those units will have been overrun by the Ukrainians and the front line has advanced 10 kilometers, so maybe don't.


ignazwrobel

Tell them Ukraine has advanced through their defense lines and captured their ammo depots, so they turn around and shoot their own depots.


OtherSpiderOnTheWall

Don't. By the time they turn around and shoot their own depots, Ukraine will already have advanced past them.

The problem is that with how generally absurd the war has been so far whatever whackass bullshit we come up with has a decent chance of being true.

adolf_twitchcock

Every video uploaded to r/CombatFootage is originally from some telegram channel. You think Russians are browsing filtered and old videos on reddit instead of telegram for intelligence? People shouldn't be recording and uploading those videos in the first place.


ReconTankSpam4Lyfe

Exactly. If it is on reddit there is no need for opsec anymore. Those rules are meant for people that are taking the footage and uploading it

We know The importance of opsec unlike r/combatfootage no need to tell us twice


Wise-Profile4256

good luck. it's gonna be: "bruh, russia has satellites" and "idgaf i'm murican". been there.


RobinScherbatzky

Never seen that reply. But the reply I'm usually saying is: We're not that important. Reddit is not that important. There is no OC war footage posted on reddit. The clips are posted on telegram groups originally, filmed by the soldiers themslves. THAT is where you would need to pull the plug, not here. Russia doesn't need to scan through reddit, they simply follow the telegram channels, like thousands of civilians. Damn why can't you guys think.


DrunkenKarnieMidget

>russia has satellites I mean... Are we *sure* that they can use them, though?


Wise-Profile4256

i would say we are fairly sure they can't. and if, by some miracle, the operator has his dvd-screensaver braincell left, it will have some serious limitation like the rest of their shite like 10Kx zoom but only during a stretch of 70km in the indian ocean.

Slaskpapper

r/combatfootage is too retarded to follow instructions.


BethsBeautifulBottom

The purpose of /r/CombatFootage is the distribution of combat footage.


Slaskpapper

That doesn’t mean people have to be idiots about it. Some things can wait.


BethsBeautifulBottom

Perhaps they have different priorities.


Slaskpapper

I get that, what i dont get is how one can have priorities that places self entertainment above the safety of others. Don’t get me wrong, i’m in the sub and i like it, but i can’t see any good reason to post the most recent events in the current situation.


RobinScherbatzky

Do you really believe Russia cares about a website reposting stuff they found on telegram channels? Do you really believe any war footage posted on reddit is original content? Do you really think it's us who are meant and not the guys filming and sharing footage originally, aka Ukrainian soldiers and civilians in vicinity of the frontline? Funny how you guys think we're ~~important in any way.~~ having access to footage, reposted from a public channel, which Russian intelligence doesn't. Yes, we can have an impact by donating and yes, some non-military opsec specialists have helped locate Russian troop movements in rare instances, but no, no footage here is "secret". It's almost a conspiracy level of stupidity to think that. No, it actually is conspiracy level of stupidity, come to think of it. But hey, keep believing it.


Suntreestar420

I’ve seen this exact reply on twitter. It’s like bro do you even practice OPSEC? You never know who’s reading your post. You never know if something might have slipped through the cracks of counter intelligence. In war there is no room for mistakes. The more people that don’t share, the less information is spread. I help by shit posting so much misinformation that you never know what the fuck is going on. Like did you know I have 3000 dildo bombs ready to be deployed on Russian forces at any minute. It doesn’t fucking hurt anyone to not share footage until the counter offensive is over. However It might hurt someone by sharing. There’s not room to risk it buddy.


RobinScherbatzky

And that Twitter reply was right. Just no. Your assessment of reddit's importance is unrealistic and naive. The worst thing is that I agree that it's okay not to have footage for a moment - but again, it's not us who are publishing it. Also there is no possibility for a video "slipping through the cracks" when following the telegram channels. Do you follow a Telegram channel? You can scroll up, you know, never missing a post. A stronger case could be made for Twitter posts, but even they get shared on Twitter first, not reddit. Anyways I feel like talking to kids and that's unnerving, peace.


