They've gone beyond the evil of simply following orders from Moscow, from what I've read. The atrocities they've visited upon civilians came from somewhere more local.
Not necessarily. If Putin's orders were to depopulate Ukraine so the land could be backfilled by loyal Russians, then it very easily could result in the sorts of atrocities we've seen against civilians.
One has to wonder, mind you, about the sort of society that creates soldiers willing to commit such crimes...unless, of course, it's like the Stalin years where you followed orders or were shot. Lead poisoning can be a mighty big incentive.
Governance in Russia has meant autocracy for many hundreds of years. You can't really underestimate the influence that has had not only on Russian society, but individual outlooks as well.
Of course, the USSR had guys like Solzhenitsyn and Sakharov, and modern Russia has lots of dissidents as well, so a definitive statement isn't going to be accurate. But I have to think that history of autocracy has to have left its stamp.
It's not a giant leap from there to "enemies of the state."
Satellites can be jammed but it's chicken and egg in a way. F-35s and the like are made for blowing up such equipment. There are satellites which can use digital laser bursts toErrr...SATCOM still use radio frequency signals and, yes, they can be jammed (and, in fact, are jammed). Russia has SATCOM jammers like the Krasukha:
The other challenge with satellites is ensuring you're within the footprint of coverage. Operate outside them and your kill-switch won't work.
It doesn't matter what type of key coding you use, any aircraft system is capable of malfunction, which is why you have back-up systems. Digitally wiping systems of software always leaves traces, and it takes time to execute. Physical destruction is faster but it involves explosives (or other mechanical means) and they can go off unexpectedly.
Given the amount of computing power available (e.g. bitcoin mining), I have little faith that key-based security is invulnerable to hacking. The only way to stop external users accessing a system is to not connect critical components to the outside world. A kill switch would require such an external connection...and it would be a big prize for any hostile hacker.
As a person of Russian ancestry I have one more feeling which is the dominant indeed... Shame. For the nation that has chosen the path of hatred and aggression.I don't know if to laugh about Darth Putin tweet, be furious about the lies of the RTV or feel Pitt about those parents that maybe even belive that.
Probably the three of them but not sure of the dominant one
The Russians finally did something right in the Ukraine.A case of oops ! Must have been registered as MH370.
Russia shoots down their own advanced jet just weeks after delivery
Russia took delivery on a handful of advanced Su-34M fighter bombers late last month, and one has already been shot down over Ukraine. It wasn't Ukrainianwww.sandboxx.us
No I disagree, it was simply part of the great plan that is still going exactly as envisioned.The Russians finally did something right in the Ukraine.

As tough as times are for him, it's nice to see Lavrov still able to smile.Halt to peace talks continues, as Russia says its aims in Ukraine now go beyond eastern Ukraine
