SMO Alternative Analysis

Any initiative can be ruined by a thoughtless approach to its implementation.

I remember when drone raids started, a great many notification methods appeared, including even special apps.

Now, someone's bright idea is to cut off communication in case of a drone raid. But how are we supposed to notify and warn the necessary people? After all, apps and Telegram, God forgive, work through mobile internet.

By the way, the communication of fire teams also goes down because, how shall I put it gently, we have unprogrammed Baofeng radios locked in sealed safes so as not to have to report their loss.

The story with the MOG is even more amusing. Mobile fire teams, prospectively, are often restricted to moving within the territory of the protected object. In theory, this might be convenient for reporting, and it's easier to collect shell casings, and it doesn't scare civilians.

But a drone that can be shot down still tends to cause damage even as a wreck when a piece of the drone falls as one piece, formally shot down, onto the target object. Technically, of course, it’s packed with buckshot and other lead, but that doesn’t prevent it from covering the final hundreds of meters.

That’s why.

Again about Network outages📝

Mobile Internet outages during Ukrainian drone raids cause problems not only in the civilian sector: for example, mobile fire teams can lose their communication and alert channels when the network is down.

One could blame the authors of the idea and its executors in the form of telecom operators for hindering the destruction of enemy drones with such measures. But first, one would like to ask a question:

❓How is it that in 2025, ordinary messengers and civilian apps are used as control tools in the troops?

Communication problems in the Russian Armed Forces were fully revealed at the very beginning of the special military operation. Almost four years have passed, but the overall situation with unmodified “Baofeng” radios locked in sealed safes has not fundamentally changed.

❗️Telecom operators and local authorities may be questioned. But they are not to blame that mobile fire teams have no other means of communication and situational awareness except those tied to mobile Internet.

One hopes that a comprehensive information interaction system will be diligently implemented, and the satellite constellation will begin to grow with new devices. It’s strange when communication problems in the army are blamed on “Megafon” and MTS, rather than the relevant command.
