Vehicle I-D: U.S. Army gets new versions of Abrams and Bradley

The U.S. Army’s 3rd Battalion, 67th Armor Regiment, 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division, based on Fort Stewart, Georgia, is playing with new M1A2 SEPv3 Abrams and new M2A4 Bradley Fighting Vehicles.

On 01FEB2022, the ‘Hound Battalion’ of the ‘Spartan Brigade’ got new upgraded M2A4s.

U.S. Army video interview, 01FEB2022, Lieutenant Colonel Mario Iglesias explains what is new about the new M2A4 Bradley:

It should be noted that profits made from the sale of Bradleys goes to the British empire, as the Bradley, once made by a U.S. company, is now made by United Kingdom’s BAE Systems.  BAE began to aggressively take over U.S. defense companies in 2001, the same year that the undeclared War on Terror began.

Then on 11MAR2022, the Hound Battalion got new upgraded M1A2 SEPv3 Abrams battle tanks.

The Spartan Brigade has been chosen to become the most modernized U.S. Army combat unit, by 2023.

This is a ‘dramatic’ U.S. Army 1st Cavalry Division video, from July 2020, explaining the new M1A2 SEPv3:

M1 Abrams are currently made at the Lima Army Tank Plant, currently under contract with U.S. based General Dynamics Land Systems.

In January 2022, the AUKUS member Australia revealed plans to upgrade their M1A2 Abrams tanks to SEPv3 condition.

On 17FEB2022, the U.S. Department of State’s Defense Security Cooperation Agency published an update of plans to allow NATO Poland to buy 250 M1A2 SEPv3.

Cyber-Dome: Idaho joins Israel in new global cyber dominance operation?

11 March 2022  (16:05-UTC-07 Tango 06) 20 Esfand 1400/07 Sha’ban 1443/09 Gui Mao 4720

“The cybersecurity market has evolved rapidly since the beginning of the pandemic, especially when it comes to identifying and developing talented cybersecurity personnel, and providing them an environment where they can make an impact, be challenged and feel successful.”-Edward Vasko, Boise State University’s Institute for Pervasive Cybersecurity

On 02MAR2022, Idaho’s Boise State University (BSU) announced their Cyberdome program was up and running.  BSU’s Institute for Pervasive Cybersecurity is using the Open XDR Platform created by a company called Stellar Cyber (interview with co-founder of Steller Cyber, who blames Pandemic fearmongering mandates for the sudden skyrocketing use of Cyber Domes).  The official reason for this Cyberdome program is to provide rural areas with cyber security, but the program will also offer ‘free’ (state taxpayer funded) cyber security to more than 750 state taxpayer funded agencies (Idaho instituted a federal taxpayer funded Department of Defense cybersecurity operation through its National Guard several years ago and it does not have a good track record of halting cyber crimes).

(Boise State welcomes local governments to the ‘Cyberdome’)

BSU’s Cyberdome operation will be staffed by students, and supposedly is funded by grant money, at least until 2024 or 2025. In July 2021, the Idaho Global Entrepreneurial Mission’s Higher Education Research Council granted BSU $700-thousand per year for at least three years, to create and operate a Cyberdome program.  Idaho Global Entrepreneurial Mission is part of the Higher Education Research Council, which in turn is part of the state taxpayer funded Idaho Board of Education. The ‘grant money’ comes from taxpayers.

Maybe it is a coincidence, but in December 2021 the U.S. Cyber Command, and Israel’s Joint Cyber Defense Division, conducted joint CyberDome operations within the U.S., for the sixth time!   According to The Times of Israel, just weeks before the 2021 joint operation with the U.S., Israel’s Joint Cyber Defense Division also conducted a CyberDome operation that involved ‘simulated’ cyber attacks against the financial institutions of ten countries!

It turns out there are Cyberdome operations everywhere, some presented as government operations, some as private sector operations, there’s even a non-profit Cyberdome led by former U.S. Department of Homeland Security officials that helps ‘protect’ politicians in the United States (it’s called US CyberDome)!

United Arab Emirates based ISnSC claims to have an autonomous Cyber Dome, which can integrate with XDR.

Finland based Nokia has an 5G XDR they call NetGuard Cybersecurity Dome.

There is a CyberDome operation in the African country of Nigeria, and it turns out it is the same CyberDome operation based in Israel!

Bynet Communications in Israel, claims it designed CyberDome. But as you’ll see below, another Israeli company also makes that claim.

In the country of India, the Kerala Police have their own ‘joint’ private/public funded Cyberdome operation.

Israeli Cyber-Dome is the developer of the security add-on Magen. Magen is a security layer that claims to lower the risk of being spied on or having personal data stolen.

I’m amazed how many lovers of cryptocurrencies, and ignorant main stream news sources, are applauding U.S. President Joe Biden’s latest executive order.  The Devil is in the details, and the details do not say the U.S. is going to accept privately generated cryptocurrencies!