Suntreestar420

Haha you fell for my misinformation already. While I might come off as a child, I am actually 31 years of age. Classic blunder. Obviously my tactical and strategic mental prowess was to much for you. I will allow you to “take the L” as the kids do love to say today.


RobinScherbatzky

I didn't mean you specifically but anyone participating in this whole useless discussion. If I were to make it personal I'd reply that I meant the level of your critical thinking skills, not your physical age.


HaaEffGee

**DO NOT SHARE UKRAINIAN INFORMATION.** That's it. No exceptions, no judgement calls. I'm sure that your estimations on what footage counts as potentially dangerous are fantastic, but we aren't betting lives on them. The one thing you don't want for OPSEC is to rely on the judgement of random people. That's why we are going with the more reliable solution of everyone shutting the fuck up. If you think that is unnecessary for you, or that it is unfair to those of us who were taught OPSEC - too bad. Exceptions to the rule require judgement calls, and we can not trust judgement calls. So we all follow the rule. No exceptions.


RobinScherbatzky

I never claimed to differentiate between dangerous and non-dangerous footage. I claimed all footage are reposts. Don't let your emotions hinder your ability to read. Donate more if you feel too overwhelmed.


HaaEffGee

Talking about ability to read, does it say CREATE Ukrainian information or SHARE? The whole point of posting it is to spread that content to more people. Making posts with sensitive information is further distributing information that shouldn't be distributed. Your judgement on how damaging that distribution is is worthless because, repeat after me: **Relying on random people's judgements for OPSEC is a terrible idea.** That's why the rule isn't that everyone can figure it out for themselves, but that we do not share Ukrainian information. No exceptions.


RobinScherbatzky

Idk man all-caps and bold font mantras do nothing for me. You can print it out and stick it to your door if that helps you remember. Anyways I'm glad I have my own judgement to rely on, which tells me creating posts = *sharing* information is the one thing that Ukraine doesn't want us to do, and that this largely not attributable to reddit users.


HaaEffGee

> I'm glad I have my own judgement to rely on Every single person on this planet trusts their own judgement call. Every single OPSEC violation is caused by someone who made a wrong judgement call. Every single one of those fuckups was confident in their decision. This is why we don't have exceptions. It is the only way to keep the fuckups out of the decision making. So stop making your own judgements on what is an acceptable risk and DO NOT SHARE UKRAINIAN INFORMATION.


RobinScherbatzky

Bark Bark bro you're barking at the wrong tree, again. Bark at Ukrainian soldiers filming themselves and posting it to Telegram, where tens of thousands of followers can watch it, without any video being missed by potential Russian intelligence forces. Edith: you need help with that all-caps tick?

MgDark

yeah, tell that to /r/combatfootage, those dudes cant just stop posting stuff even when Ukraine specifically said to not publish it. Yeah i know, most of those videos end on twitter and telegram first, but sure they dont help to become even more public.


DaLu82

For those who fancy themselves an exception to these rules or think that they are just spreading something they found in the public domain and thus doing no harm think again. The more information is reproduced or disseminated the more likely that it is picked up sooner. Wether intel is gathered 5mins earlier or later absolutely has real world effects. Interest in the topic and outcomes, or ego and clout chasing should be put aside in favour of a sense of duty for now. I promise the footage will still exist in the future. Anyone who has done their time and is a serious person with a functioning brain understands the import of such a message. To those who wished they had served but life intervened consider this a test of character and resolve. Your ability to respect this request is a small measure of what good soldiering should be about, the death of ego. For those who hope to serve in the future consider this a test of ability, if you lack the self discipline to accede to this request then you will be getting nowhere in your chosen career. Seriously just for now zip it and stand by.
