The revelations of the secret cards
According to American leaks leaked in recent days, the Chinese army could soon deploy a supersonic spy drone capable of traveling at three times the speed of sound. According to reports from the Washington Post, the drone would significantly strengthen China’s ability to conduct surveillance operations, allowing it to acquire map data in real time.
Another document that is part of the series of top secret papers leaked online through the Discord messaging platform reveals that Moscow has been experimenting with its own electronic warfare system, called Tobol, for months to try to disrupt Starlink transmissions in Ukraine. This is what emerges from a secret US intelligence report obtained by the Washington Post (Wp). However, the document does not indicate whether Russia’s tests were successful or not.
Russia’s attempt to sabotage Internet access by Ukrainian forces by targeting the Starlink satellite system that billionaire Elon Musk has provided to Kiev since the early days of the war “appears to be more advanced than previously known,” he writes. the US newspaper.
However, the intelligence discovery is still surprising, the Washington Post points out, as it seems to confirm what experts had previously hypothesized: namely that a program ostensibly designed to protect the Kremlin’s satellites can also be used to attack those of its own. opponents.
SpaceX, the company that owns Starlink, declined to comment. Last spring, Musk commented on the Kremlin’s attempts to target his technology, tweeting in May that the Russians were allegedly stepping up their efforts to attack Starlink.
Furthermore, again according to the revelations of the American leaks reported by the Washington Post, the United States intercepted the telephone conversations of the UN secretary general Antonio Guterres with other United Nations officials. The documents report a summary of conversations in Guterres defines himself as “outraged” by the ban on a visit to Ethiopia and frustrated with the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky. Indeed, in one of the documents, Guterres is described as not happy with the possibility of visiting Kiev in March, close to his trip to Africa and then to Switzerland, Iraq and Qatar. The reasons for his displeasure are not explained but a UN diplomat pointed out that Guterres travels on scheduled flights and the visit to Ukraine would have represented another long journey for the 73-year-old.