To make it quick, Biden’s order gives numerous government officials 180 days to present him with what they think will benefit the U.S., and what is a threat to the U.S.  The focus of the order is on all aspects of U.S. National Security.  Primarily it is about stopping “…foreign CBDCs…” from  usurping “…existing currencies and alter the payment system in ways that could undermine United States financial centrality…”

If there is going to be any U.S. backed cryptocurrency it is going to be one that is created by the U.S. government: “….to develop a strategic plan for Federal Reserve and broader United States Government action, as appropriate, that evaluates the necessary steps and requirements for the potential implementation and launch of a United States CBDC.”

Russia claims to have damning evidence the U.S. was using Ukraine for biological warfare experiments in at least thirty Ukrainian biological laboratories. It is yet more evidence of a massive global biological warfare program commanded by the U.S. Army’s Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), that I’ve been reporting since 2015, when I discovered a U.S. military operation called JUPITR ATD.  Russia also accuses NATO members like Germany and Poland, and the NATO protectorate Georgia, of being involved in Ukrainian biologic experiments.

In this Russian Ministry of the Defense of Russia video, posted 07MAR2022, it was also discovered that DTRA ops in Ukraine ramped up in 2014 (after the pro-NATO ‘revolution’) and that since then there have been outbreaks of numerous diseases in Ukraine, to the point the United Nations’ World Health Organization (UN-WHO) says you don’t want to go there. Russia says the U.S. biological experiments violates international law and is a war crime:

Update: On 11MAR2022, Reuters revealed that the UN-WHO  “advised Ukraine to destroy high-threat pathogens housed in the country’s public health laboratories to prevent any potential spills that would spread disease among the population.”

World War 3: NATO Response Force deploys, but not for Ukraine?

NATO has deployed its Response Force for the first time.  Keep in mind that members of NATO are officially called “member states” indicating that NATO is not just a ‘defensive’ military pact, but is a pseudo-government!

NATO press conference, 04MAR2022, in which it is clear NATO is not going to fight for Ukraine, saying “We are not part of this conflict, and we have a responsibility to ensure it does not escalate and spread beyond Ukraine.”:

On 03MAR2022, NATO Canada updated its laundry list of military stuff Canadian taxpayers are going to give to Ukraine (now approaching hundreds of millions of Canadian dollars).

At the beginning of March, NATO France deployed some of its Rafale jets to help patrol over NATO Poland.

At the end of February, NATO United Kingdom began ‘forward deploying’ its Royal Welsh armor units in NATO Germany into NATO Estonia.  Royal Air Force jets based in Cyprus are now patrolling over NATO Poland and NATO Romania.  The Royal Navy is sending ships from NATO U.K. to patrol the Baltic Sea.

Vehicle I-D: What happens when both sides use the same weapons?

Ukraine is the birthplace of Russia.  Today’s larger Russia expanded out of Ukraine.  In the 20th Century the new Union of Soviet Socialist Republics allowed the creation of a separate Soviet Republic of Ukraine. It was during the time of the Soviet Union that Ukraine became a major manufacturer of weapon systems for the U.S.S.R.  In 1991, Ukraine lead the collapse of the Soviet Union by declaring independence.  Then there was the creation of the European Union (EU).  Both the EU and NATO have been actively involved in ‘behind-the-scenes’ influence of the Ukrainian government, for decades now.  Despite that, even today Russia and Ukraine use the same type of major weapon systems.  How do you tell them apart during combat?

This T-64BV is not marked, but carries large Russian and Donbas militia flags.

Russia has obviously thought about that because their ground vehicles, along with the military ground vehicles of Donetsk Republic and Lugansk (Luhansk) Republic have been given unique operational markings.  They look like Latin alphabet letters but are not.  They also indicate the Area of Operation (AO); North in Kiev Oblast, or South in Donbas.

Video from the end of February 2022, Donbas-Lugansk Republic militia and their trucks, BMP-1s and 2S1 SP Guns, all marked with ‘Z’, waiting for orders to move-out:

Somewhere in Donbas.

In the Southern, Donbas area of operation (AO), Russian, Lugansk and Donetsk tracked and wheeled vehicles are marked with a ‘Z’.

Ukrainian made KrAZ armored car, in use by local Donbas forces.

Video of Russians meeting with Lugansk Republic troops, 03MAR2022:

T-64BV somewhere in Donbas.

Video report, posted on 03MAR2022, Ukrainian Ground Forces abandoned a T-64BV, Lugansk Republic forces quickly claimed it by spraying ‘Z‘ symbols on it, and working to repair it for their own use (it was one of two abandoned T-64BVs, the video also shows an abandoned BRDM-2):

Abandoned Ukrainian T-64BV, now in the hands of the Donbas militias as indicated by the ‘Z’ painted on the skirts.

In the Northern Kiev Oblast AO the vehicles are marked with a ‘V’. Video of ‘V‘ marked Russian BMPs, BRTs and T-72B3s entering the Kiev Oblast of Ukraine from Belarus, the road sign gives the location away as the Gomel (Homiel) Oblast, Belarus-Kiev Oblast, Ukraine border crossing (heading towards Chernobyl Exclusion Zone?), 03MAR2022:

When you see a Western news report about Russian activities, if they are talking about Kiev AO (Area of Operation), but the images show vehicles with ‘Z‘ on them then the images are actually from the Donbas AO.
