Former Deputy Defense Minister, General Pavel Popov (no relation to Pavel Durov that WE KNOW OF) has shocked the democratic world after having been arrested for fraud.

While that is scandal enough for the Russian Military establishment, it gets even more odious.



Not even a place of joy and celebration of our future Russian century like the military theme park appropriately named PATRIOT PARK is safe from the decadent corruption and moral decay of decadent Collective Western ideals...

Another Popov, this time Major General Ivan Popov, who actually had a semi-positive reputation in Russian military spheres, particularly for his command of the 58th Combined Army during the 2023 Ukrainian CounterOffensive, is facing charges of corruption and embezzlement that arose first last Spring.



It's alleged he embezzled over a million dollars worth of construction and humanitarian material intended for use in Ukraine, misappropriating it to help pay off his own expenses, such as supposedly a $300,000 gambling and sports betting debt.

Others seem to state he was being framed or setup by these charges due to being critical of Russia's top leadership.

The Russian military cargo ship disguised as a civilian container ship, the Ursa Major, sunk in the Mediterranean Sea near the Spanish Coast. Fourteen of the sixteen sailors on board were rescued by the Spanish authorities.

The vessel reportedly suffered a series of three explosions in the Engine Room thus making it highly likely this ships sinking and demise was the result of a suicide.





But actually some Russian sources are alleging this too was a terrorist attack.

Britain reportedly found sensor devices off of their coastline, potentially placed there by Russian vessels to track British submarine movements.



Article:
Russian sensor devices, suspected of gathering data on the movements of Vanguard nuclear submarines, have been found off the coast of the UK.

Several sensors were discovered after being washed ashore, with most found using mine sweepers. These findings were considered a potential threat to national security in London.

Before Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, British intelligence agencies learned that Moscow might have used superyachts owned by Russian billionaires for underwater reconnaissance.

That makes sense.
Word is that Ukraine has been quite an education for the North Korean troops sent there, about how different modern war is, from the last one their country officially fought in.
 
**Major Russian security breach**
The Danish investigative outlet Danwatch and Germany's Der Spiegel managed to obtain over 2 million Russian documents and blue prints related to the Russian nuclear arsenal.
Documents related to the recent and extensive Russian modernization of their nuclear storage and launch facilities where taken from public database.
Among these blueprints included in-depth details of the strategic missile forces base near Yasny which houses Avangard HGVs and their respective ICBM payloads.
The documents also reveal the facilities' internal layout in great detail. They describe where the soldiers eat, sleep and use the toilet. It also describes where they relax, and what exercise equipment they use (primarily treadmills and hand weights), what games they play to pass the time (chess and checkers) as well as what signs hang on the walls ("Stop! Turn around! Forbidden zone!" or "The Military Oath" or "Rules for shoe care"). They describe which rooms of the basements store the protective gear, and where the weapons cabinets stand. And it's written explicitly where the control rooms are located, and which buildings are connected to each other via underground tunnels.
