Ukraine’s military intelligence agency (HUR) has gained access to sensitive data of Russia’s strategic aircraft manufacturer Tupolev, a source in HUR told the Kyiv Independent on June 4.

Tupolev, a Soviet-era aerospace firm now fully integrated into Russia’s defense-industrial complex, has been under international sanctions since 2022 for its role in Russia’s war against Ukraine.

Its bombers have been widely used to launch long-range cruise missiles against Ukrainian cities and infrastructure.

According to the source, HUR’s cyber corps accessed over 4.4 gigabytes (GB) of internal data, including official correspondence, personnel files, home addresses, resumes, purchase records, and closed meeting minutes.

What does o7 mean? I keep on seeing it in lemmy comments recently?

Thanks for asking, I’ve been wondering, too.

The o is a head and the 7 is an arm/hand. It’s a text form of 🫡.

Like a magician, Ukraine continues to pull ace after ace out of their sleeve. It turns out they have so many cards! I can’t wait to see them all.

I’m pretty sure the TU4 can trace it’s roots back to the B29 haha

At this point I have to repeat it daily. I’m old enough to remember fearing the Soviet Union. One of the biggest baddies was Ukraine because they were the brain. Russia forgot this and now they have a nation full of highly motivated eggheads looking to do some damage. If Russian satellite orbits suddenly and catastrophically start to degrade, I wouldn’t be surprised.

Can you elaborate on why Ukraine was the head of the USSR? This is my first time hearing this take and now I"m interested, because I always considered it to be more of a granary.

Looks like this has some info on that. reddit.com/…/how_important_was_ukraine_in_the_sov…

There is a comment in the Reddit thread linked by the other user that sums it up nicely. Ukraine was the California of the Soviet Union. Sevastopol was San Diego and Ukraine housed a lot of the top universities and aerospace engineering in the Soviet Union. Think Stanford and NASA’s JPL in California. In great part, those scary planes, missiles and submarines could be traced back to Ukraine.

(All of this is an oversimplification, of course)

I forgot too. I’m like, “isn’t this what Vlad does well? How did this happen?” Good point

Important to remember that digital data can be just as much a strategic target as an air field. Especially as the US reduces its cybersecurity defenses, and completely relies on increasingly incompetent defense contractors like Boeing.

Good tip, will remember that if/when we get invaded.
